Hamburger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

1

Prepare the beef patties

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

2

Shape the patties

Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties that are about ¾ inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

3

Cook the patties

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, adding a slice of cheese on top during the last minute of cooking, if desired.

4

Toast the buns

While the patties are cooking, split the burger buns and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

5

Assemble the burgers

Layer the bottom half of each toasted bun with lettuce, the cooked beef patty (with cheese), tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

6

Serve

Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
