Method

Burger Patty Preparation

Prepare the Patty Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until just combined.

Form the Patties

Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, making sure they are slightly larger than the burger buns as they will shrink during cooking.

Cooking the Patty

Cook the Patties

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Burger Assembly

Prepare the Tomato

While the patties are cooking, wash and slice the tomato into thin rounds.

Assemble the Burger

Once the patties are cooked, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster. On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty, tomato slices, and top with 2 tablespoons of special sauce. Finally, place the top half of the bun on each burger.
