Burger Ingredients

Method

Burger Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine your choice of ground meat or black beans for the veggie option. If using meat, add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly until combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

  4. 4

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, you can toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble Your Burger

    Once cooked, place the patties on the bottom half of the toasted buns. Add your favorite toppings and sauces, then place the top half of the bun on top.
