Burgers Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Make the Patties

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined.

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. If using cheese, add a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burgers

   Toast the burger buns lightly. Place a patty on each bun, top with lettuce, tomato slices, ketchup, and mustard. Close the burger with the top bun.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the burgers warm with a side of fries or your favorite side dish.
