Method

Burger Patty Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Patty Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty that is slightly larger than the burger buns.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Heat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, you may add a little oil to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip the patties and cook for another 4-5 minutes. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty in the last minute of cooking to melt.

Burger Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Burger Buns

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

  2. 6

    Assemble the Burger

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a patty, a slice of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard to taste. Top with the other half of the bun.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately while hot with additional sides as desired.
