Preparation
Mix the Beef
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Use your hands to mix gently until the ingredients are just incorporated. Do not overwork the meat.
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indent in the center of each patty to help it cook evenly.
