Preparation

Prepare the Burger Patty

1. Combine Ingredients

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

2. Form Patties

Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and form each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

3. Preheat Grill or Skillet

Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little oil to prevent sticking.

4. Cook the Patties

Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assemble the Burger

5. Prepare Toppings

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

6. Toast the Buns

Optionally, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.

7. Build the Burger

On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty. Top with tomato slices, pickles, and any desired condiments (ketchup and mustard).

8. Finish and Serve

Place the top half of the bun on the assembled burger. Serve immediately with fries or your choice of side.
