Method
Prepare the Beef Patty
Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Use your hands to mix the ingredients until well combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Form the Patties
Divide the meat mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, ensuring they are slightly larger than the burger buns as they will shrink while cooking.
Cook the Burger
Assemble the Burger
Prepare the Toppings
While the patties are cooking, wash and chop the lettuce, slice the tomato, and prepare the pickles.
Build the Burger
Once the patties are cooked to your desired doneness, remove them from the heat. Toast the burger buns if desired. Place a patty on the bottom bun, then layer with lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
