Burger Patty

Toppings

Method

Preparing the Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the patties are cooking, wash and chop the lettuce, slice the tomato, and slice the onion.

  2. 6

    Toast the Buns (optional)

    If desired, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  3. 7

    Assemble the Burger

    Once the patties are cooked, place each patty on the bottom half of a bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese if using.

  4. 8

    Finish and Serve

    Place the top half of the bun on each burger and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
