Hamburger Patty

Burger Assembly

Method

Prepare the Patty

  1. 1

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.

  2. 2

    Form Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

Cook the Patties

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.

  2. 4

    Cook Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until browned, then flip them over. If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Assemble the Burger

  1. 5

    Prepare Buns

    Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until they are golden brown.

  2. 6

    Layer Ingredients

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