1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp Watkins garlic powder

1/2 tsp Onion powder

Method

Burger Patty Preparation

Mix the Ingredients

In a bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well using your hands until the spices are evenly distributed.

Form the Patties

Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form each into a patty that is about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

Cooking the Patties

Preheat the Grill or Skillet

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

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 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Assembling the Burger

Toast the Buns

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

Layer Ingredients

On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty. Add a slice of tomato and a few rings of onion. Top with ketchup and mustard to taste, then cover with the top half of the bun.
