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 the Patty
Shape the meat mixture into a single burger patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of the patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up while cooking.

3
Preheat the Grill or Pan
Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
4
Cook the Patty
Place the burger patty on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.

5
Prepare the Bun
While the patty is cooking, slice the burger bun in half if not pre-sliced. Toast it lightly on the grill or in a toaster if desired.
6
Add Toppings
Once the burger patty is cooked to your liking, place it on the bottom half of the toasted bun. Top the patty with 2 tablespoons of ketchup and place a whole green olive on top.
7
Complete the Burger
Place the top half of the bun on the burger, press down gently, and your Single Olive Burger is ready to serve!
