Burger Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

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

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty in the last minute of cooking.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buns

    Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, add the cooked patty, and top with tomato slices, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Finish with the top half of the bun.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
