Preparing the Burger Patty

1

Mix Ingredients

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

3

Preheat Grill or Pan

Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

4

Cook Patties

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

5

Add Cheese (Optional)

If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover to melt.
