Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

  4. 4

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the grill or pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium doneness. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  5. 5

    Toast the Buns

    While the patties are cooking, you can toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Burgers

    Spread ketchup and mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Place the cooked patties on top, followed by lettuce and tomato slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides.
