Burger Patties

Burger Assembly

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Season the Beef

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender patty.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into round patties, about 3/4 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Make a Dimple

    Using your thumb, make a small dimple in the center of each patty to help them cook evenly.

Cooking the Patties

  1. 4

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until hot.

  2. 5

    Cook the Patties

    Place the patties on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side until browned, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes. If using cheese, add a slice to each patty during the last minute of cooking.

  3. 6

    Check for Doneness

    Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the patties reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 7

    Prepare the Buns

    Lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  2. 8

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, and your desired amount of ketchup and mustard.

  3. 9

    Finish the Burger

    Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately with extra condiments on the side.
