Method

Burger Patty

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
