Burger Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Patties

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

  2. 2

    Form the Patties

    Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions (about 1/4 lb each) and shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.

  3. 3

    Cook the Burgers

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

  4. 4

    Add Cheese (Optional)

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

  5. 5

    Assemble the Burgers

    Place each patty on a burger bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard as desired. Serve immediately.
