Beef Burger Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef Patties

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

2. 2

   Form the Patties

   Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1 inch thick.

3. 3

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

   Prepare the Buns

   Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.

5. 5

   Assemble the Burger

   On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a beef patty, a slice of tomato, and your choice of ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.

   Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite sides.
