Method

Burger Patty Preparation

Prepare the Patty Mixture

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

Form Patties

Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾ inch thick.

Cooking the Burger

Preheat the Grill or Skillet

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

Cook the Patties

Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until desired doneness is reached.

Add Cheese

If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.

Assembling the Burger

Prepare the Buns

While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and lightly toast them if desired.

Assemble the Burger

On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by the cooked patty, a slice of tomato, and any desired condiments such as ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
