Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Patty Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

2

Form the Patties

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent bulging while cooking.

3

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your charbroiler or grill to medium-high heat.

4

Cook the Burgers

Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. If using cheese, add a slice on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking.

5

Prepare the Buns

Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

6

Assemble the Burgers

Layer lettuce, tomato slices, pickles, and your preferred condiments on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Place the cooked patty on top and cover with the top half of the bun.

7

Serve

Serve the charbroiled burgers immediately with your favorite sides.
