Hamburgers

Method

Hamburgers

  1. 1

    Prepare the beef mixture

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

  2. 2

    Form the patties

    Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center with your thumb to prevent puffing up while cooking.

  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 for medium doneness. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.

  4. 4

    Prepare the buns

    While the patties are cooking, slice the burger buns in half and toast them lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Assemble the burgers

    On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a cooked patty with melted cheese, a slice of tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
