1/2 Lb Burger Recipe

Burger Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Patties

   In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until just combined. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties approximately 1 inch thick.

2. 2

   Cook the Patties

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, until browned. Flip the patties and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium rare, or longer if desired.

3. 3

   Assemble the Burger

   Once the patties are cooked to your liking, place them on the bottom half of a burger bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, cheese (if using), ketchup, and mustard. Place the other half of the bun on top.

4. 4

   Serve

   Serve immediately while hot with your choice of sides.
