Ingredients
Scale

- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until combined.
- Shape the mixture into four equal patties, about three-quarters of an inch thick, pressing slightly in the center to prevent puffing during cooking.
- Grill or cook patties for approximately 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare (internal temperature should reach 160°F). Ensure they release easily from the grill before flipping.
- Optional: Add cheese during the last minute of cooking to melt beautifully on top of the patty.
- Serve on buns with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, and pickles.
