Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 hamburger buns
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, cheese, ketchup, mustard
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
- Once the burgers are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add your preferred toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, cheese, ketchup, and mustard.
- Cover the burgers with the top half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy!
