Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 pound ground beef 80/20 blend for juiciness
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder adds depth of flavor
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder enhances sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon salt important for seasoning

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Gather all your ingredients and equipment to make the process smoother.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties.
  4. Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
  6. Check for an internal temperature of 160°F for medium doneness.
  7. During the last minute of cooking, place the buns cut-side down on the grill or skillet until lightly toasted.
  8. Layer your cooked patties on the toasted buns and add your favorite toppings.

Notes

Let the patties rest for a couple of minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
