Hamburger Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef (choose 80/20 blend for that perfect juicy bite)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 soft hamburger buns
- Optional toppings galore: crisp lettuce, fresh tomato slices, crunchy onion, tangy pickles, melting cheese, ketchup, mustard, and creamy mayonnaise
Hamburger Recipe Instructions:
Getting the Beef Ready:
- In a big bowl, toss in the ground beef.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder for that flavor kick.
- Mixing it Up:
- Dive in with your hands and gently mix those spices into the beef. Remember, loving hands do it best but don’t overdo it – we’re not making meatloaf here!
- Patty Time:
- Split that seasoned beef into four even chunks.
- Mold each one into a nice, round patty. Flatten them to about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Give the middle a little thumb press to keep them from ballooning up on the grill.
- Heat Things Up:
- Grilling? Fire it up to medium-high.
- Skillet? Get it hot on medium-high on your stove.
- Cooking the Stars:
- Lay those patties on the heat.
- Let them sizzle for 4-5 minutes each side for that perfect medium. Or cook to your heart’s desire.
- Cheese lover? Toss a slice on each patty when they’re almost done. Cover to melt it down to ooey-gooey perfection.
- Bun Time:
- Slice those buns and give them a quick toast on the grill or skillet. Aim for golden, not charred.
- Build it Up:
- Start with a patty on the bun base.
- Layer up with all your favorite toppings. Let creativity be your guide.
- Cap it with the bun top.
- Serve with Love:
- Serve those beauties hot and watch them disappear. Enjoy every juicy, flavorful bite!
