Ingredients
  • 500 g Ground beef
  • 4 Burger buns
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • To taste Toppings (lettuce, tomato, cheese, ketchup, mustard, etc.)

Preparing the Patties

In a bowl, gently combine the ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough burgers.

Shaping the Patties

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging during cooking.

Cooking the Burgers

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the burgers are cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Toasting the Buns (Optional)

While the burgers are cooking, you can lightly toast the burger buns in a toaster or in a dry skillet for added texture.

Assembling the Burgers

Place the cooked burger patties on the bottom buns. Add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, cheese, ketchup, and mustard. Top with the remaining buns and serve immediately.
