Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 4 pieces Hamburger buns
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices (optional)
- 8 slices Pickles (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Ketchup (optional)
- 2 teaspoons Mustard (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until the seasoning is evenly distributed, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Step 2
Divide the beef mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a thin patty, slightly larger than the size of the hamburger buns. Use your thumb to make a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during cooking.
Step 3
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a small amount of butter (about 1/2 tablespoon) to the pan and allow it to melt.
Step 4
Place the hamburger patties in the skillet, indent-side up, and cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side without moving them. Flip the patties and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until the beef is fully cooked to your desired doneness.
Step 5
If using cheese, place a slice of cheddar on each patty during the final minute of cooking. Cover the skillet loosely with a lid to help the cheese melt.
Step 6
While the patties are cooking, lightly butter the inside of each hamburger bun and toast them in a separate skillet or under a broiler until golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
To assemble, place a cooked beef patty on the bottom bun. Add optional toppings such as pickles, ketchup, and mustard as desired, then place the top bun on the patty.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as fries or a salad, and enjoy!
