Ingredients:
Ground beef (80% lean)
Salt and pepper
Burger buns
Lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles
Cheese (optional)
Condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo)
Instructions:
Prepare the Patties: Shape the ground beef into even patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Press a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
Season: Generously season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper.
Cook: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness, or adjust time for your preferred level of doneness.
Add Cheese: If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover to melt.
Toast Buns: Lightly butter the burger buns and toast them on the grill or in a skillet until golden brown.
Assemble: Place the cooked patties on the bottom buns and top with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and your favorite condiments. Finish with the top bun.
Enjoy a burger that’s crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and bursting with flavor. Perfect for any meal, this recipe will make you the grill master of your dreams!
