    Best Burger Recipe

    Ingredients:
    – 1 pound ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio works well)
    – 1 teaspoon salt
    – 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    – 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
    – 1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
    – Burger buns
    – Toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles, onions, condiments)

    Instructions:

    1. Prepare the Patties:
    2. In a bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings you want (like garlic and onion powder).
    3. Form the mixture into burger patties, making them about 3/4 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a slight indentation in the center of each patty; this helps them cook evenly and prevents puffing up.

    4. Cooking the Burgers on the Stovetop:

    5. Heat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Allow it to get hot.
    6. Once hot, add a little oil to the pan (just enough to coat the bottom).
    7. Place the patties in the pan. Don’t overcrowd; cook in batches if necessary.
    8. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side without pressing down on the patties.
    9. Flip them over and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, add a slice of cheese at this stage if you want it melted.
    10. Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer (160°F for medium, 165°F for well-done).

    11. Assemble Your Burger:

    12. Toast your burger buns in the same pan for added flavor.
    13. Place the cooked patty on the bottom bun and add your desired toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, etc.).
    14. Spread condiments on the top bun and place it on top to finish.

    Tips:

    • If you like your burgers well-done, consider cooking them a little longer.
    • Let the burgers rest for a couple of minutes after cooking to keep them juicy.
    • You can experiment with different seasonings or toppings based on your taste preferences!

    Enjoy your delicious homemade burger!
