Classic Homemade Burger

Ingredients:

• For the Patty:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 tsp onion powder (optional)
  • 
    
    
    
    

• For the Toppings:

  • 4 burger buns
  • 4 slices of cheddar cheese
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Tomato slices
  • Onion slices
  • Pickles
  • Ketchup, mustard, or your favorite sauces

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef Patties:

   • In a bowl, gently mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder if using.
   • Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. Press them slightly in the center to avoid bulging during cooking.

2. Cook the Patties:

   • Heat a grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on your desired doneness (3 minutes per side for medium-rare, 4 minutes per side for medium).
   • If you’re adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking, then cover with a lid to melt.

3. Toast the Buns:

   • While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns on the grill or in a separate pan until golden brown.

   • Place a lettuce leaf, then the patty with melted cheese, followed by tomato and onion slices.
   • Add pickles and any additional toppings you like.
   • Top with the other half of the bun.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Serve the burgers with fries or a side salad, and enjoy your homemade classic burger!
