Description
Discover the best homemade beef burger recipe that is juicy and flavorful.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to gently mix the ingredients until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. Adjust cooking time according to your preferred doneness.
- If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
- Remove the burgers from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, mix in your favorite herbs or spices, such as smoked paprika or Worcestershire sauce, into the beef mixture.
- Serve the burgers on toasted buns with your choice of toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, and condiments for a classic burger experience.
