Dana's Burger Recipe

Mix Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Form Patties

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing while cooking.

Preheat Grill or Skillet

Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook Patties

Place the patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. If using cheese, add it on top of the patties during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Prepare Buns

Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly golden.

Layer Ingredients

On the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, followed by a patty, a slice of tomato, and pickles if desired. Add ketchup and mustard to taste, then top with the other half of the bun.
