How to Make 4 Ingredient Hamburger Dinner In 4 Easy Steps

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Stir in 1 teaspoon seasoned salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 cup of your favorite chopped vegetables (onions, peppers, mushrooms work great!).
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and heated through.
  4. Serve immediately on hamburger buns, topped with your favorite condiments.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
