How to Make Basic Hamburgers
- In a large bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder.
- Shape the mixture into 6 patties, each about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging during cooking.
- Preheat your grill or broiler. Grill or broil the patties 4 inches from the heat for 5-7 minutes per side for medium doneness, or to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Toast your favorite hamburger buns. Serve the juicy burgers on the toasted buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise.
