Let’s Make It!
- Start by grabbing a pound of fresh ground beef for about four burgers.
- Divide the beef into four equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a round ball, then flatten it into a patty. Remember to make a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent ballooning during cooking.
- Preheat your grill or frying pan to a medium-high temperature.
- Season the patties with salt and pepper, or your favorite burger seasoning.
- Place your patties on the grill or pan, being sure to place the indented side up.
- Cook the patties for about 4 minutes on each side for a medium-rare burger, flipping only once.
- While the patties are cooking, prepare your preferred toppings – lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, cheese, etc.
- Get your buns ready – you can toast them if you prefer.
- Once your patties are cooked to your preferred doneness, place them on your buns.
- Add your toppings, don’t forget the mustard, mayo, ketchup, or whatever tickles your taste buds.
- Now, press the top bun onto your masterpiece.
- There we go, your delicious homemade hamburger is ready to serve and enjoy!
