🤔Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400 degrees Fahrenheit).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well, but be careful not to overwork the meat. Overworking the meat can lead to tough burgers.
- Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties. Make sure the patties are slightly larger than the buns because they will shrink as they cook.
- Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare to medium doneness. If you prefer your burgers well-done, cook them for 5-6 minutes on each side.
- While the burgers are cooking, toast the buns on the grill. Place them on the grill, cut-side down, for about 1 minute or until lightly toasted.
- Once the burgers are done cooking, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making for a more juicy and flavorful burger.
- Assemble the burgers by placing the patties on the bottom buns and adding your desired toppings. Add the top bun and serve immediately.
👨🍳👨🍳Tips:
- Don't overwork the meat. This can lead to tough burgers.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the burgers reach a safe internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't press down on the burgers while they're cooking. This can cause the juices to escape, leading to dry burgers.
- Experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination. Some popular options include bacon, avocado, and caramelized onions.
