    After a long day at school or work have you ever just craved the perfect burger? If so, then your only options were to make the “perfect burger” or purchase the “perfect burger”. The risk with making your own burger is that it does not turn out the way that you imagined. Well, here you will find the way in which you can make the perfect burger time and time again. 

Perfection Varies Among Many:

    There are many different ways in which an individual may envision their very own “perfect burger” For instance some may like their burgers cooked rare while others may enjoy theirs well done. Others may like their’s with just cheese, and others may enjoy it many different condiments and extras. Since there is such differentiation among individuals and the way they enjoy their burgers then this means that the “perfect recipe” may not truly be the “perfect recipe”. So, feel free to add or subtract any ingredients, change the directions, and whatever else must be done so that you may create your very own “perfect burger”.

The Perfect Recipe:

     The “perfect recipe” is much more of a baseline to put you on the right track as you begin the journey of creating your “perfect burger”. 

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • Your choice of toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

  2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties that are about 1/2 inch thick.

  3. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. Don't press down on the burgers while cooking, as this will release the juices and dry out the meat.

  4. Toast the buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

  5. Assemble your burgers with your desired toppings and enjoy!
