Burger

 

Making a burger is a simple and satisfying way to enjoy a classic American meal. Here is a basic recipe for making burgers at home:

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio is best)

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 hamburger buns

Toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, cheese, ketchup, mayo, etc.)

Instructions:

Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions.

Form each portion into a patty that is about 1/2 inch thick.

Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper.

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.

Place the patties on the skillet or griddle and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them more well-done.

While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns.

Once the burgers are cooked to your liking, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes.

Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom bun, then adding your desired toppings.

Serve and enjoy!

You can also experiment with different types of meat, such as turkey, chicken, or lamb, or add in different seasonings and spices to give your burgers a unique flavor.

Additionally, you can make a homemade sauce with ketchup, mayo, mustard, and relish, or use the traditional toppings like pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese.
