Instructions

Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions (about 6 oz each). Gently form each into a patty roughly 3/4 inch thick, pressing a shallow dimple into the center of each with your thumb to prevent doming during cooking. Season both sides generously with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
