With this Perfect Hamburger Patty Recipe, you can make burger patties that are juicy and full of flavor, perfect for any event. When you're grilling outside or cooking inside, these patties will make you crave a burger.

Ingredients: 1 lb ground beef 80% lean, 20% fat. Salt and pepper to taste. 4 hamburger buns. 4 slices of cheese optional. Lettuce leaves. Sliced tomatoes. Sliced onions. Pickles. Ketchup and mustard.

Instructions: Preheat your grill or stovetop pan to medium-high heat. Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions, about 1/4 pound each. Gently shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Be careful not to overwork the meat; you want a loose texture for a juicy patty. Season both sides of each patty generously with salt and pepper. Place the patties on the grill or pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare to medium doneness. Adjust the cooking time to your preference. If you're adding cheese, place a slice on each patty about a minute before they're done cooking and cover the grill or pan to allow the cheese to melt. While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster. Assemble your burgers by placing lettuce, tomato slices, and onion on the bottom bun. Add the cooked patty with or without cheese on top. Top with pickles and condiments like ketchup and mustard. Place the top bun on your burger, and it's ready to serve!
