Ingredients
1
pound ground beef
1/4
teaspoon salt
1/8
teaspoon pepper
4
hamburger buns
Your favorite toppings (ketchup, mustard, tomatoes, lettuce, dill pickle slices)
Preparation
Put the ground beef, salt and pepper in the bowl. Stir with the fork until mixed.
Shape the beef mixture with your hands into 4 burgers. (They should be about 3/4 inch thick. Use the ruler to measure, if you like.)
Put the burgers in the skillet. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Flip burgers over, using the pancake turner. Cook for about 5 minutes longer or until burgers are no longer pink in the middle. (To check if burgers are cooked, cut into the middle of a burger with the knife.)
Split each hamburger bun in half to make a top and a bottom. If you like, toast buns in oven (see note below). Put the burgers on the bottoms of the buns. Add your favorite toppings. Cover with the tops of the buns.
