Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Ground beef
- 1 pound (80/20 for juiciness)
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Hamburger buns
- 4, toasted

- Onion

Instructions
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
- In a bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Gently mix and form into 4 equal patties, making a small indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing.
- Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (medium-rare to medium is recommended for juiciness).
- While the patties are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
- Place a cooked patty on the bottom half of each toasted bun.
- Top each patty with a crisp lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and a slice of onion.
- Spread mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup on the top half of each bun, then place on top of the burger.
