One classic and beloved American recipe is for Hamburgers. Here's a simple recipe for making delicious homemade burgers

 

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat for juicier burgers)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 hamburger buns
• Toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Grill or Pan:

   • If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop pan, set it over medium-high heat.

2. Form the Patties:

   • Divide the ground beef into 4 equal portions.
   • Gently shape each portion into a patty, being careful not to overwork the meat.
   • Season each patty with salt and pepper on both sides.

3. Cook the Patties:

   • Place the patties on the grill or in the pan.
   • Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare burgers, or longer if you prefer your burgers more well-done.
   • If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty about a minute before they are done and cover to melt.

4. Toast the Buns:

   • While the burgers are cooking, cut the buns in half and toast them on the grill or in a toaster until they're lightly golden.

5. Assemble the Burgers:

   • Place each cooked patty on the bottom half of a bun.
   • Add your favorite toppings – lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, condiments, and any other toppings you love.
   • Top with the other half of the bun.
