Ingredients

Units Scale

Ground Beef

  • 1 pound ground beef (preferably 80/20 blend)

Olives

  • 1/2 cup sliced green olives

Onion

  • 1/4 cup chopped onion

Garlic Powder

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and Pepper

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Buns

  • 4 burger buns

Cheese (optional)

  • 4 slices of Swiss or cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Burger Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onions, sliced olives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.
  2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Aim for about ½ inch thick for even cooking.
  3. Preheat the Grill or Skillet: Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a splash of oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook the Burgers: Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. If using cheese, add a slice during the last minute to melt.
  5. Toast the Buns: While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the buns on the grill or in a toaster for added texture.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Once cooked, place each patty on a bun and top with your favorite condiments and garnishes. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Choose Quality Meat: Opt for fresh, higher-fat ground beef for the juiciest burgers.
  • Chill the Patties: Refrigerate formed patties for 30 minutes before cooking to help them hold their shape.
  • Don’t Press the Patties: Avoid smashing the burgers while cooking; it releases juices.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: For perfect doneness, check the internal temperature—160°F for medium.
  • Let Rest: Allow the cooked burgers to rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in juices.
