Instructions

Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet to medium-high heat.
2
In a large mixing bowl, take the ground beef and gently shape it into 6 equal-sized patties, being careful not to overwork the meat to keep them tender.

In a small bowl, mix together garlic or garlic salt, onion salt, salt, and pepper to create a seasoning blend.

Sprinkle the seasoning evenly over both sides of each patty to ensure they are well-flavored.
