1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon hot sauce (recommended: Frank's Red Hot)

  • Season the meat well. Use a variety of spices to flavor the meat, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Shape the burgers into patties. Make the patties about 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches in diameter.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help prevent the burgers from sticking to the pan and will ensure that they are cooked evenly.
  • Don't flip the burgers too often. Flip the burgers only once, after they have cooked for about 3 minutes per side.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the burgers for doneness. The burgers are done when they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the burgers rest before serving. Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and will make the burgers more flavorful.
