- Form the mixture into 4 patties. Season both sides of each patty with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat. Add the burgers and cook for 5 minutes, flip and cook for 3 more minutes or until cooked through. Alternatively, burgers can be cooked on the grill.
- Serve over a bed of lettuce or alongside sliced tomato. Add any additional toppings as desired. Enjoy!
