Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Form compact patties.
  3. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
