How do you cook hamburger?

Stovetop method:

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

2. Add the ground beef and break it up with a wooden spoon.

3. Cook until the beef is browned on all sides.

4. Drain any excess fat.

5. Add your seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, etc.).

_Tips:_

- Do not overcook. The ground beef will become tough.

- Do not crowd the skillet. This will prevent the beef from cooking evenly.

Oven Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Place the ground beef on the prepared baking sheet and use your hands to form it into a thin layer.

4. Season the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.

_Tips:_

- For a crispier bake, broil the beef for the final 5 minutes of cooking.

- To reduce splatter, place a piece of foil or a splatter screen over the baking sheet.
