1. Start this recipe by preheating the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. In the oven, go on to place a roasting rack on a foil-lined baking sheet.
2. Proceed to break the meat into small pieces with your hands and distribute evenly but loosely on a parchment or waxed paper-lined baking sheet.
3. You can then season the meat well with salt and pepper before spreading it out. At this point, if desired, you can add the spice blend.
4. Go ahead and cut the meat into four equal parts (about 6 ounces each). You may have to form each part into a ball with your hands by gently tossing it from one hand to the other. Make sure you don’t overwork the flesh or push too hard on it.
5. You may now preheat a big cast-iron skillet for 5 minutes. It would help if you increased the heat to high and drizzled in the oil.
6. Cook the patties until the patties are well-browned. Flipping once, you will have to cook it for about 2 minutes per side.
7. You should transfer the hamburgers to the roasting rack in the oven, and you may need to use a spatula.
8. Cook for another 8 to 9 minutes (for medium-rare), 10 to 11 minutes (for medium), and 13 to 15 minutes (for well-doneness).
9. If using cheese, top the hamburgers with it during the last few minutes of cooking to allow it to melt.
10. Then, place the hamburgers on a platter; you should let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
11. You can go and toast the hamburger buns in the meantime.
12. Then put together the hamburgers with your preferred condiments and toppings.
13. Serve and enjoy your dish.

Suppose you wonder what will make up for a good hamburger side dish. Seasoned French Fries or Spiced Sweet Potato Fries are excellent accompaniments to your hamburgers. Picnic staples like a Quick Macaroni Salad are also a great addition.
