Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, crushed pistachios, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
  2. Shape the mixture into patties, making sure they are compact but not overly pressed.
  3. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium heat. You want it hot enough to sear the burgers nicely.
Cooking
  1. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
  2. Once cooked, remove the patties and let them rest for a minute.
Assembly
  1. Assemble the burgers on toasted buns, adding lettuce, tomato, and any other toppings you like.
  2. Serve immediately and enjoy the unique flavor experience!

Notes

To elevate your cooking game, avoid overworking the beef mixture. Experiment with toppings and enjoy with sides like sweet potato fries or garden salad.
