Chop the bell pepper and onions. Optionally, you can cook them with the hamburgers or separately.

Season the ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, parsley flakes, salt, sazon, and black pepper.

Add whole milk and a large egg to the seasoned ground beef to tenderize and bind the ingredients.

Mix the ground beef mixture with your hands, being careful not to over-handle it to avoid tough burgers.

Form the beef mixture into patties, making a dimple in the center of each to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.

In a separate pan, sauté the chopped bell pepper and onions until they are golden brown, ensuring the peppers retain their vibrant color.

Set the sautéed vegetables aside once cooked.

Cook the patties in the same pan, ensuring they are browned on both sides.

Once the patties are cooked, transfer them to the same pan as the sautéed vegetables to let the flavors meld.
