Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 0.25 cup Cola
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 Burger buns
• 4 Slices of cheddar cheese (optional)
• 4 Lettuce leaves
• 4 Tomato slices
• 0 to taste Ketchup (optional)
• 0 to taste Mayonnaise (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cola, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the burgers tough.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form each portion into a patty about ½ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing up during cooking.

Step 3

Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill or pan to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (for medium, aim for an internal temperature of 160°F/71°C). If using cheese, place one slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover to let it melt.

Step 5

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or under a broiler for about 1-2 minutes until golden.

Step 6

Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked patty, a slice of tomato, and your choice of condiments such as ketchup or mayonnaise. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 7

Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a crisp salad. Enjoy your Cola Burgers!
