Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80% lean)
• 0.25 cups Red Burgundy wine
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 whole Hamburger buns
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 slices Cheddar cheese slices (optional)
• 4 whole Lettuce leaves
• 4 slices Tomato slices
• 4 slices Pickles (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, Burgundy wine, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Gently mix the ingredients with your hands, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 3

Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties about 3/4 inch thick. Press a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up on the grill.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Grill the burger patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (160°F internal temperature for medium). If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of grilling and let it melt.

Step 6

While the burgers are grilling, spread butter on the insides of the hamburger buns and toast them on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden and slightly crispy.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by placing a grilled patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and pickles (if using). Cover with the top half of the bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite sides like fries, coleslaw, or potato salad.
