Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend)
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs (preferably plain)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup onion (grated or finely minced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking, if pan-frying)
• 4 burger buns
• 0 optional your favorite burger toppings (lettuce, tomato, cheese, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard, kosher salt, black pepper, grated onion, and minced garlic.

Step 2

Using clean hands, gently mix the ingredients together until evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties dense.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ¾-inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb. This helps prevent the patties from puffing up during cooking.

Step 4

If grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (or an internal temperature of 160°F for well-done).

Step 5

If pan-frying: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your preferred doneness.

Step 6

Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a dry skillet until lightly golden, if desired.

Step 7

Assemble your burgers by placing the cooked patties onto the buns and adding your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles, ketchup, or mayonnaise.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy!
