About this recipe

Discover the ultimate beef burger that combines savory flavors with modern cooking techniques. Perfect for a quick dinner or a summer BBQ, these juicy patties will satisfy all burger lovers. With an enticing blend of ingredients, these burgers are not only delicious but also easy to make at home.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound 80/20 ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese
  • Lettuce leaves, tomato slices, and your choice of condiments

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, egg, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Mix gently until just combined; avoid overworking the meat.

  3. 3

    Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.

  4. 4

    Make a thumbprint in the center of each patty to prevent them from bulging during cooking.

  5. 5

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach the desired doneness.

  6. 6

    Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.

  7. 7

    Toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

  8. 8

    Assemble the burgers by placing the patties on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato, and preferred condiments. Serve immediately.

Chef's tip

For the best results, use freshly ground beef with an 80/20 fat ratio and handle the meat as little as possible to keep the burgers juicy.
