Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 - 2 lbs ground beef (80% lean 20% fat)
- 1 1/4 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- pinch black pepper (up to 1 tsp depending on preference)
- 2 tsp seasoning salt
- 4 sesame seed hamburger buns
- cheese (optional topping)
- lettuce (optional topping)
- tomato (optional topping)
- onion (optional topping)
- ketchup (optional topping)
- mustard (optional topping)
- pickles (optional topping)
Instructions
- Start by adding the ground beef into a large bowl. Add the Worcestershire sauce, seasoning salt, garlic powder, and black pepper and then mix with your hands until just combined, making sure not to over-mix. Divide the ground beef mixture into fourths and form into patties that between 3/4 of an inch to 1 inch thick. Use your thumb to make an indentation in the middle of each patty.
- Time to cook. Place the burgers on a medium-high grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they’ve reached desired temperature. If you want to make cheeseburgers, place the slices of cheese on each patty 1-2 minutes before they’re taken off the grill so the cheese can melt. Place the patties on hamburger buns and top with optional toppings.
