Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 pounds (lbs) / 907 grams ground beef
Binding Ingredients:
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, amalgamate ground beef with finely diced onions, crushed garlic, breadcrumbs, whisked eggs, tangy ketchup, robust Worcestershire sauce, and seasoning.
- Gently fold and knead the mixture until ingredients are harmoniously integrated, avoiding excessive compression.
- Craft robust, uniform patties with consistent thickness to promote even heat distribution and balanced cooking.
- Heat a grill or heavy-bottomed skillet to medium-high temperature, approximately 375-400°F.
- Position patties onto heated surface, allowing them to sear and develop a rich, caramelized exterior.
- Cook each side for 4-5 minutes, rotating once, until internal temperature reaches 160°F for safe consumption.
- Allow patties to rest momentarily after cooking, enabling juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Transfer to serving plates and complement with preferred condiments, fresh lettuce, tomato slices, and toasted buns.
Notes
- Opt for lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and achieve a healthier burger without compromising flavor.
- Avoid overmixing the meat to prevent tough, dense patties that can become dry and less enjoyable.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F for safe consumption, guaranteeing perfectly cooked burgers every time.
- Experiment with alternative protein options like ground turkey or plant-based alternatives for those seeking different dietary choices or lighter meal options.
