Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- Toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, mayo, ketchup, etc.)
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, onions, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
- Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape into patties of desired size. Press the center slightly to create an indentation to prevent the burger from bulging during cooking.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill or pan with oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the patties on the grill or pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness or until desired level of doneness is reached. Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juices.
- While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
- Once cooked, transfer the patties to a platter and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
- Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a toasted bun. Add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, mayo, ketchup, etc.
- Serve the Inwood Hamburgers immediately and enjoy!
