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

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, onions, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
  2. 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.
  3. Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill or pan with oil to prevent sticking.
  4. 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.
  5. While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
  6. Once cooked, transfer the patties to a platter and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
  7. Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a toasted bun. Add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, mayo, ketchup, etc.
  8. Serve the Inwood Hamburgers immediately and enjoy!
