Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 hamburger buns
- Optional toppings: cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Mix the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can toughen the burgers.
- Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, making them slightly larger than the buns, as they will shrink during cooking.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a stovetop, preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Grill the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. If using a stovetop, cook for the same amount of time in the skillet or grill pan.
- During the last minute of cooking, top each patty with a slice of cheese, if desired, and allow it to melt.
- Remove the burgers from the grill or skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for a minute or two, until lightly toasted.
- Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a bun. Add your preferred toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise.
- Serve the not-your-average hamburgers immediately and enjoy!
