Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds ground beef
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 burger buns
  • Optional toppings: cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, mustard

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onions, bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1-inch thick.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for medium doneness.
  4. Optional: During the last couple of minutes of cooking, add a slice of cheese on top of each patty and allow it to melt.
  5. Meanwhile, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for a few seconds.
  6. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mustard. Finish with the top half of the bun.
  7. Serve the burgers immediately and enjoy!
