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

Directions
- 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.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1-inch thick.

- Meanwhile, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill for a few seconds.
