Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 hamburger buns
• Optional burger toppings: lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles, mayo, mustard

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, raisins, breadcrumbs, onion, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. Using your hands, mix the ingredients until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as it can make the burgers tough.
3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
4. Preheat a grill or stovetop griddle over medium heat. If using a grill, make sure it is well oiled to prevent sticking.
5. Cook the burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare burgers, cook them to an internal temperature of 145°F. For medium burgers, cook them to 160°F.
6. While the burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or stovetop griddle until lightly browned.
7. Remove the burgers from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a juicy burger.
8. Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a toasted bun, and add your desired toppings such as lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles, mayo, and mustard.
9. Serve the La Mama Raisin Burgers immediately and enjoy!
