Hamburger Recipe
A juicy, flavorful classic hamburger made with seasoned ground beef and served with your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for best juiciness)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
- 4 hamburger buns
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, cheese, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties, slightly larger than the buns.
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil.
- Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness, flipping once.
- If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover to melt.
- Toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or pan for extra flavor.
- Assemble the burgers with your preferred toppings and serve immediately.
Notes
- Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain juiciness.
- For extra flavor, mix finely chopped onions or shredded cheese into the beef mixture.
- Let the cooked patties rest for a few minutes before serving to keep them juicy.
