Cooking Guide:
- In a large bowl, combine ground meat, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined. Don’t overwork the meat!
- Form the mixture into 4 evenly sized patties, each about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
- Preheat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom.
- Place the patties on the hot pan/grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare burgers, or longer for desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature (160°F for medium-rare).
- While the patties cook, toast the buns on the grill or in a skillet for a few seconds until lightly browned.
- Place the cooked patty on the bottom bun, then add your favorite toppings. Top with the other half of the bun and enjoy!
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ground meat for the best flavor.
- Don’t press down on the patties while they cook, as this will squeeze out the juices and make them dry.
- Let the cooked patties rest for a few minutes before assembling the burgers. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Experiment with different toppings and sauces to create your perfect burger.
- For a healthier option, try using lean ground turkey or a veggie burger patty.
