Ingredients
- 1 large egg

- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound ground beef 85% lean
- ¼ cup fine breadcrumbs

Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add the ground beef and breadcrumbs, and use your hands to mix until combined.
- Gently shape the mixture into 4 patties, about ¾ inch in thickness. Use your thumb to press down in the center of each patty to create an indent.
- Refrigerate the patties for 20-30 minutes to help keep their shape.
- Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium heat and oil the grates or pan. Cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side until they reach the desired doneness.
- Allow the burgers to rest for a few minutes, then serve with your favorite condiments.

Notes
- Nutrition facts is for 1 beef hamburger and does not include bun, toppings or side.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3 days in the fridge.
- Freezing Instructions: Freeze uncooked patties on a baking sheet, then place them all together in a ziplock bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight before cooking
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
- Please note the video includes Dijon mustard, but this updated recipe now includes Worcestershire sauce for a slightly more savory flavor. Dijon mustard still works really well for this recipe.
- Instead of breadcrumbs, you can use all-purpose flour.
- To make it gluten-free, you can use quick oats, almond flour or panko breadcrumbs.
