Homemade Hamburgers
Description
This homemade hamburgers recipe blends ground beef with an egg, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, onion and garlic powders, and seasoned with salt and black pepper. Fine breadcrumbs help bind the mixture, which is shaped into four evenly thick patties with a small indent in the center to promote even cooking. Refrigerating the patties before cooking helps them hold their shape on the grill or grill pan. Cooking over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side yields a well-cooked burger. Resting the burgers after grilling ensures juicy texture. The recipe advises on storing leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days and freezing uncooked patties, with tips on thawing safely. It also notes possible ingredient substitutions, like different binding agents to accommodate dietary preferences, and mentions that Worcestershire sauce replaces Dijon mustard for a more savory profile.
Ingredients
- 1 egg large
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 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 breadcrumbs fine
- Fries for serving
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
- Leftover cooked burgers should be stored airtight and consumed within 3 days for best quality.
- Freeze uncooked patties on a baking sheet before bagging; thaw overnight in the fridge prior to cooking.
- Worcestershire sauce offers a savory flavor; Dijon mustard is an acceptable alternative.
- Breadcrumbs can be substituted with all-purpose flour, quick oats, almond flour, or panko to suit dietary needs.
