Report
Our go-to hamburger recipe for years and the best old fashioned burger recipe. My husband skips the breadcrumbs and egg. I include them. Both are delicious!
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced or grated
- 1 large egg optional
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs optional
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 4 hamburger buns, split
TOPPINGS
- ketchup or yellow mustard
- Onion Ketchup
- bacon aioli
- sweet pickle relish
- Honey Mustard Mayo
- cheese
- tomato, lettuce, onion
Instructions
- In a large bowl beat egg (if using). Add bread crumbs (if using), garlic powder, onion, mustard, salt, Worcestershire sauce, pepper and beef.
- Mix until just incorporated.
- Shape into four ¾ inch thick patties. Refrigerate covered in plastic wrap until ready to cook.
Grill
- Place burger patties on a preheated grill, on medium-high. Cook for about 5 minutes per side or until no longer pink inside.
Fried
- Fry in a preheated pan on medium. Cook for about 5 minutes per side or until no longer pink inside.
Baking
- Bake the burgers on 375 degrees for about 15 minutes, flipping at about the 8 minute mark or half way through cooking.
Build Your Burger
- Place on hamburger buns and add your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use beef with an 80/20 ratio of beef to fat to make burgers. It makes the juiciest and most flavorful burgers.
- Make sure your burgers are all shaped about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Resist the urge to press down on your burgers while cooking as it only releases the juices and dries out the meat.
- Create a small indent in the center with your knuckle about a half inch deep to keep the burgers from shrinking as much and keep them flat.
- Do not over mix your burger mixture as it creates harder or denser burgers.
- Form your patties slightly wider than your buns to compensate for some burger shrinkage.
- Store your beef and patties in the fridge until just before cooking to help retain the fat and flavor, making for a better burger.
- Always allow burger to rest for a couple of minutes before eating to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a delicious, juicy bite.
- Choose soft, yet sturdy or crusty buns that can hold all the toppings without falling apart.
