Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20 for best juiciness)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 4 slices cheddar cheese (optional)
- 4 brioche or sesame seed hamburger buns
- Lettuce, tomato, red onion, and avocado for toppings
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: In a large mixing bowl, gently combine ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Do not overmix to keep the patties tender.
- Form the Patties: Divide the beef into 4 equal portions and shape into patties, pressing a small indentation in the center to prevent puffing.
- Cook the Patties:
- Grill Method: Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side, flipping once. Add cheese in the last minute if using.
- Stovetop Method: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, adding cheese towards the end.
- Toast the Buns: While the patties cook, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a pan.
- Assemble the Burgers: Place lettuce on the bottom bun, followed by the cooked patty, tomato slices, red onion, and avocado. Top with the bun and serve immediately.
Notes
- 80/20 ground beef ensures juicy, flavorful patties.
- Avoid overmixing the meat to keep the burgers tender.
- Pressing an indentation in the center helps the patties cook evenly.
- Brioche buns add a slightly sweet contrast to the savory burger.
- Add crispy bacon for an extra indulgent twist!
