Introduction
Who doesn’t love a good burger? Whether you’re having a backyard barbecue or just craving something delicious, making your own beef burgers is surprisingly easy and rewarding. And the best part? You can customize them to your heart’s content! In this recipe, we’ll show you how to make juicy, flavorful burgers that will have your taste buds dancing.
Ingredients
For this recipe, you’ll need:
1 pound ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
4 hamburger buns
Optional toppings: cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayo
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix well with your hands or a spoon until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. 2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up while cooking. 3. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. If you’re grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the patties for the same amount of time. 4. While the patties are cooking, prepare your buns and toppings. Toast the buns if desired and slice any vegetables you’ll be using. 5. Once the patties are done, remove them from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute and make the burgers even juicier. 6. Assemble your burgers by placing a patty on the bottom bun and topping it with your desired toppings. Add the top bun and serve immediately.

Tips and Variations
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure your burgers are fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 160°F. - For a more flavorful burger, add some chopped herbs or spices to the beef mixture. Cumin, paprika, and chili powder are great options. - If you’re not a fan of beef, try using ground turkey, chicken, or pork instead. - Experiment with different toppings to find your favorite combination. Avocado, bacon, and fried eggs are all delicious additions. - If you’re making burgers for a crowd, double or triple the recipe as needed. The patties can also be made ahead of time and frozen for later use.
