Easy Recipe for Classic Beef Burger
Classic Beef Burger Recipe This recipe will give you juicy, flavorful burgers that are perfect for grilling or pan-frying. Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional) 4 hamburger buns Toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayo, cheese, etc.) Instructions: Gently shape the beef: In a large bowl, use your hands to gently mix the ground beef, salt, and pepper. Avoid overworking the meat, as this can make the burgers tough. Form the patties: Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty that is slightly larger in diameter than your hamburger bun. Make a shallow indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb. This will help prevent the burgers from puffing up in the middle while cooking.
