Juicy Seasoned Beef Patties (Print Version)

Perfectly seasoned beef patties grilled to juicy perfection, topped with fresh vegetables and served on toasted buns.

# What You'll Need:

→ For the Beef Patties

01 - 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
02 - 1 tsp salt
03 - 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
04 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
05 - 1/2 tsp onion powder
06 - 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

→ For Assembling

07 - 4 hamburger buns
08 - 4 slices cheddar cheese (optional)
09 - 1 large tomato, sliced
10 - 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
11 - 4 lettuce leaves
12 - 4 slices dill pickle
13 - Ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard (to taste)

# How To Make It:

01 - In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
02 - Divide mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
03 - Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
04 - Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side for medium doneness, flipping once. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover to melt.
05 - Lightly toast buns on the grill or skillet for 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
06 - Place lettuce on the bottom bun, add the cooked patty, then layer with tomato, onion, pickles, and desired condiments. Cover with the top bun.
07 - Serve hot with your favorite sides such as fries, coleslaw, or salad.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • The 80/20 beef blend gives you that restaurant style juiciness you cannot fake with lean meat
  • Everything comes together in 25 minutes but tastes like you put way more thought into it
02 -
  • The center divot in your patty is not optional, it is the difference between a flat burger and a meat dome that slides right out of your bun
  • Let your cooked patties rest for about 2 minutes before assembling, this keeps all those juices inside instead of running down your arm
03 -
  • Never press down on your patties with the spatula while they cook, you are basically squeezing out all the flavor and making the grill flare up
  • If your buns seem especially thick, scoop out a little bread from the top half to create a better bun to patty ratio
