Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 0.25 cup Cola
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Slices of cheddar cheese (optional)
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 4 Tomato slices
- to taste Ketchup (optional)
- to taste Mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cola, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form each portion into a patty about ½ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing up during cooking.
Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill or pan to prevent sticking.
Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (for medium, aim for an internal temperature of 160°F/71°C). If using cheese, place one slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover to let it melt.
While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns on the grill or under a broiler for about 1-2 minutes until golden.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a cooked patty, a slice of tomato, and your choice of condiments such as ketchup or mayonnaise. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as fries or a crisp salad. Enjoy your Cola Burgers!
