Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices (optional)
- 4 burger buns
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 sliced tomato
- 1 sliced red onion
- to taste ketchup
- to taste mustard
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, large egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the patties on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, or until you see juices pooling on the surface.
Flip the burgers and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. If adding cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and close the lid to melt the cheese.
Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Toast the burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes, until lightly browned.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a patty, a slice of tomato, a few rings of red onion, and any additional toppings like ketchup and mustard. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your high protein classic grilled burger!
