Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
• 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces hamburger buns
• 4 pieces cheese slices (optional)
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 4 pieces tomato slices
• 0 as desired ketchup
• 0 as desired mustard
• 0 as desired pickles

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix until evenly combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

Step 2

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4-inch thick. Create a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the cooking surface with a small amount of oil if necessary.

Step 4

Place the patties on the skillet or grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for well-done burgers.

Step 5

If using cheese, place a slice on each patty during the last minute of cooking and cover the skillet or grill to melt the cheese.

Step 6

While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a hamburger patty. Add a slice of tomato and any other desired toppings such as pickles, ketchup, or mustard. Cover with the top bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Mom's Hamburgers!
