Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs (optional for binding)
- 1 large egg (optional for binding)
- 4 pieces brioche burger buns
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 slices sliced cheese (optional, for topping)
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces sliced tomato
- 4 rings sliced red onion
- 0.25 cup ketchup
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 8 pieces pickle slices
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
If desired, add breadcrumbs and an egg for binding. Mix thoroughly without overworking the meat.
Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about ¾-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb to prevent puffing during cooking.
Heat a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil to the skillet, or lightly oil the grill grates if grilling.
Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. Adjust the cooking time to suit your desired level of doneness.
During the last minute of cooking, if using cheese, place a slice on each patty and cover with a lid to melt the cheese.
Toast the brioche buns in a separate skillet or on the grill for about 1 minute, until lightly golden.
Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by the cooked burger patty. Add toppings such as tomato slices, red onion rings, pickles, ketchup, mayonnaise, or any other condiments of choice.
Finish with the top bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your well-seasoned burgers!
