Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 mix)
• 0.25 cup bread crumbs
• 2 tbsp milk
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs and milk. Stir well and let the mixture sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the bread crumbs to soak up the milk. This will help provide extra moisture to the burgers.

Step 2

Add the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Using your hands, gently mix the ingredients together until everything is evenly incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the burgers tough.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil if using a skillet. Once hot, place the patties on the cooking surface.

Step 5

Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on the first side, without pressing them down. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the other side, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness, or adjust cooking time for your preferred doneness.

Step 6

Remove the patties from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the burgers tender and moist.

Step 7

Serve the hamburgers on buns with your choice of toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, cheese, and condiments.
