Ingredients

• 2 pounds Ground beef (80/20 blend preferred)
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
• 1 sheet Parchment paper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Using clean hands or a spatula, mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties dense.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a flat, round patty about 4 inches in diameter and 0.5 inches thick.

Step 4

Place the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch each other. If needed, layer the patties with additional sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Freeze the patties on the baking sheet for 1-2 hours, or until they are firm and no longer sticky to the touch.

Step 6

Once frozen, wrap each patty individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Then, store them in a freezer-safe, resealable bag or airtight container. Label with the date for tracking freshness.

Step 7

To cook from frozen, preheat a skillet or grill to medium-high heat. Spray the surface with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 8

Place the frozen patty on the skillet or grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption.

Step 9

Serve with your favorite buns, toppings, and condiments!
