Servings 8 burger patties
Ingredients
- 2 lb ground beef 80-85% lean
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 ½ tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 egg
- 3 garlic cloves minced
Instructions
Making Burger Patties-
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, minced garlic, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Mix thoroughly with your hands until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
- Using your hands or a patty press, flatten each ball into a round patty about 4 inches wide — slightly larger than your buns, as they will shrink during cooking.
- Place the patties on the prepared parchment paper and repeat until all 8 are formed.
Stovetop Burgers-
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Once heated, add a light drizzle of oil to coat the bottom of the skillet. Add the burger patties to the skillet, leaving space in between each patty.
- Cook on medium high heat for about 5-6 minutes, until brown. Flip and cook finish cooking until desired doneness. (For medium well, the internal temperature will be 155°F.)
- Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes, as you prepare the rest of the burger. (If you want cheeseburgers, add the sliced cheese on the burger.)
- Assemble your burgers with your favorite buns, toppings, and sauces. Serve and enjoy!
Grilled Burgers-
- Preheat the grill to medium high heat (it should be around 375-400°F). As it preheats, use a grill brush to clean the grates.
- Once the grill is ready, carefully add the burger patties onto the grill and reduce the heat to medium and close the lid, allowing them to cook.
- Grill the patties for about 5-6 minutes per side, flipping once halfway through. Cook until the patties reach the desired doneness. (For medium well, the internal temperature will be 155°F.)
- Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for 2–3 minutes. (Add cheese if you want cheeseburgers.)
- Assemble your burgers with buns, toppings, and sauces of your choice. Serve and enjoy!
