Best Hamburger Patty Recipe

the best juicy homemade hamburger patty recipe piled on a bun with all the fixing like lettuce, tomato and caramelized onions
  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  15 min
  • Cook Time:  35 min

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
  • 3 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons mustard powder
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, plus more for seasoning

For serving (optional)

  • Brioche or sesame hamburger buns, toasted
  • Mayonnaise
  • Yellow mustard
  • Ketchup
  • Burger sauce
  • Romaine lettuce leaves, torn into pieces
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Caramelized Onions
  • Sliced pickle

Method

  1. In a large bowl, combine the beef, garlic powder, Worcestershire, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well, then divide the mixture into 6 equal parts. Using your hands, form into ⅓ inch-thick patties. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Preheat the grill on high. Place the patties on the grill, then reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until you reach your desired doneness (see Note). Add the buns to the grill, if using, and cook until the buns are just toasted, 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Fill the buns with the patties. Serve topped with mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, caramelized onion, and pickles, if using. 

Notes

For beef, rare is 125°F; medium-rare is 135°F; medium is 145°F; medium- well is 150°F; and well is 160°F on an instant-read thermometer. Medium-rare is my preference, but feel free to cook your burger however you like it best!
