Equipment
- 1 grill or large cast iron skillet
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl add the 1 pound ground beef, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic, ½ teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground black pepper. Stir the mixture together to combine.
- Form the mixture into 4 to 5 even size hamburger patties. I prefer to do this by hand.
- Heat the grill to medium heat and add the burgers allowing them to cook 5 to 10 minutes on each side until desired doneness is achieved. This step can also be completed in a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat as well.
- Carefully remove the burgers from the hot grill or hot pan onto a serving plate, allowing them to rest while preparing your favorite toppings.
- Serve the burgers immediately between a bun, with your other favorite burger fixings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, slice of cheese, and condiments. Enjoy!

Notes
- Select ground beef with a 20% fat content for a flavorful and juicy hamburger.
- Try not to overcook the meat, once it browns and reaches your desired internal temperature using a meat thermometer you can remove the patty from the heat.
- Tightly form and flatten the patties, doing this will help them to stay together throughout the cooking process. Also forming the patties while the meat is still cold makes the process much easier.
- Flip the burgers as often as you want! This actually helps the burger to cook faster and more evenly. This really isn't a recipe to walk away from.
- Press a dimple into the center of each raw burger patty, this helps to prevent them from shrinking while cooking.
