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!
