Notes

No kitchen scale? Balls of the beef mixture should be about tennis sized before pressing into patties. Or divide the mixture into 12-14 equal sized balls.
Try adding a pound of ground pork to the ground beef.
Regular ground beef can be used in this recipe, however the fat content will obviously be higher than the lean ground beef I use.
Homemade barbecue sauce can be substituted for Worcestershire sauce.
Panko breadcrumbs are our favorite binding agent, but crushed crackers may be used instead.
Add additional onion powder, garlic powder, seasoning salt, black pepper, or kosher salt to taste.
Toast the hamburger buns before assembling your burgers. Spread a little butter on both the top and bottom bun. Place them face down on a hot skillet and allow them to toast for a few minutes.
Turn this easy recipe into sliders by making smaller burgers if you wish or squash the patties in the cast-iron skillet to make easy smash burgers.
Depending on the size of your burger patties, the cooking time will vary. Always use a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the burger patty to check the internal temperature.
Store any leftover burgers in an airtight container in the fridge.
Store uncooked burger patties in a single layer or between sheets of parchment paper. Check out this how to freeze hamburger patties post for more.
