Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 lean-to-fat ratio)
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 4–6 cheese slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, bread crumbs, and egg. Mix gently and thoroughly with your hands or a spoon, being careful not to overwork the meat to avoid tough burgers.
  2. Form the Patties: Divide the meat mixture evenly into 4 to 6 portions depending on desired size. Shape each portion into thick, even patties. If adding cheese inside, place a cube of cheese in the center of each patty before sealing; if topping with cheese slices, prepare to add later.
  3. Arrange and Bake: Place the patties on a lightly greased rimmed baking sheet or baking dish to catch drippings. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and juices run clear.
  4. Optional Cheese Topping: During the last 5 minutes of baking, add cheese slices on top of the patties to melt perfectly over the hot burgers.
  5. Rest and Serve: Remove patties from oven and let rest on a plate for a few minutes. This allows juices to redistribute, ensuring juicy, flavorful bites.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the meat to keep the patties tender and juicy.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure burgers are safely cooked without overbaking.
  • Rest patties before serving to retain juices and improve texture.
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet or casserole dish to catch drippings and facilitate even cooking.
  • Customize seasonings with herbs and spices for a personalized flavor.
