skillet hamburgers fried hamburger

Ingredients :

2 lbs. 80/20 ground beef

1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce

1 ½ teaspoons fine kosher salt

1 teaspoon onion powder

¾ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

6 hamburger buns , toasted

tomatoes

lettuce

pickles

raw red onions

condiments , like ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise and bbq sauce

fried onions or caramelized onions

sliced cheese

Directions

Line a baking sheet with wax paper, and set aside.

Place the ground beef in a large bowl. Pour the Worcestershire sauce onto the meat.

In a small bowl, combine the salt, onion powder, garlic powder and black pepper. Stir until combined.

Pour the seasonings on top of the beef.

Using clean hands, break the beef into smaller pieces and gently toss together. Do not knead, as this will create tougher burgers.

Divide your meat into six portions, and form the patties with your hands or a burger press. (Mine were 1/3 lb. each and about 1 ½” thick.) Place the patties onto the prepared baking sheet.

Using a finger or a spoon, create a well in the top of each burger. This will prevent the burger from shrinking up and bloating in the middle.

Place the burgers in the fridge while you warm your skillet.

Place a cast iron or heavy bottomed skillet over medium-high heat on the stovetop, and heat until screaming hot.

Cook the burger patties for 3-4 minutes per side, flipping only once and not pressing down with the spatula. (If you press down, your burgers will lose moisture.)

Use a meat thermometer to take the burgers’ temperature. When the burgers is within 5-10 degrees of your desired temperature, remove from the skillet. Place it on a plate, cover with foil and let rest for 10-15 minutes.

Serve on a bun with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
