1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Mix everything with your hands until the ingredients are well combined.
2. Divide the mixture into desired size portions for the burgers and shape each portion into a ball. Then, flatten each ball into a burger shape. You can make them any size you prefer.
3. Heat a large skillet or grill over medium-high heat and add a little oil to prevent the burgers from sticking.
4. Cook the burgers for approximately 4-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the burgers and how you like them cooked (rare, medium rare, well done).
5. During the last few minutes of cooking, if you want to add cheese to the burgers, place a slice of cheese on top of each burger and let it melt.
6. While the burgers are cooking, you can lightly toast the burger buns in the skillet or in a toaster.
7. Once the burgers are cooked to your liking, remove them from the heat.
8. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on the bottom half of each burger bun. Then, add your favorite additional ingredients, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, bacon, sauces, etc.
9. Cover with the other half of the bread and that’s it! Serve your homemade burgers accompanied by fries, salad or other accompaniments of your choice.
Although homemade burgers have many advantages, it is important to note that they require time and effort to prepare properly.
From shaping the burgers to cooking them to the right temperature, there are several steps you need to follow to achieve the desired result.
However, the process can be very fun and rewarding for those who like to cook and experiment in the kitchen. So go ahead and enjoy your homemade burgers!
