Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- If desired, add grated onion and chopped parsley for extra moisture and flavor. Gently mix until combined but avoid overworking the meat.
Step 2: Shape the Patties
- Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions (about 5-6 ounces each).
- Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into a round patty about ΒΎ-inch thick.
- Press a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.
Step 3: Cook the Patties
- For Grilling: Preheat the grill to medium-high. Spray with non-stick spray and grill patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness.
- For Pan-Searing: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each patty for 3-4 minutes per side until browned.
- For Air Frying: Preheat the air fryer to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Cook patties for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
Step 4: Assemble and Serve
- Toast brioche buns lightly on the grill or in a skillet.
- Layer with lettuce, tomato, sliced onion, and cheese. Add condiments of choice.
- Serve hot with sides like fries, salad, or sweet potato mash.
Notes
- Meat Fat Ratio: An 80/20 beef blend is recommended for juiciness. Leaner blends may require an extra egg or grated onion for moisture.
- Cheese Stuffing: If stuffing patties with cheese, ensure theyβre sealed tightly to prevent leaks.
- Cooking Temperature: Use a meat thermometer for accuracyβ160Β°F (71Β°C) for medium doneness.
- Freezing: Raw patties can be frozen for up to 3 months. Layer them with parchment paper in an airtight container.
