Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • spatula
  • Grill
  • Wax Paper

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef (I used 85/15 beef)
  • 1 egg beaten
  • ¾ cup bread crumbs
  • 3 Tablespoons evaporated milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • dash of cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients. Mix together using your hands until ingredients are barely combined (be sure to not overmix because then the hamburgers will become dense).
  • Form the mixture into 8 patties. Be sure to make them a little larger than the patties that you plan to use because ground beef shrinks when it cooks.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  • Lightly oil the grill grate and place patties on top of grill.
  • Grill patties until no longer pink on the inside or until they reach desired doneness (I usually grill mine for about 5 minutes on each side).
  • Place cooked burger on a hamburger bun and top with favorite toppings.
