Ingredients
For the patties
- 1 lb ground beef 80/20 recommended
- ¾ packet onion soup mix
- 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 hamburger buns lightly buttered
For toppings (all toppings optional)
- 1 tomato sliced
- 1 small onion sliced
- 2 large red lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Keeping the ground beef cold, gently mix it with ¾ packet onion soup mix and the Worcestershire sauce. Do not overwork.
- Divide into two equal patties. Form them slightly wider than the buns and make a broad, shallow indentation in the center of each. Refrigerate until ready to grill.
- Prepare the grill for medium-high direct heat with a cooler zone. Preheat, scrape, and lightly oil the cooking grate.
- Place the patties over direct heat. Cook without pressing for approximately 4–5 minutes, until browned and ready to release. Flip once and continue cooking, moving to indirect heat if necessary.
- Use a thermometer inserted through the side tocheck that the center reaches 160°F (71°C). During the final minute, add twoslices of cheddar to each burger. Toast the buttered buns over gentler heat.
- Rest the burgers briefly, then assemble on thebuns with lettuce, tomato, onion, and preferred condiments. Serve immediately.
