Goji Burger

    Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds 80% lean 20% fat ground beef or ground chuck
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Optional: 4 slices of cheese
  • 4 hamburger buns
  • Optional: hamburger toppings -
    lettuce tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.

    Instruction

  • Preheat the grill to 375 degrees F (medium-high).
  • In a large bowl, add the beef. Sprinkle evenly with the Worcestershire sauce,
    seasoning salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
    Use your hands to mix the ingredients
    until they are just combined.
  • Divide the meat mixture into fourths. Take 1/4 of the meat mixture and use your
    hands to press it into the shape of a hamburger patty that is about 3/4 inch thick.
    Make an indention in the middle of the patty to prevent bulging in the center of the
    hamburger as it cooks. Repeat with the remaining meat mixture, making 4 hamburgers.
  • Place the burgers on the grill. Cook 4-5 minutes on the first side.
    Flip the burgers.
    over and cook an additional 4-5 minutes,
    until the burgers have reached the desired doneness.*
  • TIf adding cheese, lay a slice of cheese on each burger patty about 1 minute before
    taking the burgers off the grill, so the cheese has a chance to melt.
    Add a little pasta water if it needs to be thinned out.
  • Serve the burgers on hamburger buns with optional hamburger toppings.

    Notes

  • I usually cook for 4 minutes on each side for medium-well burgers.
