Ingredients
  

For the Patty Mixture

  • 1/4 cup Crushed Saltine Crackers or Panko Breadcrumbs Gluten-free options work perfectly too
  • 1 large Egg Acts as a binder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce Enhances umami richness
  • 2 tablespoons Milk Adds moisture; non-dairy substitutes can be used
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Core seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder Core seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder Core seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Core seasoning

Equipment

  • Grill
  • cast-iron skillet
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, crushed Saltine crackers, egg, Worcestershire sauce, and milk. Sprinkle in salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions, shaping each into thicker patties about 3/4-inch thick. Make the patties slightly larger than the buns.
  3. Preheat your grill or skillet to medium heat (350-400°F). Ensure it’s hot enough to sear the patties.
  4. Place the patties on the grill or skillet, cooking thick patties for 3-4 minutes on each side. Flip only once or twice to maintain juiciness.
  5. Remove the patties from heat and let them rest for a minute before serving with your favorite toppings.
