Step-by-Step Instructions for Classic Hamburger
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef, 1 tablespoon of grated onion, and 3 dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Gently mix the ingredients until just combined.
- Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty, roughly ¾-inch thick. Make a ½-inch indent in the center of each patty.
- Cover the formed patties and place them in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
- Preheat your grill or stovetop pan over medium heat. Sprinkle the chilled patties generously with salt and black pepper.
- Once the grill or pan is hot, place the patties on the surface. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes per side until an internal temperature of 160°F is reached.
- Transfer the patties to a plate and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Toast hamburger buns lightly, then place each rested patty on a bun and add your favorite toppings.

Notes
Refrigerate patties before cooking to help them maintain shape. Don't overmix to ensure tenderness. Check internal temperature for safety.
