Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 lbs 85% lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup light beer
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • You want to portion out your ground beef for the amount of burgers you want to make. If making six 1/4 pound burgers, you’ll need 1-1/2 pounds of ground beef. Place it in a large glass or stainless steel mixing bowl.
  • finely chop up a medium size yellow onion and mince 2 cloves of fresh garlic. 
  • Add the onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, light beer and salt and pepper to the ground beef.
  • Mix all the ingredients together by hand. Mixing by using your hands is the most efficient way to thoroughly mix ground meat and ingredients like these.
  • Adjust your burger press to 1/4 lb setting and tightly press the burger ground beef into the mold. It’s important to tightly press the ground beef so the burgers hold together well during grilling and flipping.
  • Pre-heat grill to high. Make sure the grates are clean, and sprayed with non-stick grilling spray for easy cooking.
  • Once grill is heated add the burger patties, and cook until they are no longer pink in the middle (160 degrees F.)
  • Place it into your favorite bun (we used bulky whole wheat buns) and top with your favorite toppings.
