Ingredients
Method
- Prepare your fresh ingredients. Thinly slice the shallot, lettuce, and tomato.
- Prepare the ground meat. Place the meat in a large bowl. Add the egg, bread crumbs, Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Using your hands, mix until combined. Refrain from over-mixing.
- Make the patties. Divide the mixture into four equal parts. Roll into a loose meatball, then pat flat using the palm of your hand. Gently indent the center of the patty using your thumb. Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for ten minutes.
- Cook the patties. Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the burgers on the hot grill. Cook on one side for 5-6 minutes with the grill lid open. Flip the burgers only once. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until you reach your desired doneness. Turn off the heat. Add the cheese, then continue cooking for another 30 seconds.
- Let the burgers rest. Remove the burgers from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, turn the heat to low using a gas grill and place the burger buns face down on the grill. Cook for 1-2 minutes. If using a charcoal grill, you may only need 30 seconds for a lightly toasted bun.
- Sauté the shallot. Sauté the sliced shallot in a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat until translucent.
- Serve the burgers. Serve with sliced lettuce, tomato, shallot, and any other toppings you like. Enjoy!
