Ingredients:

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 pound of ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat)

• 1 egg

• 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs

• 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce

• 1/2 teaspoon of salt

• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper

• 4 hamburger buns

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. If using a grill, brush the grates with oil to prevent sticking.
2. Cook the burgers for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. If using a skillet, cook the burgers in batches if necessary.
3. Once the burgers are cooked, remove them from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes.
4. While the burgers are resting, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in the skillet until they are lightly browned.
5. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on each bun and adding your desired toppings. Serve with ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise on the side.

Serving Suggestions:

Burgers are a versatile dish that can be served in many different ways. Some popular toppings include lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, bacon, and avocado. You can also serve the burgers with a side of fries, coleslaw, or potato salad.
