Instructions
- 1
Gather the ingredients.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, egg, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- 3
Divide the mixture into four pieces. If desired, use a kitchen scale to weigh the mixture and divide evenly.
- 4
Form each piece into a ball, then press lightly with your thumb in the center of each to make a dimple in the center of the patty.
- 5
Heat a countertop grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375 F). Grill the burgers until they are cooked through, about 6 minutes each side. The safe cooking temperature to reach for any ground meat is 160 F.
- 6
If desired, top the burgers with cheese. Melt the cheese by either covering the grill pan briefly with a lid or transferring the burgers to a sheet pan and placing them under the broiler for a few minutes. Remove the burgers from the grill pan or oven and keep warm.
- 7
Place the buns cut-side down on the surface of the hot grill, pressing lightly to let buns soak up any juices. Toast the buns until golden.
- 8
Serve the burgers on the buns with your choice of condiments, such as ketchup , mustard, pickles, sliced tomatoes, onions, or lettuce.
