This classic hamburger recipe is simple, juicy, and packed with flavor. A touch of grated onion and Worcestershire sauce adds the perfect savory kick. Cooked to perfection and served on a toasted bun, it’s a delicious homemade burger everyone will love!
This hamburger recipe is simple perfection with only 4 ingredients-no fillers needed. Homemade hamburger patties don’t need much, just seasoning and a hot grill or skillet.
I save breadcrumbs for meatloaf and let the flavor in this recipe come from the beef instead!
