Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80% lean)
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, paprika, and dried oregano. Mix gently until just combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4-6 equal portions and shape into patties about 3/4-inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb.
- Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time for preferred doneness.
- Let patties rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve on toasted buns with preferred toppings.
Notes

Resting the patties after cooking helps retain juices for a juicy burger.
