Hamburger Recipe: Easy, Quick, Juicy & Ready in 20 Minutes
This is the best classic Hamburger Recipe that’s perfect for summer grilling! The patties are juicy, quick to grill, and packed with flavor.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon mustard yellow or Dijon
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup white onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 lb medium ground beef
Instructions
- Lightly oil the grill and preheat the BBQ to medium.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg, then add mustard, Worcestershire sauce, white onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well. Crumble in the beef and gently mix with your hands or a fork, if desired. Handle the meat as little as possible to keep it tender.
- Shape the mixture into patties that are ¾-inch thick. Use your thumb to make a shallow dent in the center of each patty. This will help stop them from puffing up while cooking.
- Put the burgers on the grill, close the lid, and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, turning once, until they are no longer pink inside. An instant-read thermometer should register 160°F for a fully cooked yet juicy burger.
- Avoid pressing the burgers with a spatula, pricking with a fork, or turning frequently to retain juices.
- Serve the burgers in warm, crusty buns. Add your favorite toppings like ketchup, garlic aioli, cheese, red onion, tomato, bacon, lettuce, or pickles.

Don’t have a grill? Make it on the stovetop or in the oven!
No problem! You can get the same crispy char on a cast-iron skillet. Just heat 1 tablespoon of neutral oil and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side depending on how done you like your burger.
I prefer the grill or stovetop so you can get a nice sear on the hamburger patty. But, you can certainly cook these in the oven if you like. Preheat your oven to 425°F and place the patties on a baking sheet. Cook for about 15 minutes or until they’re cooked through.
To Store: Once the hamburger patties have cooled, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I also store all the toppings separately to keep them fresh.
To Freeze: You can keep cooked patties in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. For uncooked patties, flash-freeze them on a baking sheet first before storing them.
To Reheat: Pop your burger patties in the skillet or the microwave for just a couple of minutes until they’re heated through.
