  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 pieces white sandwich bread, crusts removed and cut into ¼-in (6-mm) pieces
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 1½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Dry Ingredients

  • 2½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Main Protein

  • 3 lb (80 to 85%) lean ground beef
  • 3 scallions, white and green parts, very finely sliced (optional)

Additional

  • 8 hamburger buns
  • Oil for grilling grates

Instructions

  1. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to high heat to ensure strong searing capability for the burgers.
  2. Prepare Bread Mixture: In a large bowl, mash the bread pieces with milk using a fork until it forms a chunky paste, then add salt, pepper, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup, mixing well to evenly combine all flavors.
  3. Mix Beef and Scallions: Add the ground beef and sliced scallions to the bread mixture. Using your hands, break up the meat and mix everything thoroughly until a uniform mixture is achieved.
  4. Form Patties: Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into compact balls and then flatten to form approximately ¾-inch (2 cm) thick patties, about 4½ inches (12 cm) wide. Press a slight depression in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up during grilling.
  5. Oil Grill and Cook Patties: Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the patties onto the grill, cover, and cook until browned nicely on the first side, about 2 to 4 minutes.
  6. Flip and Continue Cooking: Flip the burgers over and grill for an additional few minutes until they reach your desired level of doneness.
  7. Toast Buns: Optional but recommended—toast the hamburger buns on the cooler side of the grill before serving for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Using lean ground beef (80 to 85%) ensures a juicy yet firm burger texture.
  • Forming a slight indentation in the patties is key to preventing bulging when grilled.
  • To check doneness, use a meat thermometer: 160°F (71°C) for medium-well.
  • Scallions add freshness but can be omitted if desired.
  • Make sure the grill grates are well oiled to avoid sticking.
  • Toast buns lightly for extra flavor and to prevent sogginess.
