How to Make Best In A Small Town Burgers

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend recommended), 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, and 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce.
  2. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing. Form into 6 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Preheat your charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium, or longer for desired doneness. For extra crispy edges, sear them for an additional minute on each side at higher heat towards the end.
  4. Top each burger with 1-2 slices of extra sharp white cheddar cheese during the last minute of grilling, allowing it to melt.
  5. Serve immediately on toasted onion buns with your favorite toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, etc.).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
