How to Make World's Best Burgers

  1. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend recommended) with 1 cup crushed Ritz crackers.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce.
  3. Add the dry ingredient mixture to the ground beef and gently mix with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Using a 1/2 cup ice cream scoop, portion the beef mixture into 6 equal scoops. Place 2 scoops on top of each other on a baking sheet, forming 3 larger patties.
  5. Gently shape each stack of scoops into a 1/2 inch thick patty. Repeat with remaining beef mixture.
  6. Cover the patties and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and prevent shrinkage during grilling.
  7. While the patties chill, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 8 oz sliced mushrooms and 1/2 cup sliced onions. Cook until softened and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
  8. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness, or to your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  9. Serve the burgers immediately on toasted buns. Top with the sauteed mushrooms and onions, your favorite cheese, and any other desired toppings.
