This is the best burger recipe and it’s super simple and crazy delicious. Easy to make and frugal. I’m also going to share my tips on how to make your beef patties “THE BEST”. Your family will ask for more! Try my Crispy Baked Potato Wedges and Pan-roasted Broccoli as side dishes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb 80/20 or 85/15 ground beef, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup of homemade dry onion soup mix
  • 1 tsp olive oil, liquid smoke, or Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • 1 Tbsp butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and dry seasoning. Add optional ingredients, if using, and mix together with your hands until well combined.
  2. Divide the ground beef into either 3 or 4 equal pieces and form each piece into a patty.
  3. Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet to medium heat.
  4. Place each patty on the grill or skillet and let it cook undisturbed for 4 minutes. Carefully flip just once and let the burger cook on the other side for another 3-5 minutes, or until the burger has reached desired doneness.
  5. Remove to a plate and allow to sit undisturbed for 5 minutes. This lets the juices redistribute among the burger.

Notes

You can use a stand mixer to mix the ingredients, but take care to not over mix. This will result in a tough and chewy burger.
