    Over 15 best burger recipes for your summer cookout including classic beef hamburgers, chicken and turkey burgers, salmon burgers, veggie burgers, and more! One of our favorite burger recipes are these Classic Hamburgers.


    Ingredients

    For the hamburger patties:

    • 1 pound lean ground beef
    • ¼ cup Panko breadcrumbs
    • ¼ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
    • 1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
    • 2 tablespoons pickle juice (or cold water)
    • ½ tablespoon garlic powder
    • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil or cooking spray oil

    For assembling the burgers:

    • 4 hamburger buns, sliced
    • ¼ cup mayonnaise, divided
    • 4 pieces of lettuce
    • 4 slices tomato, ¼-inch thick
    • ½ cup red onions, sliced
    • ½ cup pickles, sliced
    • ¼ cup ketchup

    Instructions

    Prepare the hamburger patties:

    1. In a large mixing bowl, add ground beef, breadcrumbs, cheddar cheese, parsley, pickle juice, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce (optional), and salt and pepper. Stir well with a spatula to combine everything together (or use your hands to press the ingredients together to evenly combine).
    2. Shape the ground beef mixture into a firm ball. This helps the beef mixture bind together to yield firm patties. Cover the bowl with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
    3. Transfer the ground beef mixture onto a large piece of parchment paper. Flatten the ground beef with your hands into a square that is ½-inch thick (approximately an 8x8-inch square). You can also roll it out with a rolling pin.
    4. Use a 4-inch wide circular mold (or the rim of a round bowl) to cut out 4 hamburger patties (¼ pound each). Add the scraps evenly amongst the 4 patties.

    Grill the hamburger patties:

    1. Brush oil over the grill pan and heat pan over medium-high heat for 3 minutes until the oil starts to sizzle and shimmer. Place patties spaced apart on the grill and cook for 5 minutes on each side until the internal temperature for the patties reaches 160 F. It takes about 10 minutes total.

    Assemble the hamburgers:

    1. Slice the hamburgers and toast the slices on the grill, if desired.
    2. On each hamburger bun, spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise onto the bottom half of the bun. Top with a piece of lettuce and a grilled hamburger patty. Top the patty with 1 slice of tomato, 2 or 3 slices onions and sliced pickles. Add a tablespoon ketchup on the top half of the bun. Place the top half of the bun on top to assemble the hamburger.
    3. Serve with a side of crispy french fries.
