These juicy homemade beef burgers are packed with savory flavors and made with simple pantry ingredients that take classic ground beef patties to the next level. A blend of black pepper, onion powder, beef bouillon, low-sodium soy sauce, and grated Parmesan cheese gives each burger rich, beefy depth, while egg helps bind the patties for a tender, satisfying bite.

Form your patties gently — overworking the meat is the fastest route to tough burgers. Use your thumb to create a small dimple in the center of each patty to prevent doming during cooking. And remember: let those burgers rest for a few minutes after cooking so the juices redistribute beautifully.

Pile them high with melty cheese, crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and your favorite sauce on a toasted brioche bun, and prepare for some serious dinner-table applause.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 1/4 pounds of 80% ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 2 cloves garlic minced through a press (or 2 teaspoons of garlic granules)
  • 1 teaspoon beef bouillon

Instructions

  1. Combine all the ingredients together and gently mix it all together until the egg and all the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the ground meat.
  2. Depending on how thick you want your burgers, divide the meat mixture into four to six equal portions. If using a standard 4 inch sized burger bun, a 1/3 pound burger would yield six patties. (See notes below if making a larger batch of burgers.)
  3. Shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch wider in diameter than the size of your burger bun and make a small indent in the center of your patty so it’s slightly concave. The patty will shrink as it cooks so the size of the cooked patty will line up with the edges of your burger bun. The meat patty also tends to expand thicker in the middle as it cooks, so the indent you make on the patty before you cook it will help keep the thickness of the patty even from the center to the edge.
  4. Fry or grill each burger about 3 1/2 to 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare to medium burgers.
