Ingredients
- 2 pieces white sandwich bread crusts removed and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2-1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1-1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 3 pounds ground beef
- 3 scallions finely sliced (optional)
- 8-10 hamburger buns
Directions
- In a large bowl, mash the bread and milk together with a fork until it forms a chunky paste. Add the salt, pepper, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and ketchup and mix well. Add the ground beef and scallions. Gently mix everything together until just combined. Do not overmix. Divide the mixture into eight to ten equal portions and form loose balls. Gently flatten the balls into 3/4-inch patties about 4-1/2 inches around. Form a slight depression in the center of each patty with the underside of a spoon. Grease the grill with non-flammable cooking spray. Grill the burgers, covered, until nicely browned on the first side, 2-4 minutes. Flip burgers and continue cooking for a few minutes.
