Ingredients

  • 2 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 3 pounds ground beef, 80-85% lean
  • 3 scallions, optional, finely sliced
  • olive oil, to taste, for oiling the grill grates
  • 8 slices cheese, optional, of your choice
  • 8 hamburger buns, for serving
  • condiments, optional, of your choice, to taste

Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the grill to high heat.

Step 2 -In a large bowl, mash the bread and the milk with a fork until it forms a chunky paste.

Step 3 -Add the salt, the pepper, the garlic, the Worcestershire, and the ketchup to the bread mixture-milk mixture and mix well.

Step 4 -Add the ground beef and the scallions to the bread mixture.

Step 5 -Use your hands to break up the meat and evenly combine all the ingredients.

Step 6 -Using your hands, divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions and form compact balls.

Step 7 -Flatten the balls into 3/4-inch-thick patties, about 4 1/2-inches across.

Step 8 -Form a slight depression in the center of each patty to prevent the burgers from puffing up on the grill.

Step 9 -Using the oil, grease the grill grates.

Step 10 -Grill the burgers, covered, until nicely browned on the first side, about 2-4 minutes.

Step 11 -Flip the burgers and evenly add the slices of the cheese. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted and the desired doneness is reached, 135 degrees for medium-rare.

Step 12 -Toast the buns on the cooler side of the grill.

Step 13 -Place the 8 burgers on the 8 buns and top with your favorite condiments.

Step 14 -Serve.
