Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet on low-medium heat.
Hamburger Ingredients
Place meat, onions, spices, liquid smoke and Worcestershire sauce in a medium bowl. Mix until well combined.
8 ounce ground beef, ⅛ cup white onion, ¼ teaspoon ground mustard, ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon seasoned salt, 1 teaspoon liquid smoke, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Separate mixture into two equal amounts and roll each into a ball. Each ball should weigh about ¼ pounds.
Lay each ball between two pieces of parchment paper and flatten into circle patties.
Remove patties from parchment paper and place in hot skillet. Preheating skillet will give a nice crust on the burgers, but don't let it get too hot, or the meat will burn.
Cook for 7-8 minutes on each side for a well-done interior.
Remove from pan and let rest on a plate or cutting board while you grill the buns.
Toppings
Melt ½ tablespoon of butter in skillet or saucepan on medium heat. Place hamburger bun in pan and toast until it reaches desired brownness.
2 hamburger buns, 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Repeat with the second bun.
Place condiments, toppings and hamburger patty on the bun. Feel free to add a couple of olives as garnish if you'd like.
Enjoy! Happy Eating!
