  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 large egg

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 pound ground beef

1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
  2. Whisk egg, salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl.
  3. Add ground beef and bread crumbs; mix with your hands or a fork until well blended.
  4. Form into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
  5. Place patties on the preheated grill. Cover and cook 6 to 8 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
  6. Serve hot and enjoy!
