Easy Skillet Burgers
Easy skillet burgers are a delicious and simple meal made by cooking seasoned ground beef in a hot skillet until browned and juicy. Perfect for a quick camping dinner or lunch.
Ingredients
- 4 pounds lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup white onion finely diced
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 3 Tbsp hamburger seasoning
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Gather all of the ingredients.
- In a large bowl, combine lean beef and eggs.
- Add onion, breadcrumbs, and seasoning.
- Mix until well combined.
- Use a kitchen scale to weigh out 5 oz balls from the meat mixture.
- Form the balls into patties by hand or use a patty press.
- Layer patties between wax paper and store in the fridge, covered, until ready to use.
- Over medium-high heat, coat the skillet with 1 Tbsp olive oil or butter.
- Place patties in the skillet and cook for 7-9 minutes, flipping halfway, until the internal temperatures reach 160 degrees F.
Notes
- Try adding a pound of ground pork to the ground beef.
- Regular ground beef can be used in this recipe, however the fat content will obviously be higher than the lean ground beef we use.
- Homemade barbecue sauce can be substituted for Worcestershire sauce.
- Panko breadcrumbs are our favorite binding agent, but crushed crackers may be used instead.
- Add additional onion powder, garlic powder, seasoning salt, black pepper, or kosher salt to taste.
- Toast the hamburger buns before assembling your burgers. Spread a little butter on both the top and bottom bun. Place them face down on a hot skillet and allow them to toast for a few minutes.
- Turn this easy recipe into sliders by making smaller burgers if you wish or squash the patties in the cast-iron skillet to make easy smash burgers.
- Depending on the size of your burger patties, the cooking time will vary. Always use a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the burger patty to check the internal temperature. Or try this smoked burger recipe for deliciously cooked burgers every time!
