Ingredients
2pcswhite sandwich bread,crusts removed and cut into ¼ inch pieces
⅓cupmilk
2½tspkosher salt
1tspfreshly ground black pepper
3clovesgarlic,minced
1½tbspworcestershire sauce
2tbspketchup
3lbslean ground beef
3scallions,very finely sliced, optional
8hamburger buns
Preparation
Preheat the grill to high heat.
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 and break the meat up with your hands. Mix everything together until just combined. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and form balls.
Flatten the balls into ¾-inch patties about 4½ inches across. Form a slight depression in the center of each patty to prevent the burgers from puffing up on the grill.
Oil the grilling grates. Grill the burgers for 2 to 4 minutes, covered, until nicely browned on the first side. Flip burgers and continue cooking for a few minutes more until desired doneness is reached.
Before serving, toast the buns on the cooler side of the grill if desired.
