Main Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 egg
- 3 Tbsp BBQ sauce
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- ½ tsp pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, egg, BBQ sauce, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a wooden spoon to mix everything thoroughly ensuring an even distribution of all ingredients.
- Form Patties: Divide the meat mixture into three equal portions. Gently shape each portion into a round, flat patty, being careful not to compress the meat too much to keep the burgers tender.
- Grill Patties: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook until they reach your desired doneness, typically about 4-5 minutes per side for medium. Remove from the grill and let them rest briefly before serving.
Notes
- For best results, let the patties come to room temperature before grilling.
- You can add toppings like cheese, lettuce, tomato, or onion for extra flavor.
- If you prefer, cook the patties in a skillet on the stovetop as an alternative to grilling.
- Adjust seasoning to your taste, more BBQ sauce can be added for a stronger smoky flavor.
