Juicy Lean Burgers

Instructions

1 To make burger patties: in a large bowl combine beef, Worcestershire, garlic
powder, salt, and ground black pepper together with hands. Equally divide burger
mixture into 4 parts.
2 Take one of the quarters and flatten between your hands. Roll a bit to make the
edges less jagged if necessary. Press your thumb into the middle of the patty;
this ensures even cooking.
3 If cooking right away place them on a plate to the side. If you’re prepping
these for later, separate patties with parchment or wax paper and refrigerate.
4 Heat a skillet on high heat. Melt tbsp of butter and when hot, add the burgers
to the skillet.
5 Cook burgers for about 4 minutes, the juices will start to come through – once
they do, flip them over. Cook for another 3 minutes for medium rare. Add cheese
right after flipping if making cheeseburgers.
6 To make the mushrooms - crumble sliced mushrooms by breaking them apart. Add
them to a hot skillet, drizzle with oil or spray with cooking spray. Season with
salt and pepper. Sauté and stir for 5-8 minutes or until browned.
7 To make sauteed onion – add them to a hot skillet, drizzle with olive oil,
season with salt and pepper. Stirring frequently, cook until browned, about 5
minutes. If caramelizing, add a pinch of sugar.
