Servings: 4 Burgers
Calories: 524kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp celery seeds
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
Horseradish Ketchup
- ⅓ cup ketchup
- 3 tsp prepared horseradish extra hot or creamy
Toppings
- 4 slices pepper jack cheese or other sliced cheese
- 4 burger buns
- 1 medium tomato sliced
- lettuce
- pickles
Instructions
- Preheat grill or grill pan.
- In a medium bowl add the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, celery seeds, kosher salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix lightly just until combined. Form into 4 equal round patties.
- Grill burgers to desired doneness, flipping halfway through. Top with pepper jack cheese and cover for 1 minute, until melted. Remove.
- Toast hamburger buns for about 1 minute.
- Assemble burgers by spreading horseradish ketchup on the toasted burger buns, top with grilled burgers, and your favorite toppings. Serve immediately.
Make a thumbprint. Press a small indent in the center of each patty before it hits the grill. This prevents the burger from puffing up in the middle and keeps it flat for even cooking.
Notes
Tips for Storing
- Cooked patties keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to bring back some of that crust.
- Freeze uncooked patties by stacking them between sheets of parchment paper in a zip-top freezer bag. They'll keep for up to 3 months.
- Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before grilling. Cooking from frozen leads to uneven doneness and a steamed exterior instead of a seared one.
- Store toppings separately. Keep the tomatoes, lettuce, and horseradish ketchup separate from the cooked patties so nothing gets soggy during storage.
- Assembled burgers do not store well. Build them fresh every time for the best texture and flavor.
