Nutrition Facts: calories 577 kcal, Carbohydrate 1 g, Protein 39 g, Fat 45 g, Saturated Fat 17 g, Cholesterol 161 mg, Sodium 733 mg, Fiber 1 g, Sugar 1 g, servingSize 1 serving

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs ground beef ((wagyu or 80/20 blend))
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper

Instruction:

1. Add ground beef to a large mixing bowl. Break it up gently with hands or a spoon. Add the salt and pepper to the ground beef. Mix the ground beef and seasonings until integrated.
2. Separate the burger meat into four 8-ounce patties. Form a ball, then flatten the burgers into disc shapes, a little bigger than the burger buns they’ll go on. Push down the center of the burgers, if desired, to make a 2-3” indent. Add an additional sprinkle of salt and pepper to the outside of the burgers, if desired.

The Classic Burger

Sink your teeth into a delicious restaurant-style, hamburger recipe made from lean beef. Skip the prepackaged patties and take the extra time to craft up your own, and that little extra effort will be worth it. To make cheeseburgers, about 1 minute before burgers are done, top with sliced cheese; continue cooking until cheese begins to melt.

• ¼ cup fine dried bread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire
• 1 or 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
• About 1/2 teaspoon salt
• About 1/4 teaspoon pepper
