Instructions

Grill and Shape Patties

Start by heating your grill to high. In a bowl, combine the ground beef with Worcestershire sauce, chopped basil, garlic salt, and a bit of pepper. Mix everything gently, then shape the mixture into four patties. Give the grill grate a light coating of oil to keep the burgers from sticking. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 6 minutes, flipping them once halfway through. Aim for an internal temperature of 160°F, or cook them to whatever doneness you prefer. Once they're ready, pop the burgers onto your favorite buns and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

Serve these with crispy fries or a fresh green salad to balance the rich flavors. Adding sliced tomatoes and a spread of garlic mayo can enhance the taste even more. They also work great with a side of grilled vegetables.

Storage Tips

Store any leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave to avoid drying out the meat. For longer storage, freeze the cooked patties wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap.
