Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375F.
In a large bowl, combine the beef, pork, chopped onion, bell pepper, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and egg. Lightly combine the ingredients being careful not to compact the mixture too much.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Form the meat mixture into four patties and place them 2-3 inches apart on the baking sheet.
In a small bowl, combine the ketchup and mustard. Spoon evenly over the four patties.
Bake at 375 for approximately 20 minutes or until done through (155-160F on a meat thermometer).
Spread each toasted bun with mayonnaise. Place one burger on each toasted bun. Top with onion, lettuce, and tomato as desired.
Notes
Ingredients:
I use a mix of 80-20 ground beef with ground pork for texture and moisture. You can use all beef if you prefer.
Use either homemade breadcrumbs from leftover bread or purchased.
Tips:
I like to chop the onions and bell peppers pretty finely. It’s just nicer when you don’t get a huge mouthful of onion or pepper.
Many supermarkets sell a “meatloaf mix” that is typically one part beef, one part pork, and one part veal. You can absolutely use that in this recipe.
Variations:
Cook the burgers on an outdoor grill for an even bigger boost of flavor!
Can be cooked on the stovetop in a heavy cast iron skillet. Be sure to have the skillet nice and hot when you add them.
Use your favorite toppings – we often add onion, lettuce, and pickles.
