This is the simplest and best fresh ground beef burger for camping. Okay, okay, maybe not the simplest because you could just buy ground beef burgers or Bubbaburgers or plain ground beef. But this tiny bit of effort makes for a next-level burger, and it just takes a few extra minutes. And it is just 3 ingredients!
1 lbs ground beef for 4 burgers (or 6 sliders or 3 giant burgers)
1-2 tsp Worchestershire Sauce (Lea & Perrins is great)
1 tsp Seasoned Salt (Lawry‘s is awesome)
Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Amounts are not exact- it is quite fine to eyeball this! Mash it all together until it is well incorporated- I have found just using my hands is the easiest method.
Separate mixture into equal parts for each burger and roll into a ball.
At this point you can freeze or refrigerate the burgers ahead of time.
To cook on a griddle surface place each portion on oiled griddle and “smash” with spatula tool (this is the BEST and most fun way!). To cook on a grill surface you will want to press portions into a burger shape first. Cook to desired doneness flipping half way through and adding cheese with about a minute left.
These burgers are great with just about any cheese, but my absolute favorite combo is cheddar jack on a Hawaiian bun with BBQ sauce.
