Basic Burger Patties

This is an adaptation of this recipe on Allrecipes. It's a good basic burger recipe! Makes 6 burger patties.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (I've left this out on occasion and everything was still fine!) 
• 1 small onion chopped or 1/2 large onion - anywhere between 1/4 to 1/2 cup (On occasion I'll also leave this out if I'm planning on putting red onion or grilled onion on top separately...)
• 1 egg (Some people recommend halving or omitting the egg entirely, we've always done it with)
• 1 Tbsp ketchup
• 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1/8 tsp garlic powder

PREPARATION:

1. Preheat grill or frying pan. 
2. In a large bowl, mix together cheese, onion, egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce and spices. Crumble in ground beef and mix together by hand.
3. Form into 6 patties and cook until well done.
