Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef, or a combination of beef, pork and veal
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 6 slices bacon, cut into thirds crosswise
- Burger buns and trimmings like pickles, tomato, lettuce and mayonnaise, if desired.
Directions
-
Preheat broiler. Position oven rack 4 inches from heat. In a small bowl, mix together ketchup, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. In a separate medium bowl, mix together the meat, onion, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix in half the ketchup mixture, reserving other half as a glaze.
-
Form meat mixture into six equal patties, about 1 1/4 inches thick. Transfer patties to a baking sheet. Brush each patty with glaze.
-
For rare burgers, broil for 1 minute, then add bacon slices to tops of patties and continue broiling until bacon is browned and meat is cooked as desired, about 4 minutes longer. For medium, add bacon after 2 minutes of broiling, and for well-done, after 3 minutes. Serve with buns and trimmings if desired.
