Garlic and Onion Burgers

Garlic and Onion Burgers

These garlic and onion burgers are the best! They’re so flavorful — the secret is refrigerating the meat after adding the other ingredients. Use ground round or sirloin for the best results.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • ½ cup minced onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1
Mix ground beef, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.

Step 2
When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove beef mixture from the refrigerator and form into six 1/2-inch-thick patties.

Step 3
Cook on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, about 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

    Good old fashioned hamburgers, nothing like the smell of them grilling. The secret is indeed in refrigerating long enough for the flavors to mingle and unify. DELICIOUS!

    • 24 years ago

    This was easy to put together. The flavor after grilling was excellent. Will use again

    • 24 years ago

    These burgers were a real hit with my adult friends. The kids could have done without the added flavors. Going to try it with ground turkey next.

    • 24 years ago

    Burgers weren’t bad, but it reminded me more of meatloaf.

    • 24 years ago

    very good burgers. friends really liked them.

    • 24 years ago

    A Real HIT around our house !

    • 24 years ago

    A new twist on a summertime favorite. By the end of the summer, hamburgers on the grill don’t seem special anymore. With this recipe, I can make that ‘specialness’ last longer.

    • 24 years ago

    According to my family, these burgers were “‘da bomb!” That is the ultimate compliment. I will use this recipe over and over again! Thanks

    • 24 years ago

    They were really good but I think I will leave out the Italian seasoning next. Love the garlic flavor

    • 24 years ago

    did this recipe with both ground turkey and beef. the turkey burgers had much more flavor,everybody wanted them instead of the beef

    • 23 years ago

    very good

    • 23 years ago

    Very tasty……….hubby just loved them….

    • 23 years ago

    These were really great burgers! I made them for our 4th of July cookout and everyone liked them. I will be making these again.

    • 23 years ago

    A great recipe that I have used with one small twist..try brushing on your favorite BBQ sauce shortly before pulling them off the grill!

    • 23 years ago

    These were good but it reminded me of a meatball or meatloaf. I trated them like a normal burger cheese,ketchup, lettuce tomato and onion. I will try them again but I think I will either top them with mozzerella an roasted red peppers or tomato sauce and mozzerella .

    • 23 years ago

    Huge hit with the family!! The garlic was great!! I used turkey instead of hamburg.. Still wonderful! A+

    • 22 years ago

    I really wanted to like this recipe, and I can see that it does appeal to many people. However, I found it to be quite unappealing. I wound up wasting a couple of pounds of ground round, because no one could finish his burger.

    • 22 years ago

    Excellent recipe I made it for BBQ using best steak mince. Will be using it again

    • 22 years ago

    my burgers ended up being very fragile when i shaped them. would try mixing in bread crumbs and shredded cheese with the onion and garlic, next time.

    • 22 years ago

    Wow what a great recipe! I used our George Foreman grill for this and just cooked them for 6 minutes…no need to flip (I love that indoor grill!). I like the fact that I had all the ingredients on hand and DH loved the flavor. I saw on previous reviews some said that this reminded them of meatloaf??? Well, to us it didn’t. This burger had good flavor and I’m glad we gave it a try! Thanks so much Jeff for posting…this will definately be a keeper in our house!

    • 22 years ago

    NOT BAD. I MIGHT TRY TO USE A LITTLE LESS GARLIC NEXT TIME. I DONT AGREE WITH A FEW OTHER REVIEWS ABOUT THE BURGERS TASTING LIKE MEATLOAF. IVE TRIED OTHER BURGERS RECIPES THAT ARE BETTER BUT THIS IS GOOD WHEN YOU WANT A LITTLE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

    • 21 years ago

    The flavors blended well and made for great burgers. My daughter, who is not big on beef, really enjoyed it.

    • 21 years ago

    This was great! I am always looking for ways to spice up hamburgers.

    • 21 years ago

    I am always looking for new ways to jazz up a burger on the grill. I served these on toasted onion buns and my whole family loved this one and it will be a keeper.

    • 21 years ago

    I made this for a family cookout last weekend and the burgers were a hit. My sister and her fiance don’t like onions, but they gobbled these down!

    • 21 years ago

    EXCELLENT. A flavorful change.

    • 21 years ago

    Great burger recipe. I let my hamburger meat marinate for a day and got rave reviews.

    • 21 years ago

    These burgers were delicious!!! I used garlic powder (California blend)instead of fresh. I look forward to making these again and again!! They didn’t taste like meatloaf to me like some of the reviews have mentioned! My whole family loved these, thanks for a great recipe!

    • 21 years ago

    This is such a handy recipe for after a day out. All ready to grill as soon as you return & yummy.

    • 20 years ago

    These are the best burger’s I have ever eaten. The whole family loved them, even my two little picky eaters.

    • 20 years ago

    Jeff-I have one word for you YUMMY!

    • 20 years ago

    This is the only way I will ever make hamburgers or meatballs again. I had leftover meat and made Italian meatsauce. This is very good. I let mine marinate overnight.

    • 20 years ago

    The best burgers ever!

    • 20 years ago

    I made these to go camping with. We did not enjoy them at all. Way too much worcestshire sauce flavour and strange after-taste. I will not make these again.

    • 20 years ago

    These turned out great! I served them with swiss cheese, grilled onions and mushrooms on top. I also added 1 teaspoon of Aleppo Pepper & 1 teaspoon seasoning salt. To help the patties stay together I used 1/2 cup of oatmeal and 1 egg.

    • 20 years ago

    I just used this recipe for a cookout last weekend and EVERYONE loved the burgers! Even people that weren’t eating one had someone close to them saying, “You have to try this!” I went a little lighter on the garlic and onion, but refrigerating before hand is a must!

    • 20 years ago

    Very good flavor!

    • 20 years ago

    GREAT!! What a fab burger! We loved them! Great taste! SO easy and fast to make!

    • 20 years ago

    Everyone liked these. It is nice to have something different then the plain old burger all the time. Will make again.

    • 20 years ago

    we liked the idea of this burger. We made them per instruction but they had way too much onion and the consistancy was like meatloaf. We’ll definately try it again but with less onion and something to add some ZING to the tatse…

    • 20 years ago

    We really weren’t thrilled with the Italian seasoning taste. I think I will try it again with less worcestershire, Cavender’s Greek seasoning, and add some green chili peppers.

    • 20 years ago

    We tried this recipe and LOVED it! I did not have any Italian Seasoning on hand, so I left it out. We are sure to make these burgers again…thanks!

    • 20 years ago

    Good burgers – a little on the dry side. I used cajun spice instead of the Italian seasoning. My husband said they were too garlicky (?). Will keep playing around with my burger mixture.

    • 20 years ago

    This was pretty good. I just thought it could us something a little extra. I wasn’t bad but, there was just something missing?

    • 20 years ago

    This is a great burger. Mix it up in a few minutes & throw it on a George Foreman – fabulous…

    • 20 years ago

    Terrific burgers. I made them for my roommates, and all of them said they were great, so much better than plain old hamburgers. I added an extra clove of garlic, and a little more couldn’t have hurt (my friends and I love garlic). I will definitely make them again in the near future.

    • 20 years ago

    THE BEST !!!!!!!!

    • 20 years ago

    My boyfriend is the pickiest eater ever and he loved them!!

    • 20 years ago

    Nice Flavor and very simple

    • 19 years ago

    This was a pretty good recipe. I thought the Italian Seasoning gave the burgers a little strong/overpowering taste. I’ll definitely make them again, but I’ll cut the seasoning down to 1/2 tsp.

    • 19 years ago

    This recipe is delicious, but my husband and I both like it better when we omit the Italian seasoning.

    • 19 years ago

    Really good burgers. We substituted buffalo meat, and added a little ketchup too. It was delicious!

    • 19 years ago

    Well, I am not a burger fan myself, but I made these for a BBQ this past weekend where all my guests raved about how fabulous the burgers were. Everyone who had a burger couldn’t stop talking about how flavorful they were. I even had one friend email me later saying “I absolutely have to have the recipe for those delicious burgers”. Thanks for the recipe, it was a hit at my BBQ!

    • 19 years ago

    I enjoyed the flavor of this burger very much. Simple yet so easy to please your guests with.

    • 19 years ago

    I melted cheese on these and served them on toasted buns ~ everyone adds their own condiments. The Boy didn’t like them as much as I did but he still gobbled 2 burgers. Thanks for the great recipe Jeff!

    • 19 years ago

    These were just ok. I think they are missing something. I topped the burgers with mozzarella cheese and roasted peppers. They did taste like a meatloaf or something of the sort. Won’t make these again.

    • 19 years ago

    We love these! I’ve made them as traditional burgers and I’ve also made this into a loosemeat recipe (brown the hamburger w/onion & garlic, add the other seasonings, add a cup or so of beef broth & simmer). I’ve tried the recipe as written and also w/the steak seasoning instead of Italian seasoning. Very nice mesh of flavors. The raw patties freeze up great, so I always make extras for quick dinners.

    • 19 years ago

    I made these over the summer and they were a HUGE hit! Everyone at my 4th of July barbeque was raving about them. Has to be the best burgers I’ve ever made. Since I was making them in the summer, I also added fresh basil from the garden.. That was amazing too!

    • 18 years ago

    These were great. Moist and didn’t fall apart! I did omit the extra salt for dietary reasons as W. sauce has so much, but otherwise followed as written. Everyone loved them! I believe mixing everything then refridgerating helps the flavor so much. Thanks for a keeper!

    • 18 years ago

    This recipe was great! I added a few tablespoons of oats, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. My dad said they were the best burgers he’s ever had…and he can be quite picky! 🙂

    • 18 years ago

    nothing to special. but a good base to work with. Putting it altogether and leaving in the fridge for a while did set the flavor some.

    • 18 years ago

    This is a great burger recipe to use if your flame grilling…instead of the italian seasoning blend, I used Montreal Steak Seasonings. Everyone at my picnic wanted to know the secret!

    • 18 years ago

    This was a very easy and good recipe. I didn’t have Italian seasoning so I used steak spice instead. A real good staple in any recipe collection!

    • 18 years ago

    A burger. Nothing more, nothing less.

    • 18 years ago

    We thought the Italian seasoning was overpowering. It was all we could taste and my husband was burping it up for hours. Next time we will leave it out so we can taste the yummy onion and garlic!

    • 18 years ago

    We used ground round for these. As I always say, you need a little fat in a burger to make it juicy. Added a bit of tabasco sauce. Really good stuff, and we thank you, Jeff!

    • 17 years ago

    These are so good! I changed the recipe a little by adding twice as much worcestershire and omiting the salt and Italian seasoning. They were moist and delicious but not too salty–perfect. In fact we are having them for dinner again tonight. Thanks, great recipe!

    • 17 years ago

    Great,easy burger. On the advise of reviews I used Montreal steak seasoning and the George Forman grill and came out fantastic. Keeper recipe.

    • 17 years ago

    I prepared these for the first time last night and everyone at the table raved on how good they were. This will be the recipe of choice for me. I have saved this in my favorites list!

    • 17 years ago

    What a wonderful burger! We made these exactly as the recipe states, grilling them outside on the BBQ. We brought them inside and placed them between 2 slices of buttered sourdough bread, topping each burger with provolone cheese. We then grilled them in a frying pan as you would when making grilled cheese sandwiches. DELICIOUS!

    • 17 years ago

    Made it tonight and it was delicious!

    • 17 years ago

    These were just okay. I added some bread crumbs because the mixture was a bit too wet. My husband and I both thought that the Italian seasoning was too strong and overpowering. Next time I will do as others suggested and replace it with steak seasoning. But the onions and garlic added great flavor.

    • 17 years ago

    This burger recipe was out of this world!! By FAR the best burger I ever had!

    • 17 years ago

    I made these for a family and friends cookout. Everyone loved them! The different flavor really gives a normal burger a wonderful and flavorful twist! I will make this again.

    • 17 years ago

    Thanks for sharing this recipe. My husband and I LOVED these burgers. We did this recipe to a “T” and they came out so delicious! We will definitely make these again….and again!

    • 17 years ago

    Great recipe! I was pleasantly surprised, because on the surface it seems all to simple. I did like some readers suggested, and replaced the italian seasoning with montreal steak seasoning, and it was great! The only thing I would say is if you do that, omit the salt, as the steak season has plenty. I didn’t, and it was still good, but on the verge of being to salty. Thanks!

    • 17 years ago

    Made these for a family cookout and everyone loved them. Even my dad who is a chef raved about them and asked for the recipe.

    • 17 years ago

    I made this with 90% lean beef and it came out really tasty. My husband and I liked that it just tasted like a really good burger, not a weird concoction of flavors. Using the low-fat beef, I did add a little bit of olive oil for moisture (I would have preferred chicken broth if I had it on hand!).

    • 17 years ago

    Excellent. The sun actually came out for a couple of hours last week so we got the barbecue out for the first time this summer and made these. I made them just as stated and can’t wait for the sun to make another appearance so I can make them again. Many Thanks.

    • 17 years ago

    This is our usual burger recipe, except with ground turkey instead. Sometimes we add liquid smoke flavoring when we use the forman grill or we add more Worcestershire or mix in other seasonings but any way we make them they are still delicious.

    • 17 years ago

    This was tasty! I did not have any onion so I used 1/2 tsp of onion powder and I followed other reviews and replaced the Italian seasoning with steak seasoning. I was going to make these last night for supper but hubby wanted chick fil a so I made these for lunch. SO GOOD! I only had cheese on top, I really did not need that. Thanks for sharing:)

    • 17 years ago

    We love this recipe! This is our standard hamburger now and have made it at least half a dozen times. I usually add a couple extra tablespoons of worcestershire though and double up on the garlic as we love the stuff!

    • 17 years ago

    I made this for a barbeque and it’s amazing how many people came up to me and said, “Wow! Those burgers are great!”. Made the recipe exactly as stated. It was great!

    • 17 years ago

    This is an awesome burger! Juicy and so flavorful! Thanks!

    • 17 years ago

    These burgers have so much flavor and are sooo… juicy! Beats a restaurant burger any day. The flavors blend better if refrigerated as called for, but, I’ve made them in a hurry without refrigerating and they turned out well, although, not quite as good. My husband really loved this with bacon and cheddar cheese.

    • 17 years ago

    Very juicy burgers. I added 1 tbs of montreal grill seasoning to the mix. It was a lot of meat for just my small family so the next day I used the already prepared meat to make meatloaf. It was THE BEST meatloaf ever! I added 4 tbs of ketchup, 1 cup of uncooked oatmeat, a pinch of salt and one egg. I made a ketchup sauce with 1/2 cup of ketchup 1/3 cup of brown sugar 1/4 cup of lemon juice and 1 tsp of mustard powder and glaced the meatoaf the last ten minutes of cooking (I cooked the whole thing for about 1 hour 15 minutes. I will use my new creation as my new favorite meatloaf recipe.

    • 16 years ago

    My husband LOVED this recipe and so did I. It has a great flavor and its very quick to make. I didn’t have time to marinate and it still tasted fantasic. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to spice up the average hamburger.

    • 16 years ago

    These were very good. Tender and flavorful.

    • 16 years ago

    The recipe was great! I tried Cajun spice instead of the Italian style….worked just as well!

    I also added 1 egg to keep it all together.

    • 16 years ago

    love em!! i use fresh onion and garlic….it gives them so much flavor. i dont at all think they turn out “meatloaf-ey” … but i also put cheese on top and serve em up like traditional burgers. yum!

    • 16 years ago

    Seasoning overpowered the flavors of garlic and onion. They were super moist and were a great substitute for plain hamburgers.

    • 16 years ago

    These give a good old burger an extra kick.

    • 16 years ago

    These came out fantastic. The only modifications I made were I put in 3 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce and an extra clove of garlic (we’re garlic fanatics). I also added 2 tbsp of olive oil and 1 egg to help hold it together. Then I topped it off with some provolone cheese. My entire family absolutely loved the way these turned out.

    • 16 years ago

    These burgers were a great change of pace from “the same ole thing.” Especially loved the garlic!

    • 16 years ago

    Hamburgers can be bland, the seasonings in this recipe made these special. They even reheated very nicely. I took one to work the next day and carried it back to my desk and several people went “mmmmmmm…what have you got?”

    • 16 years ago

    Easy to make and very delicious! The company commented on how good they were and asked what was in it. Today when rating the recipe I realized that I even forgot to put the Italian seasonin in .. oops! I’m sure that will only make this recipe better! I did double the W. sauce though as others suggested and added 1/2 cup oatmeal and 1 egg to hold it together.

    • 16 years ago

    It tastes a lot more like meatloaf with a few things missing. Definitely will not make this again.

    • 16 years ago

    Perhaps I shouldn’t have added an egg but I did. I thought they would hold their shape a little better with an egg added but I was wrong. Sorry to change things up a little but I also deleted the italian seasoning which I didn’t have on hand and I added 1/2 teaspoon of Wright’s Hickory concentrated liquid smoke instead. Good flavour and worth taking a photo for submission!

    • 16 years ago

    This is great. Love the flavour of the worcestershire sauce.

    • 16 years ago

    We used this for an Army BBQ and everyone, including a 4 year old, loved it. Instead of using Worcesteshire sauce, I used a steak seasoning.
