Inwood Hamburgers

These were born in Inwood, NY, where I live, in honor of the farmer's market that sells the freshest ingredients every Saturday. It is an alternate version of the All-American favorite. Serve with 'the works' (onions, relish, mustard, ketchup, mayo) on toasted English muffins.

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
• 1 pound ground beef
• ½ green bell pepper, chopped
• 2 green onions, finely chopped
• 1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
• 3 tablespoons bread crumbs
• 4 soft sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 8 English muffins, split and toasted

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix the beef, sun-dried tomato, green onions, garlic, bell pepper, egg, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper together in a bowl using your hands to assure the ingredients are equally integrated. Form into 8 1/2-inch thick patties.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the burgers in the hot skillet until cooked to your desired degree of doneness, 5 to 6 minutes per side for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Serve on the toasted English muffins.
