Step-by-Step Instructions
First, start by combining the ground beef, whiskey, chopped onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. I like to use my hands here to ensure everything is incorporated evenly. The smell of the whiskey mingling with the fresh ground beef is truly enticing! Once it’s all mixed, form the mixture into patties, about 1 inch thick. I usually aim for about four patties; they shrink up a bit when cooking. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
