Seasoned Chuck Ground Beef Patties

*2 pounds Chuck Ground Beef

*2 teaspoons Onion Powder

*2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika

*2 teaspoons dried Thyme Leaves

*2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce

*1 teaspoon Sea Salt

*1 teaspoon Fresh Ground Pepper

Combine together in a bowl the above ingredients and form into generous 1/2 cup patties about 3/4 inch thick. Cook burgers in a heated cast iron grill skillet or skillet as desired, use splash guards/screens to prevent splattering. We like well done burgers, so we cooked them 6 minutes per side on medium heat. Makes 8 Beef Patties.
