Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef , 75% to 80% lean
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons dried sage
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons dried basil
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoons dried marjoram
• 0.13 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. 1 Gather the ingredients.
2. 2 Place ground beef into a large bowl.
3. 3 Stir brown sugar, sage, salt, basil, black pepper, onion powder, marjoram, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl.
4. 4 Sprinkle over beef and use your hands to mix until evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate until flavors have blended, about 24 hours.
5. 5 Divide beef mixture into 8 patties.
6. 6 Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook patties in the hot skillet until firm and no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
