Instructions
- 1 Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 Cut the crusts off the bread slices. Place slices on the prepared baking sheet.
- 3 Bake in the center of the preheated oven until dry and toasted, about 45 minutes.
- 4 Transfer toasted bread to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until you reach coarse crumbs.
- 5 Place ground chuck, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder into a bowl. Add bread crumbs. Combine with your fingers, breaking apart the meat.
- 6 Dampen your fingers with water and form mixture into hamburger patties.
- 7 Heat ¼ to ½ inch vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place a patty into the pan and turn heat down to medium. Cook until well browned and crusty, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining patties, adding more oil if needed.
- 8 Remove from the pan and serve on hamburger buns with mustard and pickles; sprinkle tops of patties with chili powder and/or cayenne if you like prior to serving.
