### MAKE AHEAD
Prepare the beef mixture and shape into patties **2 days ahead**. Stack the patties between waxed paper and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
---
### VARIATION
For an extra-robust Italian twist, substitute **3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese** for the Cheddar cheese.
---
### DIRECTIONS
**1.** Combine beef, egg, salt, pepper, oregano, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl; mix well. Add onion; mix well.
**2.** Add Cheddar to bowl; mix well but do not overmix. Cheese should retain its shape.
**3.** Shape beef mixture into **6 thick patties** using a hamburger press. Preheat broiler.
**4.** Place hamburgers on broiler pan. Broil, turning once, until cooked through, about **5 minutes per side**. Toast cut sides of buns under broiler. Place patties on buns.

### Make It Quicker
Overhandling ground beef results in tougher hamburgers. For juicy burgers, only turn once and don’t press or flatten them with the spatula.
