Method

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, and grill seasoning. Add 2-3 tablespoons of cold water to help bind the panko, and mix gently with your hands just until combined — overmixing will make the patties tough.

2. 2

   Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into thin, loosely packed patties about 1/2 inch thick, since the panko filler makes them delicate and they'll firm up as they cook.

3. 3

   Heat a heavy skillet or griddle over medium-high heat with a thin layer of oil until shimmering.

4. 4

   Fry the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently once with a spatula, until deeply browned and crisp at the edges and cooked through to at least 160°F internal temperature.

   Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain briefly, then serve hot on soft buns with mustard, sliced onion, and pickles, Mississippi-style.
