A juicy, simple, quick homemade hamburger was on my radar. I don't like fussing with fancy patty presses, or finicky techniques to form my burger, and I shy away from ingredient overload. These hamburgers come together in 10 minutes or less, they hold together wonderfully whether cooking on a cast iron pan, skillet, or BBQ. And they taste DELICIOUS, with the beef flavor complimented by the other ingredients. This is how a hamburger should taste.
Serves 7-8
Ingredients
PATTIES
5 lbs - medium or lean ground beef
5-6 - sun-dried tomatoes in oil (chopped)
2 - green onion (sliced in thin rings) Or 2 TBSP dried
2 tsp - garlic chopped (about 2 cloves)
1 large - egg
3 tbsp - breadcrumbs
1 - 2 - dashes Worcestershire sauce
1 dash - hot pepper sauce
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
*Gently mix the ground beef, sun-dried tomatoes, green onions, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
Form into 8 loose, equal balls. (As we have younger children, we like to make some patties smaller and we cook them just a minute less) Form each ball into 1/2-inch patties, taking care to make sure the edges of the patties have no cracks in them.
Cook the hamburger on a hot skillet, BBQ, or cast-iron pan for 5 minutes on one side, flip and cook another 5 minutes on the other side, add any cheese if using; about 2 minutes before finished cooking. The key here is only flipping your hamburger once.
Serve the hamburgers on homemade buns or on split English muffins. And add all your fixings!
