Hamburger Pattie Details

The entire family is sure to love this classic burger recipe. Making your own burger patties is actually super easy! Let me show you how…

Ingredients

Here are a few of the basic grocery store staples that you will need to get started with this easy recipe.

• Lean ground beef – Costco has the best deal on ground beef, I buy a large pack at least once a month. This recipe uses half of the Costco pack and makes 12 patties.
• White onion, finely diced.
• Eggs – we’re currently loving farm fresh eggs from the neighbour.
• Bread crumbs – Panko works great here.
• Homemade hamburger seasoning or store bought.
• Worcestershire sauce – dare you to say that three times fast!

Instructions

1. Gather all of the ingredients.

2. In a large bowl combine lean beef and eggs.

3. Add onion, breadcrumbs and seasoning.

4. Mix until well combined.

5. Use a kitchen scale to weigh out 5 oz balls from the meat mixture.

6. Form the balls into patties by hand or use a pattie press.

7. Layer patties between wax paper and store in the fridge, covered until ready to use.

This easy recipe makes 12 juicy burgers.

Tips and Tricks

• 1 pound of ground pork may be added to the ground beef.
• Homemade barbecue sauce can be substituted for Worchestershire sauce.
• Panko breadcrumbs are our favorite binding agent but crushed crackers may be used instead.
• Add additional onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper or kosher salt to taste.
• Store in a single layer or between sheets of parchment paper. Check out this how to freeze hamburger patties post for more.

How long do you cook hamburger patties?

• Hamburgers can be cooked in a slow cooker on high for 5 hours or low for 7-9 hours.
• Patties may be placed in an air fryer basket and cooked for 6-7 minutes at 350 degrees F.
• Hamburger patties can be cooked on the gas grill grate or charcoal grill for 8-10 minutes.
• Smoked hamburgers take 2 hours to cook when smoked at 165 degrees F.
• Baked hamburgers in the oven take about 25 minutes at 350 degrees F.
• In a large skillet, cook juicy burger patties on medium-high heat for 7-9 minutes.
• Use a food thermometer to make sure that the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.

Serve these on fresh hamburger buns and add your favorite toppings! A great burger is always made better with a side of french fries, pasta salad or caesar salad.

Topping Suggestions

• Add a slice of cheese like cheddar cheese, provolone or swiss.
• Top with crispy bacon, a fried egg or slice of red onion.
• Add skillet fried mushrooms, a slice of tomato or lettuce.
• Top with 1 Tbsp of garlic butter to the center of each patty.
• Slather in homemade barbecue sauce.
