I had to come up with a quick dinner idea the other night, so naturally I stood in the meat section of the grocery store pondering my options. And sure enough, ground beef was on sale...so, it was settled...hamburgers! The great thing about hamburgers is their versatility. By this I mean you can make them out of ground turkey, beef, chicken, and even vegetarian options...literally so many options. And just think of the many toppings you can have on them! My point is, I rarely have a burger that I don't like, and it's really easy to make them at home.
Ingredients:
- Ground meat of your choice
- Worcestershire sauce
- Garlic salt
- Dried minced onion
- Fresh ground black pepper
 |
| Add the ground meat, garlic salt, ground pepper, minced onion, and Worcestershire sauce to the bowl. I don't really have measurements...b/c I don't measure unless I bake...so I just make sure to put enough in for flavor. But remember...you can always add more, but you can't take out ingredients. |
 |
| This is where it gets messy...take your *clean* hands and mix everything together. Once this is done, grab a fair handful (depending on the size you want to make) and shape them into a ball...like you are making huge meatballs. Then, smoosh (is that a word?) them flat, rounding out the edges. |
 |
| When you're finished, place them on a plate and heat up your pan...or grill. I used about 2 lbs. of meat, so I made fairly decent sized burgers. |
 |
| Easy peasy to do this on a pan indoors, but feel free to do these on the grill! I crank the burner to just over medium & put them right into the pan. |
 |
| When they have just browned on the first side, flip them over and let them brown on the other side. Then, cover them with the lid and let them steam in their own juicy goodness. Check & flip them every so often so they don't burn though. |
 |
| Andddddd yum! When you insert a knife in the burgers and they do not ooze pink liquid, they are done. Slap a piece of cheese on when hot, take a fork to them, and eat right away...at least that's how I eat them! But again, feel free to enjoy any way you would like! |
