Homemade Beef Burger Recipe
Ingredients
For the Patty:
- 1/2 kg ground beef
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 50 cc milk
For Serving:
- Sliced Cheddar cheese
- Lettuce
- Tomato slices
- Mayonnaise
- Ketchup/BBQ sauce
- Pre-purchased burger buns
Instructions
-
Prepare the Breadcrumb Mixture: Begin by combining the breadcrumbs with the milk in a small bowl. Let it sit for a few minutes until the breadcrumbs absorb the milk and soften.
-
Mix the Patty Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, BBQ sauce, salt, black pepper, and the softened breadcrumb mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round patty, then flatten it to your desired thickness. For a denser patty, gently toss each patty between your hands to remove any air pockets.
-
Cook the Patties: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for approximately 5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your preferred level of doneness. Avoid pressing down on the patties as they cook, as this can cause the juices to escape.
-
Rest the Patties: Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
-
Assemble Your Burger: Place each patty on a burger bun and top with your choice of sliced Cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato slices, mayonnaise, and ketchup or BBQ sauce.
-
