Description: Yes, it is one TABLESPOON of minced garlic! These are absolutely wonderful. Serve on a bun with teriyaki sauce. If freezing in advance, you might want to lessen the garlic just a little as the flavor intensifies. Unless you’re like me and LOVE the taste!

Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, soy sauce, sugar, sesame seeds, green onions, minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Shape the mixture into 4 patties of equal size, ensuring they hold together well.
- Heat a grill or frying pan over medium heat. Place the patties on the grill or in the pan and cook to your desired level of doneness, flipping once halfway through. This typically takes about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the patties and your preferred level of doneness.
- Once cooked, remove the patties from the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
- If you’d like to freeze the patties for later use, follow these steps:
- Place the uncooked patties in a single layer on plastic wrap.
- Wrap the stack of patties in aluminum foil, ensuring they are well-sealed to prevent freezer burn.
- Label the package with the date and contents.
- To cook from frozen, simply grill or fry the patties directly from the freezer until they are cooked through. This may take a few minutes longer than cooking fresh patties.
