JUICIEST HAMBURGERS EVER
No more dry, lackluster burgers. These are juicy, and spices can be easily added or changed to suit anyone's taste. Baste frequently with your favorite barbeque sauce. If you find the meat mixture too mushy, just add more bread crumbs until it forms patties that hold their shape.

HAMBURGER PATTIES
Perfect burgers every time! There is quite a debate about the origin of the popular American hamburger. I will side with the Wisconsin theory, and attribute this recipe to the Midwest U.S. region.

Steps:
- Sometimes I vary the seasonings- using a steak seasoning or Cajun seasoning instead of salt and pepper.
- Mix ingredients with your hands using a light touch.
- Don't be tempted to overmix.
- If you do, it becomes too dense.
- When charcoal grilling, add 1/2 cup water to the beef mixture to keep it from drying out.
- For pan frying, don't use a nonstick pan- it won't brown as well, and heat some oil in the pan before adding burgers to keep the burgers from sticking and to help sear and form a nice brown, crispy exterior.
- Either method will take about 10- 12 minutes of cooking time, depending on thickness of patty, temperature of heat source and your preference (we like ours medium cooked).
- Note: when pan-frying don't be tempted to press down and squeeze all the juice out, just turn them more often (turn only once on the grill).

Steps:
- Set out a large mixing bowl. Add in the ground beef, crushed crackers, egg, Worcestershire sauce, milk, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Mix by hand until the meat mixture is smooth, but stop once the mixture looks even. (Overmixing can create a dense heavy texture.)
- Press the meat down in the bowl, into an even disk. Use a knife to cut and divide the hamburger patty mixture into 6 - 1/3 pound grill or skillet patties, or 12 thin griddle patties.
- Set out a baking sheet, lined with wax paper or foil, to hold the patties. One at a time, gather the patty mix and press firmly into patties. Shape them just slightly larger than the buns you plan to use, to account for shrinkage during cooking. Set the patties on the baking sheet. Use a spoon to press a dent in the center of each patty so they don't puff up as they cook. If you need to stack the patties separate them with a sheet of wax paper.
- Preheat the grill or a skillet to medium heat. (Approximately 350-400 degrees F.)
- For thick patties: Grill or fry the patties for 3-4 minutes per side.
- For thin patties: Cook on the griddle for 2 minutes per side.
- Stack the hot patties on hamburgers buns, and top with your favorite hamburgers toppings. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a roasting rack on a foil-lined baking sheet in the oven.
- Using your hands, break the meat into small pieces and combine evenly but loosely on a parchment or waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Spread the meat out and season it generously with salt and pepper. If desired, add the spice mix at this time.
- Divide the meat into 4 portions (about 6 ounces each). Using your hands, form each portion into a ball-shape by gently tossing it from 1 hand to the other. (Don't over work or press too firmly on the meat.) Gently form each portion into a patty about 3 1/2 inches wide and 1-inch-thick.
- Preheat a large cast iron skillet over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Raise the heat to high and add the oil. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until well-browned, about 2 minutes each side.
- Using a spatula, transfer the hamburgers to the roasting rack in the oven and continue cooking to desired doneness, 8 to 9 minutes for medium-rare, 10 to 11 minutes for medium, and 13 to 15 minutes for well-done. If you are using the cheese, top the hamburgers during their last couple of minutes of cooking to melt.
- Transfer the hamburgers to a plate, let rest for a couple minutes before serving. Meanwhile, toast the hamburger buns. Assemble the hamburgers with the condiments and toppings of your choice. Serve.
- When cooking on a countertop grill, turn on grill, then place burgers on the heated grill.
- Timing for a countertop grill:
- For Medium-Rare: Cook for 3 minutes covered and then unplug the machine and continue to cook covered for 2 to 3 more minutes.
- For Medium: Cook for 4 minutes covered and then unplug the machine and continue to cook covered for 4 more minutes.
- For Well: Cook for 5 minutes covered and then unplug the machine and continue to cook covered for 5 more minutes.
- Combine all ingredients.

Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef. 80/20 ground beef is the best choice for hamburgers, as it has a good balance of fat and lean meat. Ground chuck is also a good option, but it is a bit leaner. Avoid ground sirloin, as it is too lean and will result in dry hamburgers.
- Season the meat simply. Salt and pepper are all you really need to season hamburger patties. You can add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, if you like, but don't overdo it.
- Handle the meat gently. Overworking the meat will make the hamburgers tough. Mix the meat with your hands just until it is combined, then form it into patties.
- Don't overcook the hamburgers. Hamburgers are best cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
- Let the hamburgers rest before serving. Letting the hamburgers rest for a few minutes before serving allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and juicy burger.
Conclusion:
Making homemade hamburger patties is a great way to control the quality and flavor of your burgers. By following these tips, you can make delicious, juicy hamburgers that will be the hit of your next cookout.
