Time 25m

Yield 4 hamburgers

Number Of Ingredients 16

24 ounces ground chuck
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Spice Mix, optional, recipe follows
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 slices cheese, such as Cheddar, American, Saga blue cheese, and Swiss, optional
4 soft hamburger-style buns, split
4 slices beefsteak tomatoes, optional
Assorted lettuces and greens, such as iceberg, romaine, or watercress
Assorted mustards, such as whole-grained, Dijon, or French's, optional
Mayonnaise, optional
Ketchup, optional
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
Hot Sauce, to taste

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.

HAMBURGER RECIPE



Hamburger recipe image

A classic, juicy Hamburger Recipe made with ground chuck, a simple burger seasoning, and all of the classic burger toppings.

Provided by Lauren Allen

Categories     Main Course

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ pounds ground chuck (80/20)*
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6 buns (, toasted, if desired)
6 slices cheddar cheese (, or your favorite cheese)
6 Lettuce leaves
1 Beefsteak tomato (, sliced)
1/2 of a Red or white onion (, thinly sliced)
6 Pickle slices

Steps:

  • Make burger seasoning by combining all spices in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Divide ground chuck into 6 equal portions and gently from into 1/2 inch thick patties that are wider than the burger buns (as they will shrink). Use your thumb to press an indentation into the center of each patty. Cover and set aside.
  • Preheat grill to medium high heat. Just before cooking, sprinkle seasoning over the patties, then place on hot grill, indent-side up. Close grill lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the bottom of the burger is seared and juices are accumulating on top of the burger. Flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until the beef reaches 160 degrees F.
  • Place cheese on burgers during the last minute of cooking. Remove to a plate and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving in a bun, with toppings.

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.

THE BEST HAMBURGER RECIPE (AND AMAZING SECRET SAUCE)



The Best Hamburger Recipe (and amazing secret sauce) image

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef (I used 80/20 - fattier meat means a juicier burger!)
1/2 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
1/4 cup BBQ sauce
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup pickle relish
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
5 hamburger buns (we like sesame seed buns)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cheese, bbq sauce, and seasonings. Don't add too much bbq sauce or the patties will have a hard time taking shape. Shape patties that are about 1 inch thick (about 5 patties). (You can also freeze the patties after shaping them for about 1 hour to help them hold their shape.)
  • Turn grill up to high and let it get hot.
  • Reduce heat to medium-high and place the burgers on the grill. Allow this side of the patty to cook for about 4-6 minutes, but make sure it does not burn. Then flip the burger over and cook until done.
  • For the sauce, combine all sauce ingredients and whisk until well mixed. Taste and adjust ingredients to your liking.
  • Assemble the burgers and serve with the special sauce and other hamburger toppings of choice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right meat: A good hamburger starts with high-quality ground beef. Look for a blend of chuck and sirloin, which will give you a juicy and flavorful burger.
  • Season the meat simply: Don't overcomplicate things with the seasonings. A simple combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder is all you need.
  • Don't overwork the meat: Overworking the meat will make it tough. Just mix the ingredients together until they are well combined.
  • Form the patties gently: Use your hands to gently form the meat into patties. Don't pack them too tightly, or they will be dry.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help prevent them from burning on the outside while still cooking through on the inside.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that your burgers are cooked to perfection is to use a meat thermometer. Cook them to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 170 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 175 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
  • Let the burgers rest: Before you serve the burgers, let them rest for a few minutes. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making them more flavorful.

Conclusion:

Making homemade hamburgers is a great way to enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal. With the right ingredients and a little bit of care, you can create burgers that are even better than anything you can get at a restaurant. So fire up the grill and give these recipes a try!
