Provided by ShareThatSmile

Categories     Meat

Time 15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 lbs ground chuck
1 (1 ounce) envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix (I change it up from Beefy Onion to Mushroom Onion or regular Onion-comes 2 envelopes to a box)

Steps:

  • Combine ingredients, taking care not to over mix. Add a tablespoon of water if need be. Make into 6 - 8 patties. Grill on outside grill. We use a gas grill at 300 degrees and cook time is about 10 minutes, flipping the burgers a couple of times. Eliminate excessive grease by pressing the burgers after each flip. Add cheese of your choice or none at all -- serve hot on hamburger buns or eat just plain.

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high. Form ground beef (preferably chuck) into 6-ounce patties and make an indentation in each. Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil, then grill the patties, indentation-side up, until marked on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly firm, about 3 more minutes for medium doneness. For cheeseburgers, top with 2 slices cheese during the last minute of cooking; cover the grill to melt.

GRILLED HAMBURGERS



Grilled Hamburgers image

We cook a lot of burgers indoors on a fat-slicked iron skillet, and you can do that on a grill as well. (Here's our burger guide for more information and inspiration.) But sometimes you want a smoky grilled burger. For that, a charcoal grill is best, but a gas grill can do the trick, too. Resist the temptation to press down on the burgers with a spatula, which only spews juice and fat on the fire, causing the flames to flare up and the burger to lose flavor. If you feel your burger is cooking too quickly, use the cooler sides of the grill to rest them. And remember: lowering the top on the grill helps cheese melt.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 pounds ground beef, about 20 percent fat
Kosher salt and black pepper
Cheese slices (optional)
4 hamburger buns, split

Steps:

  • Start a charcoal fire or heat a gas grill. (Check out our grilling guide for how.) Form the patties into 3/4-inch burgers, being careful not to make them too loose or too large, then make a deep depression in the center of each burger with your thumb. Season both sides of the each burger aggressively with kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Place burgers on a hot grill and cook, without moving, for about 3 minutes. Use a spatula to turn the hamburger over. If using cheese, lay slices on the meat. Continue to cook until the burgers are cooked through, about another 3 to 4 minutes for medium-rare. Remove the burgers from the grill and allow to rest for a few minutes while you toast the buns. Top the burgers as you desire.

REALLY EASY BEEFBURGERS



Really easy beefburgers image

Perfect for getting the kids cooking, these burgers are fun to make, freeze well and are super tasty too

Provided by Sara Buenfeld

Categories     Buffet, Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

500g pack lean minced beef , preferably organic
1 tsp mild chilli powder
4 slices mild cheddar , if you want to make cheeseburgers
4 burger buns
choice of lettuce , cucumber, gherkin, tomato and red onion
ketchup or mayonnaise , or both

Steps:

  • Flavour the meat: Put the meat in a mixing bowl, then sprinkle over the chilli powder and a little salt and pepper. Mix well with your hands or use a fork. The mild chilli powder gives the meat added flavour without making it too spicy.
  • Shape into burgers: Divide the mixture into 4 equal pieces, then shape with your hands into round burgers about the width of the buns, or pack the mixture into large presentation rings (if you have them) placed on a chopping board. You need to press down on the meat to compact it, then carefully lift off the rings - a bit like making sandcastles.
  • Now get cooking: Fry the burgers on a hot griddle or grill them outside on the barbecue for 5 mins on each side, turning them carefully with a metal spatula. Take care as hot fat from the meat may spit a little.
  • Top with cheese and toast the buns: If you want to make cheeseburgers, put a slice of cheese on top of the burgers when you turn them over and let it melt while the other side cooks. When they are ready, cut the burger baps in half and warm them in the toaster or on the barbecue - take care that you don't burn them.
  • Prepare the toppings: Meanwhile, prepare the toppings of your choice. Separate the lettuce into leaves. Then, using a sharp knife, thinly slice the tomato, cucumber and gherkin on a separate board to the one you prepared the burgers on. Peel and finely chop the red onion.
  • Assemble and enjoy: Spread a little mayonnaise or ketchup - or both if you like - onto the toasted buns, then top with your burgers and salads of your choice, followed by the remaining half bun.

I found this recipe on grouprecipes.com but tweaked it a bit by adding breadcrumbs. Otherwise, the patties don't hold together. These are very flavourful.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ground beef. The quality of your beef will greatly impact the taste of your burger. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean and has a good amount of marbling.
  • Season your beef well. Don't be afraid to use a generous amount of salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Form your burgers gently. Don't overwork the beef, or it will become tough. Just gently shape it into patties that are about 3/4-inch thick.
  • Cook your burgers over medium-high heat. This will help them develop a nice crust and prevent them from drying out.
  • Don't flip your burgers too often. Flipping them too often will make them dry out. Flip them only once, when they are cooked about halfway through.
  • Let your burgers rest before serving. This will help them retain their juices and stay moist.

Conclusion:

Grilling hamburgers is a quick and easy way to enjoy a delicious meal. By following these tips, you can make sure that your burgers are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
