Best Skillet Hamburger Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, season to taste with salt and pepper and cook, breaking into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until well browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the meat to a bowl, leaving behind any drippings; reduce the heat to medium.
• To the same skillet, add the mushrooms, season with salt and cook until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the cooked mushrooms to the bowl with the beef. Add the oil, onion, carrot, garlic, and paprika to the skillet and continue to cook until the carrots are soft and the onion is lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in the tomato paste and cook until the tomato paste has toasted and is evenly coating the vegetables, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth, water, and the Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and stir in the pasta. Cover and cook according to package directions until the noodles are just al dente. Uncover, stir in the reserved beef and mushrooms until heated through. Remove from heat and stir in the cream cheese, sour cream, chopped parsley, chopped chives, and salt and pepper, to taste, until the cream cheese melts and the sauce is creamy. Divide among 6 bowls. Serve.

Steps:

• Form ground beef into 4 equal burgers.
• Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add burgers and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
• Reduce heat to medium. Season burgers with 1/2 of the salt and 1/2 of the pepper, flip, and cook for 6 minutes. Season with remaining salt and pepper, flip, and cook for another 6 minutes.
• Pour 1/2 of the Worcestershire sauce onto the burgers, flip, and cook for 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining sauce and cook, about 2 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).

Steps:

• Divide meat into 4 portions and lightly shape into patties, handling as little as possible.
• Sprinkle the bottom of a large, heavy black iron skillet with a light layer of salt and heat the skillet on stove top until it is searing hot.
• Add the patties and sear well on each side to seal in the juices. Reduce heat to medium high and cook meat for 3 minutes on each side.
• When done, remove patties to warmed platter, sprinkle with salt and pepper and top each with 1 T. butter.
• Sprinkle on Worcestershire, Tabasco, lemon juice and parsley and allow butter to melt on each patty. Serve meat on buns with pan juices.

Steps:

• Season the beef with the salt, pepper, and Essence.
• In a large cast iron skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned beef and cook, stirring, until well browned and all pink has disappeared. Drain off any excess oil in the skillet.
• Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook, stirring until the mushrooms have released their juices, about 2 minutes. Add the macaroni (or egg noodles), beef broth and sour cream. Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens slightly, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and spoon the mixture onto 2 large plates. Sprinkle each portion with the cheese, if desired, and chopped parsley and serve immediately.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
