Fancyhamburgers Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix ground beef, diced onion, chunky salsa, ketchup, brown sugar, egg, oats, salt and pepper. Form the mixture into patties.
• In a medium skillet over medium heat, fry patties 4 to 5 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.

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.

Steps:

• Place the ground chuck in a bowl, and add the egg. Mix the egg in with the meat, to make sure the meat is fully soaked.
• Begin making your "Hamburgers.".
• What I do is take about a handfull of hamburger meat, roll it into a ball and flatten out.
• Next, pour bread crumbs out on a separate plate.
• Dip the each hamburger on BOTH sides into the bread crumbs.
• Cook in a frying pan with 2 - 3 tablespoons of butter on med-to med-low heat until fully cooked.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Form 8 patties from the ground meat. I usually use ground chicken breast or lean ground sirloin. Ground turkey is ok but it is going to be very soft so you may want to add some bread crumbs to firm it up- A mix of ground meats works well too.
• Place cheese in the center of 4 of the patties.
• Top each cheese topped patty with a non cheese topped patty and pinch edges to seal all the cheese inside.
• In a hot non stick pan add 1 tsp of salt- this will keep the grease from settling in the burgers- Gramma trick!
• Fry the patties on each side until browned and cooked through.
• Remove patties and keep them warm on a paper towel lined plated.
• Drain grease from pan and add tomato sauce and brown sugar.
• Cook until sugar is dissolved and sauce is warm. Add salt and pepper to taste- can also add some garlic and onion powder as well- to taste.
• Return the patties to the pan with the warm sauce turning once to coat.
• Spoon sauce on top of each patty when serving.
• When you cut into the patty the cheese will melt out! YUM.
• NOTE: Try other 'stuffings' inside these fancy burgers. Great way to sneak veggies in as well! Try adding some diced mushrooms, green peppers, broccoli, carrot, etc -- aqnd use as much or as little cheese as you like --.
• Experiment! Try pizza sauce/ mozzarella.
• spaghetti sauce/parmesan.
• tomato soup/monterey jack.
• mushroom soup/smoked gouda.
• the possibilities are endless- Have fun!
