Hamburgerpastry Recipes

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:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cook and stir the meat and onion in a large skillet until the meat is brown.
• Drain off the excess fat.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients except the pie crust mix and set aside.
• Prepare the pastry as for a 2 crust pie as directed on the package.
• Divide the pastry into 8 equal parts.
• Roll each part, on a lightly floured surface, into a 7-inch circle.
• On half of the circle, spread about 1/4 cup of the meat mixture (packed) to within 1/2-inch of the edge.
• Moisten the edge of the pastry with water and fold over the meat mixture, sealing the edges with a fork.
• Place on an ungreased baking sheet and prick the tops with the fork.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes.
• You can serve these as sandwiches or, if you prefer, place on a plate and top with gravy or sauce.
• NOTE: You can substitute 1 cup of your favorite cooked vegetable for the peas or carrots in this recipe.

Steps:

• Chop garlic cloves on wooden surface then put in mortar and pestle.
• Add salt and olive oil and make a paste.
• Add this to the meat along with the Worcestershire and horseradish.
• Mix everything and adjust ingredients to suit your taste.
• When you make the patties place an indention in the middle of each one with your thumb (almost all the way through). This keeps the burgers from shrinking. We like ours thick and I like them to stay that way!
• Salt and Pepper according to taste when done.
• An added note on 04-03-06 - Thank you all for your positive feedback. It's nice to get confirmation on something I thought was good and different.
• Please note that I usually add more ingredients than what is called for above. I nuke a tiny hamburger (meatball size) and taste. I usually add more of everything. The horseradish does not taste like horseradish when cooked. It gives it a flavor note that otherwise wouldn't be there. Unless you are allergic to it, please try it.

Steps:

• Shape ground beef into four 3/4-in.-thick patties. Just before grilling, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat until a thermometer reads 160°, 5-7 minutes on each side. Top bun bottoms with burgers. If desired, serve with lettuce, tomato, onion, bacon and mayonnaise.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
• In a medium 8-inch (20-cm) cast-iron skillet, press down half of the ground beef with a spatula to mold into a patty. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place the cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and sear the patty until browned, about 4 minutes on each side.
• Remove the patty from the skillet and set aside. Repeat with remaining beef.
• Return the pan to low heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is caramelized, about 20 minutes.
• Add the garlic and spinach, stirring until the spinach is cooked down, about 5 minutes.
• Lay one sheet of puff pastry on a baking sheet and top with 1 patty.
• Layer 4 slices of cheese over the patty, then top with the caramelized onion mixture.
• Top with the remaining 4 slices of cheese and the other patty.
• Cover with the other sheet of puff pastry.
• Trim the edges of the pastry with a knife and discard.
• Crimp the edges of the pastry, then press with a fork to seal.
• Brush the top and sides of the pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through.
• Slice and serve with additional toppings of your choice.
• Enjoy!

• Mix hamburger, diced onion,steak seasoning, steak sauce together until well blended.

• Grill or fry in frying pan using a little olive oil until burgers are medium well done.
• On a flat surface place a little flour out and place the puff pastry sheet on top and slightly roll to flatten lightly.
• Cut into 5 rectangles evenly, if possible.
• Again roll each rectangle out to fix one burger on.
• Place burgers on each rectangle and add a slice of cheese.
• Cover burgers by bringing ends together to cover the burger completely.
• Place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
• Whisk together egg yolk and water.
• Brush over the covered burgers.
• Place in preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
• For a Garnish: squeeze a little ketchup zig zagging over the burgers and squeeze a little mustard the opposite way. Enjoy!

Steps:
