Simple Burger Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, salt and pepper. Place ground beef and bread crumbs into the mixture. With hands or a fork, mix until well blended. Form into 4 patties approximately 3/4 inch thick.
• Place patties on the prepared grill. Cover and cook 6 to 8 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.

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.

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 a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Place the cheese sauce in a pan over low heat to warm gradually.
• Melt the butter on one half of the griddle. Add the onion, peppers and mushrooms to the buttered side of the griddle and toss. Season with 1 teaspoon of the steak seasoning, then let cook until they begin to caramelize and darken, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, divide the beef in half and roll each half into a ball. Sprinkle the beef with the remaining teaspoon steak seasoning, along with some salt and pepper. Add the beef to the griddle and, using the back of a spatula, smash the beef into two thin patties. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. When the patties are cooked through, place a slice of provolone on each patty and allow to melt slightly. Place one patty on top of the other and remove to a plate. Remove the vegetables to a plate also.
• Add the mustard to the bottom half of the roll. Add the patties and top with the vegetables. Cover the vegetables with the cheese sauce and add the top half of the roll. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients with your hands.
• Break off sections and form into patty's.
• Cook on the stove or BBQ.

Steps:

• Make the pickled red onions: In a small pot, combine the water, apple cider vinegar, salt, sugar, peppercorns, and coriander seeds, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
• Turn off the heat and add the sliced onion, making sure they are fully submerged. Let cool to room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
• Make the Thousand Island Dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, garlic, and vinegar.
• In a large bowl, season the ground beef generously with salt and pepper. Use your hands to mix until evenly combined.
• Divide the beef into 4 8-ounce portions and form into patties. Place on a cutting board. Use your thumb to press a divot into the center of each burger.
• Heat the grapeseed oil in a cast iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Add the burger patties and cook for 3-4 minutes, without disturbing, until browned.
• Use a spatula to flip the burgers over and place a slice of cheddar on each one. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the burgers are cooked through and cheese has melted.
• Place on sesame buns and top with the pickled red onions, Thousand Island Dressing, tomato, and lettuce. Serve with French fries.
• Enjoy!
