Cooking 101 Basics Week #6 – Homemade Hamburgers

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure.

Sometimes, I’m shocked at the prices at the store…okay, most of the time. The difference in price from buying pre-made hamburger patties versus the same amount of ground beef is shocking! When I was a newlywed, I discovered this the hard way with a tight budget and a man who loves a great burger. I quickly learned to make hamburgers myself.

WEEK #6 – HAMBURGERS

How to Make the Perfect Burger

One of my favorite reasons for making my own burgers is because I can season the meat the whole way through and not just the outer surface. When the whole patty is properly seasoned you will wonder how you ever ate a pre-made patty. The bad thing about this is that no other burger will do. I can’t eat a restaurant burger because most of the time they just aren’t seasoned properly.

Using a burger press will help you get a perfect shape. Hubbyman likes them perfectly shaped, but I don’t really care…it all tastes the same. But I use the press to make him happy!

I’m not going to share an actual recipe this week. It’s more of guide. We pretty much always do this, it’s a good foundation for all other burgers I make.

Once you have the ground beef in a bowl and have added your ingredients, score the meat with your hand to use as a guide when pulling out meat for each patty.

How to Make the Perfect Burger

For about 1 1/4 lbs ground beef, use 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 2 tsps steak seasoning, and 2 tsps garlic (I love using Gourmet Gardens…it makes this even easier)

MY SPONSOR

Please welcome the sponsor this week…Gourmet Gardens! They make fresh herbs & spices easy for everyday use. I keep mine in the freezer and use as needed…no need to keep buying fresh herbs that die after a couple days in the fridge. These last a couple months in the fridge or up to six in the freezer!
