BEEF BURGERS

A classic crowd-pleasing ground beef burger.Incredibly tasty, moist, and delicious traditional burger.

The flavor, texture, and satisfaction of this burger make it an approachable and easy meal or something appetizing to make for an outdoor BBQ with warmer weather.

There are so many ways to add a flavor boost to burgers; the tips and tricks seem endless.

The flavor boost I give to these burgers is simple to let a tablespoon of my homemade steak seasoning in the burger patty right before you put it into shape to grill. Each bite is extra juicy. 

 

The Choice of Meat

The choice of meat is flexible, but for beef, the portion should be 80 % lean and 20% fat.

The Seasoning

The amount of seasoning will depend on the amount of the meat and the seasoning used.

Equally sized

Divide the mixture into four equal-sized, meat pucks about 2 1/2 inches thick.
