Violas Hamburger Patties Recipes

Steps:

• Sometimes I vary the seasonings- using a steak seasoning or Cajun seasoning instead of salt and pepper.
• Mix ingredients with your hands using a light touch.
• Don't be tempted to overmix.
• If you do, it becomes too dense.
• When charcoal grilling, add 1/2 cup water to the beef mixture to keep it from drying out.
• For pan frying, don't use a nonstick pan- it won't brown as well, and heat some oil in the pan before adding burgers to keep the burgers from sticking and to help sear and form a nice brown, crispy exterior.
• Either method will take about 10- 12 minutes of cooking time, depending on thickness of patty, temperature of heat source and your preference (we like ours medium cooked).
• Note: when pan-frying don't be tempted to press down and squeeze all the juice out, just turn them more often (turn only once on the grill).

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix together ground round, beaten eggs, onions, soda crackers, garlic powder, salt, pepper and barbecue sauce. Mix until well incorporated.
• Weigh out hamburger patties to 6 - 7 ounce each.
• Press together and flatten to about 3 1/2" in diameter or use a mold.
• The patties should be about 3/4" thick.
• Using a round wooden spoon handle (about 1/4" round), make a hole in the center of the hamburger pattie.
• In a frying pan over medium-high heat, heat olive oil.
• Place 3 patties into the hot oil and fry for about 2 to 3 minutes, the hole will begin to close.
• Turn patty over and continue to fry for about 2 to 3 minutes.
• The hole that was made in the pattie will fill in when the hamburger is cooked through properly.
• Check for doneness to make sure there is no pink showing.
• NOTE: If the burger mixture does not hold together when squeezed, add some milk and mix to blend.
• Serve in a nice large bun that is warmed and buttered with a spread of mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, a slice of sweet onion, a slice of a large tomato, and a leaf of lettuce.
• A slice of Swiss cheese layered on the burger patty is great.
• A pickle of your choice adds an additional touch.
• Fry some mushrooms and spread some over the top of the bun.
• Fried caramalized onions are a good added touch.
• This makes a fantastic hamburger.

Steps:

• Mince the onion finely.
• Add ground beef, flour, egg, salt and pepper.
• Mix well.
• Form into patties.
• Pan fry until patties reach desired doneness.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients together.
• Form 4-6 equal size pattys.
• Grill on outdoor grill or indoor grill like a George Foreman.
• You may freeze these made from fresh ground meat patties for a convient meal in a rush. No need to defrost just grill approximately 10 minute on an indoor grill.

Steps:

• Mix ingredients and form into hamburger patties. Place on cookie sheets in two layers (with wax paper between) and freeze.

Steps:

• Cut onions finely and put in a large stainless steel bowl with mince.
• Combine all ingredients with the mince and mix well with hands.
• Put in the fridge for an hour or so.
• Make hamburger patties to size that suits you --
• Fry over fairly high heat on bar BQ or in Fry pan with a little olive oil.
• Cook until patties are cooked through.
• You can also add Brie Cheese inside each pattie just before cooking them!
