Ingredients for Amazing Burgers

  • 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend recommended)
  • Onions
  • Garlic
  • Parsley
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Cooking Spray
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Pepper

How to Make Amazing Burgers

  1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except the ground beef: (Add specific measurements here based on desired burger quantity. Example: 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add to the bowl.
  3. Add 1.5 lbs ground beef, breaking it into small pieces, to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Shape the mixture into a dense log. Cut the log into 6 equal portions for uniform patties.
  5. Gently form each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick.
  6. Lightly spray each patty with cooking spray. Season generously with salt and pepper, gently patting the seasoning into the patties.
  7. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. (Optional: Lightly toast burger buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes per side).
  8. Grill the patties for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for your desired doneness. Add cheese during the last minute of cooking.
  9. Serve immediately on toasted buns with your favorite toppings and burger sauce.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
