What ingredients do you need to make a hamburger at home?

The secret of the incredibly juicy burger patties is the addition of crushed crackers or panko bread crumbs to keep the fat in the natural fat and juice.

If you have crackers we definitely recommend using them. Adding crushed crackers is an old way of adding more flavor than plain bread crumbs. Also, it is very easy to use this package of crackers that you have been sitting in the pantry for weeks.

Here's what you need to make the best homemade hamburger patties:

1. 1.      Ground Chuck: We prefer an 80 lean / 20 fat ratio for the juiciest burgers.
2. 2.      Crushed crackers or Panko bread crumbs: the perfect binder for a juicy hamburger.
3. 3.      Worcestershire Sauce: Adds a deep fleshy, smoky flavor.
4. 4.      Eggs: bind all the ingredients together without drying.
5. 5.      Milk: Enzymes help soften and soften ground beef.
6. 6.      Spices: Salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, or other spices of choice.

Adding dry spices instead of fresh herbs to the hamburger mix helps save time and adds a lot of flavor to the patties. For example, you could add red chili flakes for a spicy burger, a little cumin and chili powder for a southwestern cut, or parsley and lentils for a Mediterranean flavor.

How to make the perfect burger every time?

It only takes a few minutes seriously to make a restaurant-quality hamburger from scratch. Prepare your workspace and components before you begin, and you'll be removing hot plates from your home kitchen (or backyard) in no time!

Here's how:

First, take out a large mixing bowl and add ground beef, crushed crackers, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, milk, and spices.

Use your hands to blend well until the mixture is very smooth.

After that, press the meat into an equal disc in the bowl. Use a knife to cut and divide the hamburger patty mixture into 6 - 1/3pound grill or skeletal patties or 12 thin griddle patties. Such:

Set a baking sheet with wax paper or foil to hold the patties. At one point, assemble the patty mix and press firmly into patties of your desired thickness. You usually want the hamburger patties to be slightly larger than the bunnies they will be served because they will shrink a bit during the cooking process.

Place the prepared patties on a baking sheet. With thick patties, press a dent in the middle of each patty, so that they are not puffy when cooking.

If needed, you can stack the patties between the layers with sheets of wax paper.

Next, preheat the grill or frying pan over medium heat, to about 350-400 degrees F.

Ingredients

•      2pound ground chuck
•      ½ Cup crushed salty crackers or pancake bread crumbs
•      1 large egg
•      2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
•      2 tablespoons milk
•      1 teaspoon salt
•      1 teaspoon garlic powder
•      1 teaspoon onion powder
•       Half a teaspoon of pepper

Instructions:

1.      Take out a large mixing bowl. Add ground beef, crushed crackers, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, milk, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Mix by hand until the meat mixture is smooth, but stop when the mixture looks even. (Excessive mixing can lead to dense textures.)

2.      Press the meat down into the bowl. Use a knife to cut and divide the hamburger patty mixture into 6 - 1/3pound grill or skeletal patties or 12 thin griddle patties.

3.      Set a baking sheet with wax paper or foil to hold the patties. At one point, collect the patty mix and press it firmly into the patties. Due to the shrinkage during cooking, make them slightly larger than the bunnies you intend to use. Set the patties on a baking sheet. Use a spoon to press a dent in the center of each patty so that they do not bloom when cooked. If you need to stack the belts, separate them with a sheet of wax paper.

4.      Preheat the grill or frying pan over medium heat. (Approximately 350-400 degrees F.)

5.      For thick patties: Grill or fry the patties on each side for 3-4 minutes.

6.      For thin patties: Cook on the grill for 2 minutes per side.

7.      Stack hot patties on the hamburger bun and top with your favorite hamburger toppings. Serve hot.

Can you bake them in the oven?

When you make hamburger patties, you should use more heat to form an outer crust. Set the oven to 450 degrees F and place the baking sheet in the oven so that it heats up like a grill. Once hot, transfer the patties to a hot pan. If making thin patties, bake/roast on each side for 2-3 minutes. If you are making thick patties, bake/roast for 5-6 minutes on each side.
