The quality of the hamburger meat is key to the best burger. We buy ours at Sam’s. When we first bought the hamburger there, I couldn’t believe there could be such a huge difference in flavor, but there is. Buy the best you can.
Best Burger Ever
Ingredients
- 1 pound hamburger meat
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 medium onion
- 1 egg
- Buns or Bread
- Butter for toasting buns or bread
Directions
First, place the pound of hamburger meat in a bowl and sprinkle with one teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of pepper, and one-quarter teaspoon of garlic powder. Add one small egg or just the yolk of a large egg.
Then, grate a third to half of a medium-sized onion and add to the meat and seasoning. (Cut the rest of the onion into slices and set aside.) Mix together gently. Shape the patties into squares to match the bread pieces.
Preheat your skillet or grill. When your skillet or grill is hot and ready, place the patties on it and cook to desired doneness. When the patties are done on one side, put the onions around the outside of the pan to cook. Another option is to use a separate skillet to cook them or wait until the burgers are done and use the same skillet. When Dave grills the burgers, I usually cook the onions in a skillet on the stove.
While the burgers are cooking, spread softened butter on the hamburger buns or on both sides of pieces of bread and toast in a skillet. You don’t have to do this, but it makes the sandwich so much better!
When the burgers are done, place a piece of buttery toasted bread or bun on two plates, add a cooked patty to each, pile on cooked onions, and top with another piece of bread.
The meat we get from Sam’s usually is 90% lean, has very little grease, and there is no need to drain after cooking.
