Hamburger full Recipe

Hamburger full Recipe

  • in English

Ingredients:

For the Patties:

  • 1 pound (450g) ground beef (80% lean)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 hamburger buns

For the Toppings (adjust to your preference):

  • Lettuce leaves
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Sliced red onions
  • Pickles
  • Cheese slices (American, cheddar, or your choice)
  • Ketchup and mustard

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Patties:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Gently mix the ingredients until they are just combined. Be careful not to overwork the meat, as it can make the burgers tough.
  • Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties, slightly larger than the hamburger buns to account for shrinkage during cooking.
  • Use your thumb to create a small dimple in the center of each patty. This helps the patties cook evenly and prevents them from puffing up too much.

2. Cook the Patties:

  • Preheat a grill or stovetop skillet over medium-high heat. If using a grill, make sure it’s well-oiled to prevent sticking.
  • Place the burger patties on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness.
  • In the last minute of cooking, add a slice of cheese to each patty, if desired. Cover the grill or skillet to help the cheese melt.

3. Toast the Buns:

  • While the patties are cooking, split the hamburger buns in half.
  • Lightly toast the inside of the buns on the grill or in a toaster until they’re golden brown.

4. Assemble the Burgers:

  • Start by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. This helps prevent the bun from getting soggy.
  • Add a cooked patty with melted cheese on top of the lettuce.
  • Layer on the sliced tomatoes, red onions, and pickles.
  • Squirt ketchup and mustard (or your preferred condiments) on the top bun.
  • Place the top bun on the assembled ingredients to complete the burger.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

Your homemade hamburgers are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them with your favorite side dishes like french fries, coleslaw, or a fresh salad.
