Best Hamburger Recipe

This is the best hamburger recipe I've found. Want to know how to make hamburgers? This recipe is it. Not only is it easy, but they taste like real German hamburgers.

Moist and flavorful, quick and easy! Hamburgers done on the BBQue or stove, grilled or broiled, -- they all use the same recipe. And what do they taste best with? Potato Salad, of course.

Try either the traditional German Cold Potato Salad or the extra quick Easy Potato Salad that can be served hot, warm, or cold and is ready within 30 minutes to go along with this quick hamburger recipe.

You'll notice this is very similar to the Quick Meatloaf recipe, and that's because, when you have a great recipe, you try to make the most of it. If fact, I use the same recipe when making meatballs.

You can easily double and triple the recipe. Below, this quick hamburger recipe uses 1 lb. of ground beef. I prefer lean ground beef, but you can use a regular grind and/or a mixture of beef, pork, or veal.

The picture shows these hamburgers being served with potato salad using regular and sweet potatoes. A real treat as well. Check the hints below for variations on this basic "how to make hamburgers" recipe. Also check out Rich's techniques for making the best hamburger recipe for his "sweetie".

How to Make Hamburgers

Ingredients:

1 lb. lean ground beef
1 egg
1/2 small onion, chopped (optional)
1/4 cup bread crumbs
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Instructions:

Gently mix all ingredients in a large bowl.
Shape into patties (3 or 4 depending on size wanted)
Either BBQ, grill, broil, or use skillet. Use olive oil to grease the skillet or racks first.
Cook according to your preference, at about 6 minutes per side or until done.
For traditional German hamburgers, (actually the BEST hamburger recipe!) brown both sides in a skillet. Cover and continue to simmer for about 15 minutes on medium heat, turning occasionally.

Hints:

Add 1/4 cup ketchup, BBQue sauce, or mustard to meat mixture
Add 1/2 cup cubed cheese (cheddar)
Try different seasonings to find your favorite
