My life was made complete a few weeks ago with a brand new barbecue, and we aren't even close to being finished exploring all the options that are now available to us. Kebobs, steak, hot dogs, and burgers now make a regular appearance on our table. But freezer box-brand burgers leave a lot wanting, and I wanted to create a simple burger patty recipe that can be frozen for future use.
Cheap and easy, these burgers go from prep to grill in no time!
Basic Beef Burger Recipe
Ingredients:
2 lbs lean ground beef
1 egg
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp salt
a few grinds of black pepper
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix the beef, egg, and spices until well combined.
Form the beef mixture into disc-shaped patties, about 10-15 cm (4-5 inches) wide, and 2.5 cm thick (1.5 inches). Press a section into the middle of the burger with your thumb for even cooking.
Cook on medium-high for 6-7 minutes each side.
If freezing, place wax or parchment paper and stack in a freezer-friendly container or bag.
