How to make hamburgers? Some people like to make things very complicated. I prefer to make them simpler, especially when it comes to homemade hamburgers. What could be more simple than a no frills, nothing but salt and pepper added hamburger? This makes a great homemade hamburger recipe, but flavorful meat is a must. This will make 4 hamburgers. Here we go. Basic ingredients:
- 1 lb ground sirloin steak
- pinch of salt
- dash of pepper
That is it. Nothing else. Use your hands to shape the ground beef into a ball, heat a cast iron skillet on the stove with a splash of oil. When the skillet is hot, add the four balls of ground beef, and using a spatula to squash them flat, cook for around 2 minutes each side depending on how well done you like them. Homemade burgers in under 5 minutes. Seeing as you are cooking them at home you can tell the Government Inc to go screw – and if you like them rare – cook them rare.
I prefer to remove the meat, and then quickly butter the buns and fry them in the skillet until brown – only on the inside of the buns. Serve with lettuce, tomato, a slice of raw onion and mustard and ketchup. Or if the mood takes me, with a dollop of ketchup, and sliced pickles and chopped raw onion. But if you prefer them some other way – then that is the way to serve them.
