Homemade Hamburger Patties

Homemade hamburger patties are easy to prepare and incredibly delicious. Without a word of a lie, this recipe produces one of the most delicious patties I have ever tasted.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds of ground beef or chicken
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon of worcestershire sauce
• 2 to 3 cloves of garlic, crushed
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon of milk
• 4 to 5 drops of Tabasco sauce
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• pinch of salt
• 1/3 tsp of pepper

Method:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, worcestershire sauce, egg, milk, onion, and Tabasco sauce. Using your hands or a wooden spoon, mix all the ingredients until they are well combined. I find it best to use my hands because I can massage all the ingredients into the meat thoroughly.
• Pick up a good handful of the mixture ( about 1/5 or 1/4 of it) and roll into a ball. Using the palm of your hand, press down on the top of the ball and make it into a disk. Using your fingers, smooth and shape the outside edges until it is perfectly round.
• Preheated a pan over medium-high heat and add some cooking oil to it. Place the burger patties in and cook them on each side for about two to three minutes. This will cook your burgers to medium.Of course, the cooking time will vary according to the thickness of your burger.
• Place your homemade hamburger patties on a toasted bun, topped with your favorite condiments, serve, and enjoy.
