how do i make a burger patty?

Question

here's a simple question for cooks. i'm just gonna make burgers tonight and yeah the whole ground beef flatten it up fry thing..but..i just wanted to know..if you season it at all or what do people put on it? just cook the meat plain? or do they add like salt and pepper or whatevers?

Answer 1

usually I will add a marinade to it like how you would use for a steak. Or if I don't have any marinade I will use salt, pepper, and seasoning salt.

Answer 2

I have never liked the way my hamburgers turn out, always seem kind of dry and blah. On the other hand, I love my meatloaf recipe, so I decided to experiment and make "meatloaf burgers". lol So to the hamburger I added oatmeal, an egg, and milk. Oh, and onion salt. (The last time I used bread crumbs instead of the oatmeal.) Just throw it all together in a bowl and mix it up, make it into patties, and fry. It may seem kind of weird, but I think the burgers do taste better than any I made with just plain hamburger.

Answer 3

I just add some finely chopped onion and some "jamaican jerk" seasoning or salt and pepper or whatever your fave seasoning is. I just squeeze them into burger shapes and fry them or grill them like any other. A health grill cooks them nicely.Keep them as "pure" as you can.

Answer 4

I put worchester sauce in the meat before i make the patties , they come out very good

Answer 5

Tony Chachere's. 'nuff said.

Oh, and grill over mesquite.
