Hamburger

As with most things, when it comes to choosing the best hamburger recipe going, the answer is quite simple – it all depends on your personal taste. And, more often than not, this tends to be something unique to your particular region, if not to your own household.

The best homemade hamburger recipe can be as simple as mixing together lean minced beef with a finely-chopped onion, raw egg yolk, salt, pepper and two tablespoons of vegetable oil. This is the most basic of hamburger recipes, but it’s undoubtedly somebody’s favorite – especially when you add French fries, pickles, tomato slices, mustard and ketchup. Delicious!

Needless to say, you’ll find hundreds – if not thousands of hamburger recipes out there – and they’re all loved and considered to be the “best” by someone on this planet. Here is just one of them.

Homemade Hamburger Recipe

You need to start with one to one and a half pounds of freshly minced meat. The ideal hamburger recipe requires a proportion of about twenty percent fat in order to flavor the meat and make it moist and not too dry. So, the ideal choice of meat would be half beef steak and half pork – the pork providing that essential fat.

One important fact about this recipe is that you shouldn’t over mix the meat, because the heat from your hands, as well as the mixing process itself, will start to break down some of the fat, and this should really only happen during the cooking process.

Now that you have the meat ready, here are the rest of the ingredients:
1 small onion, which you’ll want to chop as finely as humanly possible
1 tbsp of tomato ketchup
1 tbsp of soy sauce
1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp of thyme, although fresh thyme would be ideal you can use dried thyme
a good pinch of salt and some freshly ground black pepper

Once you’ve mixed all the ingredients together, form patties around half an inch thick, and bring your grill up to a medium to high heat. Cook the patties or hamburgers for around three minutes on each side. Once the six minutes are up, check the hamburgers to ensure that they’re cooked to your personal taste and done as you like.

You’re not finished yet! Once the hamburgers are cooked to your preference, leave them on a warm plate covered with aluminum foil to rest for about three minutes. This allows all those wonderful juices to be reabsorbed into the meat. Only after the three minutes are up can you serve these great hamburgers!

The Diversity of American Hamburgers

For more years than anyone of us can remember the hamburger has been a staple part of American – and worldwide – cuisine. Indeed, we know that the Salisbury steak – a derivation on the hamburger theme – has been with us since at least 1897, giving an idea of how long the original concept has been in existence. That there are so many recipes using hamburger meat or hamburgers themselves is testament to the versatility of this much favored ingredient, and the list of ways of cooking hamburger is growing all the time.

From the classic hamburger – the minced beef patties cooked with or without onions, served in a soft bun or with mash and gravy – to more spicy versions of the standard burger there is much in the way of variety. Popular options are spicy hamburgers using peppers, adding tomato or garlic for taste, the universally popular cheeseburger and more, but it is perhaps the diversity in recipes using hamburger meat that is most interesting.

From casseroles to curries via chilies and hash there is so much you can do with hamburger. It makes a perfect accompaniment to many rice dishes and is perfect for pasta – an ingredient often used to add texture – and when mixed with herbs such as basil can take on a completely different taste.

Many prefer to cook hamburger with onions and tomatoes – an Italian style of dish that can be very tasty indeed – but others find they like their hamburgers as just that, a burger, preferably cooked on an outdoor grill and absolutely delicious with tomato sauce, gravy or a touch of English mustard.

You will find many recipes using hamburger that are simple, affordable and very filling indeed, and with reduced fat from quality ground beef can also be very healthy indeed. That’s the beauty of the good old hamburger – it has so many uses!
