Home Made Hamburger Buns
making burgers at home is way easier that you think, and way more delicious.
Equipment
- 1 Bowl
- 1 Barbeque
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1 lb Ground Pork Chuck
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup panko or bread crumbs
- 1 tbsp Horseradish
- 1 tbsp Minced Garlic
- ½ tbsp Dill Weed
- ½ tbsp Parsley flakes
- ½ tbsp Chives
- ½ tbsp Rosemary
- ½ tbsp Onion powder
- ½ tbsp Celery seed
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
Instructions
- In a large bowl add ground beef and pork chuck. if using frozen meat make sure the meat has thawed out completely before starting.
- Add 2 eggs and all the seasonings you want. I rarely use measuring spoons for this type of recipe. you really need to measure with your heart. I have included measurements as a suggestion.
- using your clean bare hands mix and squish all the ingredients together. making sure the seasonings are well distributed throughout.
- flatten the meat into the bowl and using your hand make division marks in a pie shape on the top of the meat to help divide the mixture evenly.
- remove each section and shape and flatten into a burger shape. make the burger flatter and larger in diameter than how large you want to end result to be. the meat will shrink and get taller while cooking on the BBQ.
- Press a thumbprint into the middle of each burger so it doesn't puff up too much in the middle.
- place burgers on a plate and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Warm up the BBQ to medium heat. once the grill is warmed up delicately place the burgers directly on the grill.
- allow the burgers to cook about halfway through. You can see the color change on the meat on the sides of the burger. once the color has reached the midpoint, using a spatula turn burger 90 degrees to make a crosshatch on the burger.
- Cook for a while longer then flip the burger.
- Cook burgers to the desired amount and follow safe food guidelines. moving the burgers around to ensure they do not stick and do not overcook.
- place on a burger bun add desired toppings and enjoy.
Notes
My measurements and seasoning are only a suggestion. I rarely use measuring spoons when making burgers but have included them as a guideline. be sure to measure with your heart.
