patty is such a fucking stupid word lmao

[Anonymous No.10244711]

Don't mix. Pack and season how you like. The works preferred because tri-veg enhances all things.

[Anonymous No.10244713]

So do you just throw fucking raw ground beef in a pan or fucking what. You are just referring to toppings you lazy fuck. Why shit up the board with this.

I mix up ground chuck 80/20 with a dab of worcestershire sauce and onion salt, loosely ball them up and fucking smash them with a spatula in a cast iron pan. then I add salt and ground peppercorn to the raw side before I flip them. I wait 45 seconds, add cheese to each PATTY, wait for it to melt then they're ready to be served. I also toast the bun. lettuce is good but I can go without it

[Anonymous No.10244771]

>>10244726
Ok thats better thank you. I use Italian breadcrumbs and red pepper flakes. Ill give worchester a shot its just that it can overpower if you add just a bit too much.

[Anonymous No.10244799]

>>10244771
the sauce can be overpowering that's why I only do 3-5 squirts out of the bottle for one serving. I feel it's more even that way. red pepper flake sounds good, never thought of that in a burger before. I love it in Italian food though

Why don't you just mix up a big vat of fail sauce and put that on your burger instead

I guess I got mixing condiments from a local chicken place, I like it. plus I add the paprika and I think it's better mixed with something instead of adding it dry to the burger, so I mix it all together. maybe I could just add it to the mayonnaise or mustard?

[Anonymous No.10245637]

depends.
I always start off by lightly buttering a pan
fry bacon with garlic and onion powder, and a lot of pepper, keep rendered fat in pan.
garlic powder, onion powder, peppper and a little salt on two patties. both sides
cook them in the bacon drippings till medium rare
if i just want something greasy and good i usually put a slice of cheddar on one patty, swiss on the other, and gouda on bottom. with a garlic aoli and maybe some onions and bacon on bottom.
if i want a more traditional burger i use lettuce, tomato, raw onions, and ketchup and mayo and gouda and cheddar, and finally bacon on top of the patty.
i toast the buns and lightly butter them regardless.
When i make burgers they are super unhealthy so i do it rarely.

You mix them in with the meat in a bowl then form the patties from it. You also need egg in there as a bonding agent. If this sounds like making meatloaf that's because it's literally the same, I think it's a thing in the UK to make burgers like this because their ground beef is made out of horses or some shit

[Anonymous No.10245900]

In my opinion the secret to a great burger is not to overdo it on the meat. There's a ratio between meant, bun, and toppings. In the US we tend to think of meat as the star of the show, but an excellent burger is more than the sum of it's parts. There's a righteous harmony between the three.

[Anonymous No.10245966]

>>10245896
Horse is a lean meat, you're right. Little bit of tenderizer and even a touch of MSG makes it just right, I'd say.

[Anonymous No.10246014]

Cheese, lettuce, tomato and pickle on a slightly stale poppy seed bun. No onions. Onions suck as do all people who like them.

When I was cutting I got shredded like a god damned work of art eating a burger I'd make on the grill every night. This was my favorite:
1/2 of 80/20 or Bison
A slice of White American Cheese
A roasted Jalapeno
A little mixture of mayo and the black bottle El Yucateco habanero salsa

[Anonymous No.10247894]

I made mine with pork mince because it was all I had but I filled the inside with cheddar.

I understand that American English is a shit language that describes shit food with shit words, but now you ruin your burgers by squeezing the meat too?

The US was a mistake, I blame the brits

For me, it's a Big Mac from McDonald's with fresh crispy fries and an ice cold Coca-Cola.

[Anonymous No.10248107]

I just throw some ground beef in a pan, maybe put some salt on it. I like how it tastes. Yes, I know I can make it taste much better, but I'm worried if I open myself up to that new world of flavor I'm not going to be able to go back which will be a pain in the ass if I'm forced to.

[Anonymous No.10248176]

crushing the meat on one side in a cast iron pan that's nice and hot creates a brown crust from the fat releasing on the underside, but it doesn't escape from the burger. adds some texture and nice flavor and it still retains the juiciness any respectful burger should have.

The key to a good burger is keeping it juicy inside, smashed patties dry out quickly and are only good if you're larping as some faggoty New York hipster chef.

The issue with this is that you aren't really making a burger. You are making an individual meatloaf sandwich. Mixing salt, egg, and breadcrumb into the meat seriously messes with the texture. Kenji did a test of it here: https://aht.seriouseats.com/2009/12/the-burger-lab-salting-ground-beef.html
Don't get me wrong, I love a good meatloaf sandwich, especially with day-old meatloaf, dijon mustard, and caramalized onions. I just isn't a burger.
