Delicious Beef Burgers

Making delicious beef burgers at home is so easy and so much fun. My son loves his burgers. Any time I ask him what he would like for dinner, his response, more often than not, is “Burgers!” It was starting to get expensive to buy him burgers every week, and I had to learn to make good burgers. Now we all enjoy these mouthwatering delicious beef burgers at home although I specifically, make them to his liking.

Making the Beef Burger Patties

In order to make good beef burgers, we need to start with making delicious patties:

• Firstly, finely chop one small red onion.
• Secondly, seed and finely chop one jalapeno chili pepper.
• Then, in a large mixing bowl, combine
  • 2 pounds of ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon of dehydrated parsley
  • 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup of Italian breadcrumbs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • and 1 whole egg.
• Combine and mix the ingredients well, so that the spices mix evenly with the beef and the patties taste good with every bite.

Making the Delicious Beef Burgers

Now that the ground beef mixture is ready, we can start making the patties:

• Divide the mix into 6 even balls and press them to form 6 patties.
• If you prefer bigger patties you can make 4 instead of 6. We like thin patties, so I make 6. You can make them as thick or thin as you like.
• One thing to note is that the patties shrink once cooked – the juices from the beef ooze out and dry as the patty cooks.

Baking the Delicious Beef Burgers

I like to bake my burger patties during the winter months when the barbeque is out of commission. To do that:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Line a 9x 13 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place a cookie rack on the parchment paper. I place the patties on a cookie rack because this allows the juices from the burgers to flow out and not make the bottom of the patties soggy. It also gives them the illusion of having been cooked on a barbecue because it leaves lines on the burgers as the barbecue does.
• Finally, bake them for about 15 – 20 mins (depending on how rare or well done you like them). We like our patties well done, so I cook them for about 20 mins. Each oven is different so baking times differ a little bit.

Resting the Delicious Burger Patties

Once the delicious beef burgers are ready, turn the oven off and remove them. Let them sit on the rack for about 2 mins. While the burgers are resting, put your buns in the still hot oven and warm or toast them a bit.

Serving Suggestions

Once they are done resting, serve these mouthwatering delicious beef burgers on the toasted bun with all your favourite toppings.

• I fry up some red onions and mushrooms to top the burgers and serve them with freshly home baked fries or sweet potato fries.

Can I freeze Beef Burger Patties?

Yes! I love making a large batch and freezing the burger patties for another day.

• Wrap each beef patty in plastic wrap or wax paper.
• Place them in a container.
• Freeze them for up to 1 month.
