Notes
- Go easy with the mixing. Just like muffins, you don't want to overmix!
- Use a scale to measure your patties - you want them all the same size!
- Get the best quality ingredients you can find. Bright red tomatoes. Crisp lettuce. Thick cut cheddar. Fresh onions. Fresh hamburger buns.
- Keep things really cold. Burgers fall apart if they get too warm before cooking, so keep em in the fridge til you're ready to make dinner.
- When you add your patties to a grill or skillet - don't squish them. You want them to keep all that moisture in, not press it out!
