Notes
- Dampen your hands with cold water before shaping the patties to stop them from sticking to your hands.
- You can chill the burgers in the fridge until you are ready to cook them.
- Make sure your skillet is nice and hot before frying so you get that delicious sear on the burger.
- If you're not sure that your burgers are cooked all the way through you can use a meat thermometer to check that the meat reaches 165F.
- If you want to cook these burgers on the outside grill make sure to preheat the grill and brush the patties with olive oil so they don't stick. I also recommend chilling the burger so they firm up until you are ready to cook them.
- Toppings - here are some delicious toppings you might want to try; pickles, tomato, lettuce, red onion, avocado, Jalapeno, mustard, ketchup, BBQ sauce, cheese, garlic mayo, relish.
- If you want to add melted cheese add a slice on the burger 5 minutes before the end of cooking so the cheese melts.
- For a lower-carb option, you can serve these with lettuce buns instead of bread.
- These burgers are best served immediately when they are extra juicy.
- Storage - cooked burgers will keep for 3-4 days in the fridge or can be frozen. Thaw before reheating.
- Nutritional information does not include the bun.
