Burger Cooking Tips and Ideas

ground beef
seasonings
other ingredients,

Adding a tablespoon or two of vegetable oil per pound to ground sirloin or round will replenish the moisture and some of the fat.
Use coarsely ground meat (rather than finely ground) for moister burgers.

Lightly mix ground meat with other ingredients. Over-mixing results in dense, heavy burgers.

Wet hands with a little water to keep the mixture from sticking when you form your patties.

Add a few tablespoons of tomato or vegetable juice to each pound of ground beef for extra flavor and juiciness.

When freezing patties, raw or cooked, separate with squares of plastic wrap.

Add minced leftover vegetables to the meat mixture.

For a smoky flavor add 1/4 cup diced cooked bacon or ham before forming into patties.

Dip patties in beaten egg, then in bread or cracker crumbs for "chicken-fried" burgers.

Try different toppings and sauces such as sautéed onions, bell peppers, sautéed mushrooms, chile peppers, guacamole, barbecue sauce, chili, cooked bacon strips, salsa.
