Homemade cheeseburger

Meat - Homemade cheeseburger by Adriana H. - Recipia

A homemade cheeseburger has a grilled beef patty, melted Cheddar and crisp vegetables in a soft bun. Mustard, ketchup and a little hot sauce go into the meat, and yogurt mayonnaise is spread inside the bun. I shape the patties to about the same thickness so they cook evenly. Prep: 20 minutes. Cook: 9 minutes. Total time: 29 minutes. Servings: 4. About 420 kcal and 28 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

For the patties

  • 300 g ground beef with no more than 10% fat
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce

For assembly

  • 4 slices Cheddar cheese
  • 4 burger buns
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons yogurt mayonnaise
  • 4 tablespoons ketchup
  • 60 g pickles cut into strips
  • 1 medium tomato (150 g) sliced
  • 1/3 medium onion (50 g) cut into strips
  • 20 g lettuce leaves

Preparation

1. Mix the ground beef well with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard, breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon ketchup, the egg and hot sauce. 2. Divide the mixture into 4 patties and place them on the hot grill. Cook for 6 minutes, then flip and cook for 3 minutes more, until browned and they reach 71°C in the center. 3. Put a slice of Cheddar on each patty as soon as you take them off the grill. 4. Spread the inside of the buns with the yogurt mayonnaise. Add the remaining ketchup, pickles, tomatoes, onion, lettuce leaves and patties in whatever order you like.

Notes

Cooked patties keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store the buns and vegetables separately, then heat the meat before assembling. I get the toppings ready while the grill heats up, so I can assemble the burgers as soon as the meat is done. Choose ground beef with no more than 10% fat. Fattier beef will leave more grease on the grill. The patties can fall apart if the mixture is overworked, so mix just until it holds together. You can swap the Cheddar for 4 slices of American cheese. The buns contain gluten, and the egg and cheese contribute eggs and dairy. Serve with baked potatoes or a green salad.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use ground turkey?

Yes, but cook the patties until they reach 74°C in the center, since ground poultry needs to be cooked all the way through.

How do I cook them if I don't have a grill?

Use a very hot frying pan and cook the patties for about 4 minutes per side, until browned.

What should I do if the mixture is too soft?

Mix in another 1 teaspoon of breadcrumbs briefly, then shape the patties.
