Best
Burger
By: Anthony Spears
INGREDIENTS
24 ounces ground chuck (6 ounces per burger) (we used BelCampo ground chuck)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp onion powder
4 buns (or use lettuce such as Romaine for bun-free burgers
2 T butter
Sliced cheese (optional)
Lettuce, Tomato, Onion (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- Divide the meat into 4 balls. Use the palm of your hand to
press down on each of the balls to form a patty. Press both
thumbs gently into the middle of each patty to make a small
indentation. This helps keep the burger flat when it
cooks.
- Sprinkle the burgers with the salt, pepper, and onion
powder.
- Open the buns, if you are using them, and spread butter on each
side with a butter knife. Heat a skillet over medium-high
heat.
- Place the buns, two at a time, open side down, in the skillet
and toast for 2-3 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and
slightly crispy. Remove the skillet from the stovetop and, using a
spatula, transfer the buns to a heatproof plate. Put the plate in a
warm oven to keep the buns from getting cold.
- Place the burgers in the skillet (two at a time if there isn’t
enough room to cook all of them at once) and cook them for about 4
minutes on each side over medium-high heat. Flip the burgers when
the edges start to turn brown and juices build up in the
indentations that you’ve made. Flip and cook the other side
of the burgers for about 4 more minutes. Add a slice of
cheese to each of the burgers and leave on heat until melted. Using
oven mitts, take the skillet off the heat and let the burgers sit
for about 5 minutes while you make the secret yum sauce.
- Serve burger on a bun with Secret Yum Sauce and
other toppings like onions, tomatoes, and lettuce. (Anthony’s
family loves adding bacon!)
