Easy and Delicious Hamburger Patties
Change up your next burger night with these easy and flavorful patties that are anything but basic!
Ingredients
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¾ teaspoon garlic granules
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ¾ teaspoon paprika option to use smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoon oat flour/meal I use blended rolled oats
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup chopped fresh curly parsley option to replace with kale or cilantro
- ¼ cup diced onion yellow or purple
- ½ teaspoon liquid smoke
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl add all ingredients together. Gently combine with your hands or a fork. Don't overwork the mix.
- Let mixture chill in the fridge for at least 10 minutes to season. If you don't have time you can skip this part but it does increase the flavors.
- Divide mixture into 4 equal portions. Using your hands form each patty until it's about 4 ½"-5" in diameter. The patties will shrink some when cooked so keep that in mind when choosing your size.
- On the stovetop, heat skillet to low-medium heat. Lightly spray with olive oil. Grill each burger for about 3-5 minutes per side (covering skillet) depending on how done you prefer your patties. Don't press down on tops of patties with a spatula as they cook, you will lose a lot of juice and flavor doing so.
- These go great with my Soft Burger Buns, a lettuce wrap, or try with a tortilla.
