Hamburgers - The American Meal. Come on Dad you need to have a special hamburger recipe or least one that only you take the time to mix up and grill outside. This one is not for cooking inside, this is an outside on the grill only recipe.
I stole this idea from an article about meatloaf. The experts say that the best meatloaf combines three different meats. I don't recall all the reasons and I don't want to search for the article. You can do that if you want. Maybe sometime later I will search and update this article with the link.
Anyway, after making these burgers many times here is my recipe:
4 lbs ground meat
1/2 lb of ground lamb*
1/2 lb of ground pork
- Mix the meat together in a large bowl and use your hands. Your kids will want to do the mixing for your. I suggest you let them. It is fun for them and cleaner for you
- Weigh out 1/3 lbs (5.3 ounces) of meat and roll into a ball. Weigh meat on a scale.
- Gently mash round blob of meat into a patty. I place the blob on a small plate and mash with my palm
- Place patties on a tray. I separate the layers of patties with plastic wrap.
- Store in refrigerator until ready for use.
- Grill over medium heat until they are at your preferred doneness (my word)
- Add cheese for a minute or less at the end of grilling
