Juiciest Burger You’ll Ever Eat

Written by Debi32 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Make this burger recipe and there will be no complaints in your house!   The juiciest and most flavorful burgers I’ve ever had.  Juicest Burger Ever 720x1009 - Juiciest Burger You'll Ever Eat

I take my burgers very seriously, maybe a little too seriously.

You see I was always the one who made ‘just ok’ burgers.
They were good.  They were ok.  But I wanted more.

I wanted to make an EPIC burger but I also wanted a burger with FLAVOR.
A LOT of flavor.

And juicy.  It couldn’t be dry like a hockey puck.

So how did I do this you ask?

Well for starters, like I said, I wanted a burger with flavor which meant I needed to add some spices.   There is some garlic in there, some Worcestershire sauce for a little kick and some egg, milk and breadcrumbs.

Now one might think, “well that sounds a little like a meatloaf” but trust me on this, its a burger and it tastes like a burger!

 

HOW TO MAKE A GREAT BURGER:

  1. What makes THIS burger a memorable burger is in the spices.  Without them the burger can be bland and boring.  There is a nice mix in this recipe.  The cayenne pepper is not overpowering I promise.  People freak out when they see cayenne pepper but I urge you to put it in these burgers.
  2. I know the world is very concerned with lean beef and my next sentence may not be my most popular but I choose 80% ground beef when I make burgers.  You see in order for a burger NOT to be a hockey puck it needs fat.  It’s just the way it is.  However, if you go fattier than 80% then you run into the problem of there being TOO MUCH fat and the burger will shrink up like a meatball.
  3. The next tip I have is to make a good EVEN sized patty.  I divide the meat visually in 4 with my hands and then I roll the burger in my hands to form a large meatball.  Then put it between wax paper and I lightly press down with my hand and then use a small skillet and apply even pressure to flatten it out.  Works great every time!
  4. Before putting the burgers on the grill let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

These burgers have been in our family for probably 10 years or more.  Maybe one day I will embark on another recipe, but for now these are “OUR” burgers and I am happy to share them with you!

    Has anyone tried freezing these? If so did you cook from frozen or thaw first? How did they turn out! Cant wait to try.

      Hi Alana – you can freeze these after the patties are made. And they can be cooked from frozen – if they are thin enough – but I would thaw them in the fridge first.

    Amazingggggg! Juicy and a burst of flavor! Made some small substitutes because I didn’t have Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, & whole milk.
    My replacements were:
    ketchup vinegar pickle juice -Wor. sauce
    Adobo – onion powder
    Almond milk – whole milk

    I’m curious if I could do this without the breadcrumbs? My BF and I don’t eat processed stuff. I can eat dairy, but he can’t. So grated butter isn’t an option.

    Doesn’t specify type of breadcrumbs – fresh, white bread crumbs?

    Bread crumbs do hold in moisture, and add density. However, they are now common in meat recipes due to the great depression as they were used to hulk up the little meat they had. Should not be present in a burger. Instead, grate cold butter into the ground meat and mix.

    I didn’t think these would turn out good with the breadcrumbs either but they were fabulous

        Of course she didn’t try them! Lol. My mom always put bread crumbs in hamburger meat and Italians put them in their best meatballs! She has NO IDEA what she’s talking about.

      Wonderfully delicious burger! Moist when grilled on my old school George Forman grill. I used ground sirloin. Served them on Hawaii burger buns with American cheese,slices,bib lettuce ,vine ripened tomato and dill pickle. I added a bit of Dijon mustard on the bun for my burger. I’ve been trying to perfect a home burger. This is the winner. Everyone loved them.
