Viewed: 34 - Published at: 8 years agoIngredients
- 1 lb ground beef (lean works fine for me)
- 2 slices bread, diced into 1/4 square pieces (or equivalent breadcrumbs or crackers)
- 4 tablespoons milk (4 tbsp =1/4 cup, use any %, but real milk)
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning (or 1 tsp dry oregano, 1 tsp dry thyme)
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder (or 1 tbsp finely minced garlic)
- 1 tablespoon onion flakes (or 2 tsp onion powder)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce (or 2 tbsp ketchup or steak sauce)
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cajun seasoning (optional)
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
Method
- Dice the bread into 1/4 squares and place in a mixing bowl large enough to handle all the ingredients.
- Sprinkle the milk on them to moisten, and mix by hand to coat all the bread with milk.
- Break up the ground beef into small pieces and add to the mixing bowl along with all the other ingredients, making a depression in the mixture for the egg and scrambling it a little bit by hand before mixing it all together.
- Mix gently by hand until all materials are roughly evenly distributed, about a minute or two.
- Form the mixture into four or five round or square patties.
- The center of each patty should be slightly thinner than the outsides since it will fatten on cooking.
- Place them in a lightly oiled frying pan and press down on the middle to form the desired depression.
- Heat on a low or medium-low flame until each side is browned, about 4-5 minutes each side.
- Add cheese the last minute if a cheeseburger is desired.
