Hamburgers - Fresh Versus Frozen

The secret to a great hamburger is a fresh patty. Even the best frozen burgers will not compete with a freshly made burger. One of the biggest reasons is that commercially made Hamburg's are compressed so that they can be processed in a box. A fresh burger (like Red Robins) are easily better because of the consistency is different. Every patty is unique in texture and size. Another benefit is a patty with a raised center allows for the juices to be self contained, and the flavors within the homemade patty will be more succinct.


Ingredients
2 lbs ground hamburger (80-20)
2 eggs (scrambled)
One onion finely diced
2-3 tsp of Garlic Pepper
2 tsp of cracked sea salt
2 tsp of cracked pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp of teriyaki sauce
1/2 cup of Italian bread crumbs


In a bowl, first mix the hamburger and egg together. Next, mix the rest of the ingredients together. This will require numerous times of kneading and mixing until the correct consistency. On a plate, place a sheet of wax paper. Make 1/3 - 1/2pd patties for the grill.
