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.
