Burger Recipe

We love burgers. Whether hot off the grill or out of the skillet, a burger is the sandwich of choice for millions every day. Wildly popular in America, the burger has caught on in many countries around the world. Although an authentic burger is made from ground beef, home cooks and chefs around the world have introduced other burgers formed from ground ingredients such as chicken and turkey, seafood, and vegetables. While a burger can be served a number of ways including plain, or simply topped with a sauce, glaze or other garnish, most burgers are served in a bread bun adorned with condiments and assorted toppings, and eaten sandwich style.

Beef burgers are formed from ground beef. The burger is shaped from a round tennis ball sized selection of ground beef that has been pressed down with the hands to create a flat, thin cake usually ½-inch to 1-inch thick, and 4 to 5-inches in diameter. The patties are pan fried or grilled to the desired doneness. The ground beef can be utilized as is, lightly seasoned, or combined with herbs, spices and finely diced vegetables such as onions, mushrooms, and hot peppers prior to being formed and cooked. Common toppings for burgers range from simple condiments and sauces, to sautéed vegetables and sliced cheese. The number of ideas for what to make burgers out of, and what to top them with is endless.
