Y'all, you CAN make the perfect burger this weekend. To do so, it's critical you follow these simple pro tips:
〰️ Use Quality Meat: high-quality beef with the right fat ratio provides all the rich flavor you need. If you do anything, do this.
〰️ Skip the Fillers: this keeps the texture tender instead of meatloaf-like (versus when breadcrumbs, powders, or eggs are added)
〰️ Salt + Pepper Only: helps to bring out the pure beef flavor without turning your patty into meatloaf. As a general guide, use 1 tsp of kosher salt per 1 lb of ground beef
〰️ Do Not Overmix! Handle gently, otherwise the meat can get tough
Add some crisp lettuce, fresh tomato and onion slices, and voilà, you've got the perfect burger. 🍔🍔🍔
