If you are looking for instructions on how to make a hamburger you will find a variety of methods, with many diverse ingredients and a number of different cooking methods. In basic terms, the hamburger is a closely packed patty of ground beef plus whatever added herbs, spices or ingredients you wish to introduce, and is best broiled or cooked on an outdoor grill.
There are a number of simple tips that enable you to make the best possible hamburger, and the first comes with the ingredients. You need to use the best quality minced beef you can find, a lean and well sourced variety that you know is of a high standard. All such meat will contain fat, yet the manner in which a burger is cooked - slowly - means you can easily remove most of it as you cook.
Pack the hamburger together with egg white for binding. Some people introduce milk, or cream, into the recipe for added juiciness and taste, and others will use onions as a standard ingredient. Onions should be very finely chopped for the best effect. If you are using herbs it is best not to overdo them - the taste of the meat, after all, is the basic appeal of a hamburger.
How to make a hamburger is one thing, but how to eat it is quite another! The commonplace method of serving it in a soft or toasted bun - perhaps with fries or a side plate of vegetables - is one of the best as it leaves the burger with its attendant flavor, while many choose to serve the burger in a rich gravy, maybe with mashed potatoes as accompaniment.
This is the great thing about the simple, standard burger - it is so easy to make and so simple to cook, and utterly delicious to eat.
