Instructions
Preparation and making the patties
- Chop the onion, get all the ingredients at hand. Cut burger buns in half and heat up the grill or the frying pan.
- Mix ground beef, an egg, chopped onion, garlic, chipotle, Worcestershire souce, breadcrumbs (or whole-wheat flour), and herbs in a bowl.
- Cover the bowl and put it in the fridge for 30 minutes to let the meat rest. This will help the ingredients to blend better and burgers to stay together when being cooked.
- Using your hands form round patties (about 1,5 cm or 0,6 inch thick) and place them on the grill or hot frying pan.
- Flip them when the bottom is darker and holds itself together. If possible, avoid turning more than once (this will help the meat to cook through better and stay together). After you've flipped the burger, place a slice of cheese on top to let it melt.
Putting burger together
- You can toast the buns to keep them from getting damp. Spread ketchup and mustard on both sides of the bun.
- Place pickles, tomatoes, and lettuce. Add the burger with cheese. Top it with fried onions and close the burger.
- Pour yourself a drink, and get some fries. And it is time to sink your teeth into your juicy burger!
