BAKED HAMBURGER PATTIES RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Sometimes I vary the seasonings- using a steak seasoning or Cajun seasoning instead of salt and pepper.
• Mix ingredients with your hands using a light touch.
• Don't be tempted to overmix.
• If you do, it becomes too dense.
• When charcoal grilling, add 1/2 cup water to the beef mixture to keep it from drying out.
• For pan frying, don't use a nonstick pan- it won't brown as well, and heat some oil in the pan before adding burgers to keep the burgers from sticking and to help sear and form a nice brown, crispy exterior.
• Either method will take about 10- 12 minutes of cooking time, depending on thickness of patty, temperature of heat source and your preference (we like ours medium cooked).
• Note: when pan-frying don't be tempted to press down and squeeze all the juice out, just turn them more often (turn only once on the grill).

Steps:

• preheat oven to 350F
• Make the gravy and set it aside. In a medium-sized bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, milk, and parsley until well blended.
• To make the hamburgers, combine ground beef, crushed saltines, milk, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste
• Using your hands, or a fork, mix all ingredients together, divide into 6-8 portions and make pattie
• Dredge each patty in flour to coat all sides lightly.
• In a cast-iron skillet that has been lightly oiled, brown patties on both sides. This will add tons of flavor
• Once patties are browned, pour prepared gravy on top of them
• Cover skillet with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes
