Awesome cooking related thing I learned tonight

[gamblore99]

My housemate showed me this an hour ago. Buy ground beef, shape into hamburger patties, put on foreman grill add salt. Eat. These burgers are really tasty and great if you are trying to save money as they are really cheap.
Could probably be done with a frying pan too.

I guess I thought this was really neat because I was taught to make hamburgers from scratch you had to add egg, flour, and spices and ground it all up, furthermore you really needed a BBQ. I also have never until today seen any college/high school friends make hamburgers from scratch, and if they knew this they definitely would.

Wow, just wow

Everyone thinks you are retarded but I understand! Its basically when you realize that making stuff isn't really that hard.

Ya man. It holds the hamburger together. This is how my mom makes them and they are really good. My big discovery is that they are superfluous ingredients.

I have heard of the eggs and flour thing before. It doesn't effect the taste.

I think the OP is really thrilled to figure out that you can save 50 cents by buying ground beef and shaping your own burger instead of buying them preshaped.

That about sums up my thoughts.

Another great thing to add to the hamburger meat before you cook it is grated onion. You can either chop it up real fine or you can use a cheese grater (big hole side). I also like adding in chopped garlic, red pepper flakes, fresh herbs, and a spice called Adobo.

Lol. I would also suggest adding yogurt if you are using ground chicken/turkey. It adds a nice zesty taste.

Anybody,

ever heard of deep-fat frying a hamburger? Sounds like it would be interesting, but I've never heard of anyone doing it. It might have to be breaded so that it didn't fall apart, but I bet the end result would be pretty good.

[gorie]

this post is kinda cute.

There used to be a restaurant near my parents' house that did this. Put a ball of hamburger on a stick and bread it and fry it just like a corn dog. Excellent. Sadly, it burned a few years ago, and now the Zesto Burger is but a fond memory.

You can mix the chopped onion into the pattys, or you can just fry it along with the burgers and put it on the bun, or both. I have seen burgers made with eggs and flour, but they really aren't necessart. And yes, you can cook them in a frying ban, or in the broiler in the oven, too.
