Best Hamburger Patty Recipe

 Ingredients

2 lbs. Medium ground beef*
½ cup Christie saltine crackers*, crushed or Panko breadcrumbs
1 large Egg
2 tbsp. Worcester sauce
2 tbsp. D Dutchman milk*
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 tsp Onion powder
½ tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp. Paprika

 Instructions

Set out a large mixing bowl. Add in the ground beef, crushed crackers, egg, Worcestershire sauce, milk, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Mix by hand until the meat mixture is very smooth.

Press the meat down in the bowl, into an even disk. Use a knife to cut and divide the hamburger patty mixture into 6 – 1/3-pound grill or skillet patties, or 12 thin griddle patties.

Set out a baking sheet, lined with wax paper or foil, to hold the patties. One at a time, gather the patty mix and press firmly into patties. Shape them just slightly larger than the buns you plan to use, to account for shrinkage during cooking. Set the patties on the baking sheet. Use a spoon to press a dent in the center of each patty so they do not puff up as they cook. If you need to stack the patties separate them with a sheet of wax paper.

Preheat the grill or a skillet to medium heat. (Approximately 350-400 degrees F.)
For thick patties: Grill or fry the patties for 3-4 minutes per side.
For thin patties: Cook on the griddle for 2 minutes per side.
Stack the hot patties on hamburgers buns, and top with your favourite hamburger toppings.
