How to Make Hamburgers

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while maintaining flavor.

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground pork

Ground turkey is leaner, while ground pork can be more economical.

Use ground chuck for hamburgers, preferably a 75% lean and 25% fat blend.

Mince onions and add them to the ground beef mixture.

Season the mixture with salt and pepper.

Form the beef mixture into 4 to 6 oz patties, compacting them tightly.

Shape the patties into an oval shape.

Heat a skillet and add a little oil to prevent sticking and aid browning.

Cook the patties on low to medium heat, allowing them to brown without pressing them.

Cook until medium rare, checking for juiciness by cutting one in half.
