Homestyle Hamburgers

Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 15 min

Nothing says summer quite like sizzling hamburgers right off the barbecue. So if you have a barbecue, grill these patties instead of using a skillet. The timing is similar, and you’ll add a delightful charred taste to the meat.

Serve your hamburgers with favorite toppings, either on a bun or a leaf of lettuce, depending on your dietary needs.

Makes

4 servings

Serving size

1 patty

Ingredients

12 ounces lean ground beef

½ cup sweet onion, chopped

1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped

Pinch of black pepper, freshly grounded

1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the beef, onion, garlic, mustard, thyme, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal balls, and form into ½-inch-thick patties.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil.
  4. Pan-fry the burgers until they are cooked through and browned, about 6 minutes per side.
  5. Serve hot.

Cooking Tip

Raw hamburger patties freeze very well when tightly wrapped, so double up the recipe and stock up for a future meal. Place a piece of parchment paper between the patties so they are easy to separate, and cook them right from frozen.
