Broiled Burgers With Spam Recipes

JUICY BROILED HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat your broiler on high. Position an oven rack directly (3-4 inches) below the heating element.
• Sprinkle the Kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika on the meat. Work the spices gently and evenly into the meat.
• Divide the seasoned meat into four equal 4-oz portions and gently shape them into four patties, 3.5 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
• Arrange the patties in a cast-iron skillet. Push down on the center of each patty to create a dimple. This will help the burgers stay flat as they cook.
• Broil the burgers to medium, about 3 minutes per side.
• Turn the oven off, top each burger patty with sauteed onions and with cheese, and return the pan to the still-warm oven for just a few seconds, until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.

BURGERS IN THE OVEN (HOW TO BROIL HAMBURGERS)

Steps:

• Heat oven to broil and set the oven rack to the upper-middle position.
• Line a grill or sheet pan with foil.
• Divide the meat into 4 (4 ouncportions. Very gently, and without overworking the meat, form each portion into 4 loose balls. Place one ball on a dessert plate or other flat surface and gently press it down to make a disc about ½-¾ inch thick (your personal choice). Now gently turn the disc around while slightly pressing an indentation around the edge (kind of like a moat right inside the burger's edge). This will keep the burger from developing a mound in the middle and your burger will remain flat while cooking. Place the burger on the prepared pan and repeat the process with the remaining portions of beef.
• Season both sides of each burger generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, and place the burgers in the oven.
• Broil 4 minutes or until the top has browned and beginning to char.
• Flip the burgers over and broil until the center reads 155°F internally, about 3-4 minutes longer.
• Top each burger with a slice of your favorite cheese, if desired, and cook just until the cheese melts.
• Transfer the burgers to a cooling rack and tent with foil to allow time for the internal temperature to reach 160°F.
• Serve the burgers on toasted buns and top with the condiments of your choice.
• Enjoy!
