THE BEST NO FUSS HAMBURGER

Steps:

• Take the beef out of the refrigerator and allow it to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before forming the patties. Form beef into three 5 to 6 ounce hamburger patties. Use your thumb to imprint a dimple into the middle of each burger. (This prevents the middle of the burgers from puffing up while cooking). Season both sides of the hamburgers with salt and pepper.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a cast iron pan over medium heat. Cook hamburger patties 3 to 4 minutes on each side, depending on how well done you like it.
• Rest burgers covered loosely with aluminum foil for 5 minutes then serve on a buttered bun with lettuce, tomatoes and onion (or how you like it).

CLASSIC HAMBURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix beef, onion and Worcestershire in a bowl just until combined.

BEST HAMBURGER EVER

THE BEST HAMBURGER RECIPE (AND AMAZING SECRET SAUCE)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cheese, bbq sauce, and seasonings. Don't add too much bbq sauce or the patties will have a hard time taking shape. Shape patties that are about 1 inch thick (about 5 patties). (You can also freeze the patties after shaping them for about 1 hour to help them hold their shape.)
• Turn grill up to high and let it get hot.
• Reduce heat to medium-high and place the burgers on the grill. Allow this side of the patty to cook for about 4-6 minutes, but make sure it does not burn. Then flip the burger over and cook until done.
• For the sauce, combine all sauce ingredients and whisk until well mixed. Taste and adjust ingredients to your liking.
• Assemble the burgers and serve with the special sauce and other hamburger toppings of choice.

HAMBURGER CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain.
• While cooking the noodles, in a frying pan, cook the hamburger until no longer pink. (If you are using salt and pepper, add it while cooking the hamburger).
• Pour cooked noodles in a greased 9x13 baking dish.
• Stir the cooked hamburger and tomato soup with the noodles. I just stir everything in the pan. I also sometimes add 1/2 cup of water to the mixture for a little more moisture. Completely optional.
• Sprinkle cheese over casserole and cover with foil.
• Bake in a 375* oven for 20 minutes.
• Remove foil and bake for 10 minutes longer.
• Can bake under broiler for 3-5 minutes to brown cheese, if desired.
• Note: If you want to use 2 cups of one kind of cheese (example: mozzarella) instead of the combination, you canDried onion and garlic powder is completely optional and can be adjusted to your family's tastes
