BEST HAMBURGER PATTY RECIPE (GRILLED OR STOVETOP)

Steps:

• 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 smooth, but stop once the mixture looks even. (Overmixing can create a dense heavy texture.)
• 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 don't 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 favorite hamburgers toppings. Serve warm.

PARTY BURGER

Steps:

• For the burger: Find a bowl or pan that is just bigger than your bread and place on a piece of parchment paper. Trace around the bowl with a pen and flip the paper over. Use the paper as a guide to shape the sirloin into a patty. Sprinkle both sides of the patty with 1 teaspoon salt.
• Place a cast-iron pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil and heat until shimmering.
• Add the patty to the pan and press down firmly with a spatula. Cook until the edges are crispy and deeply golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Fan the cheese over the burger and place a metal bowl or baking sheet inverted over the patty. Cook until the cheese melts and gets crispy on the edges touching the pan, about 2 minutes more.
• For the special sauce: Whisk together the ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard and black pepper in a small mixing bowl.
• Spread the special sauce on the cut sides of the boule. Place the burger on the bottom half of the boule. Top with the lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and a sprinkle of salt. Slice into quarters or sixths and serve.
