Black Pepper Beef Cheeseburgers ❤️ Juicy Homemade Beef Patties

🍞Ingredients:

🌼Burger buns: Refer to Photo 8 for the burger bun ingredients and instructions (makes 8 buns).

🌼Beef patties: Ground beef 500g, salt 5g, ground black pepper 3g, milk 60g, egg 1, finely chopped onion 1/3 (omit or reduce if you prefer), breadcrumbs 35g, dried parsley or cilantro flakes 5g, grated Parmesan cheese 35g, shredded cheese 50g (any variety).

🌼Burger assembly: Cheddar cheese slices, tomato slices, lettuce, your favorite burger sauce, and raw or grilled onion slices if desired.

🍞Instructions:

1️⃣Bake the burger buns first following Chef Meng's recipe in Photo 8.

2️⃣Once the buns are ready, make the beef patties. Following Photo 5, place all beef patty ingredients into a large bowl and mix until well combined. Shape the mixture into round patties, heat a little oil in a skillet, and sear on both sides until cooked through.

3️⃣Following Photo 6, assemble your burgers 🍔 and enjoy while hot!

❤️Baker's Notes:

1. Do not skip the shredded cheese and breadcrumbs in the beef mixture. Adding both makes the patties tender and flavorful. You can buy pre-shredded cheese or grate it off a block like I did.

2. Why add milk? Ground beef absorbs a lot of liquid. Mixing in milk lets the beef soak up all that moisture so every bite of the patty stays juicy.

3. This burger bun recipe also makes great dinner rolls.

4. Making burgers from scratch is much simpler than it looks. Mixing the patties takes two minutes, pan-searing takes a few minutes, and washing the greens and assembling takes no more than 15 minutes total. Give it a try, it is delicious.

5. If you love shrimp burgers, check out my earlier post on homemade shrimp burgers. The process is very similar, and once you learn one, you can easily branch out into all kinds of 🍔!
