How to make the best burger every time!
I’ve been making burgers this way for almost 20 years and it’s hard to find a better burger anywhere! I found this recipe in the Washington Post circa 1999 and it was from James Beard. I’ve been following this recipe ever since.
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 14 minutes
- Total Time: 24 minutes
- Yield: 6 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 pounds 80/20 ground chuck
- 1 small yellow onion
- 2 teaspoons heavy cream
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Place the ground chuck in a bowl and create a cavity in the center
- Generously salt and pepper over the entire meat
- Pour the heavy cream in the center and grate the onion
- Fold over the meat combining the cream and onion, but do not over mix.
- Make 6 patties that are 6-ounces each
- Prepare the grill, once hot, spray the grates with cooking spray like Pam
- Cook for 7 to 7 1/2 minutes on each side
- Add cheese and allow to melt
Notes
You may need to adjust the cooking time based on how you like your burgers cooked. These burgers cooked for 7 1/2 minutes and are medium. If you like medium rare, take a couple of minutes off the cooking time. Or add a few minutes if you like them well done.
