I'm as guilty as the next person of hitting up the drive through on the way to or from something, or just to satisfy a craving for a big fat juicy burger. That said, I'm usually disappointed. Wilted lettuce, mushy tomatoes, onions that taste… odd… and squished buns.
Then there's the beef.
I like my burgers to be hot, juicy and full of flavor. There's nothing wrong with fast food, but I do find that there's no real flavor in the beef. I get that they're convenient; I consider these burgers fast-ISH food. I can make em, grill em and get them on the table faster than it would take to run down to the local burger joint.

The best ground beef for a homemade beef burger:
I like between 15-20% fat for my burgers to keep them rich, tender and, um. Moist. There. I said it. Leaner cuts of meat are dryer (you want a JUICY burger, people!), and don't have as much flavor.

- Gather all your ingredients.
- Mix the pepper, salt, dijon, and Worcestershire into the meat, gently.
- Form 8 patties (I have a shallow prep bowl I use to get them all the same size and use a scale to keep it even!)
- Heat a grill or a large skillet to high. Cook the patties a few minutes each side until done.
- Remove, and add to a toasted bun with lots of lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, onions, and pickles (blargh!!) if you must.
- Add ketchup, mustard, and mayo as required.
- Devour.
You can be super extra and make your own Homemade Hamburger Buns if you're feeling especially crunchy.

Kylee's tips for the Best Beef Burger:
- Go easy with the mixing. Just like muffins, you don't want to overmix!
- Use a scale to measure your patties – you want them all the same size!
- Get the best quality ingredients you can find. Bright red tomatoes. Crisp lettuce. Thick cut cheddar. Fresh onions. Fresh hamburger buns.
- Keep things really cold. Burgers fall apart if they get too warm before cooking, so keep em in the fridge til you're ready to make dinner.
- When you add your patties to a grill or skillet – don't squish them. You want them to keep all that moisture in, not press it out!
- Grill your buns – just cut in half and throw them on the grill until they toast up a little.
- Get napkins. These burgers are juicy, people. JUICY!
- Like bigger burgers? Instead of making 8 burgers, make 4, super-sized ones. That's half a pound of beef per burger, people. Get in!
