Lean ground beef and quick hamburger recipes
If you’re looking for some quick hamburger recipes for the grill here’s a very simple yet tasty recipe you can use as your ace in the hole when you have company but need something easy to make.
As luck would have it this burger recipe for the grill is so simple you can have your guests help and have some fun at the same time. It’s pretty much a no fuss, no muss grill recipe and it’s so simple anyone can make it to perfection.
All it takes is about 1/2 pound of ground beef per person, 1 medium potato and some chopped onion. Oh yeah, and some tin foil. This is so quick that you need to start the grill before you mess with the hamburger and potatoes.
Tear off a piece of aluminum foil about 15 inches long or so. Lay it on the counter so it’s flat. No, it doesn’t make any difference which side is up as there’s no truth to the myth that things cook faster with the dull side out.
These ground beef recipes work best with lean ground beef. I love hamburgers made from 80-85% lean ground beef. I will say that ground sirloin or ground round makes the best hamburger tho.
For the first hamburger you don’t need anything but an onion and some lean ground beef. I invented this one when I was cooking at a little beer bar and grill way back when I was 16. A customer was tired of the usual hamburgers and asked me to make him something different.
It’s a pretty easy lean ground beef recipe and any idiot can do it. Take one half pound of ground beef and divide it into two equal pieces. Now make two patties about 4 inches around. Lol, yes, the ground beef, ground round or ground sirloin will be a bit thin but don’t worry about it yet.
After you have the two beef patties made cut one slice of onion about 1/4 inch thick. Chop the onion until it’s pretty fine. Now take half the onion and spread it on top of one of the hamburger patties you’ve made. Then sprinkle on some salt and pepper but not to much.
