How to make beef burgers
- Add the eggs and seasonings to a large bowl that will be large enough to fit the ground beef.
- Mix together until well combined. The color will be reddish because of the paprika
- Add in the ground beef and the breadcrumbs. Please note I am using frozen ground beef here that's been thawed, which is why the color is darker.
- Mix with your hands until the beef and breadcrumbs are well incorporated.

- Gently shape the mixture into 4 patties. Use your thumb to press down in the center of each patty to create an indent.
- Refrigerate the patties for 20-30 minutes. It really helps it hold its shape when grilling.

Tips for making burgers
- Make an indent in the center of each patty. This will help the burgers to cook evenly and will prevent shrinkage.
- Use your hands to mix the the patties. It's a little messier but the ingredients will combine much easier this way. You can wear tight fitting plastic gloves to keep your hands clean if you like.
- Don't over mix the burger mixture. Everything should be just combined. If you over mix, the burgers can become tough and chewy. Mixing them with your hands will help you not to over mix.
- Refrigerate the burger patties immediately after forming them. This helps with two things. First, it helps keep the patty formation. Second, it helps to limit moisture on the burger which allows means it will cook faster, which over-cooking.
- Once on the grill, don't flatten the burger with a spatula.When you do this the meat will lose some of its juices. Just flip them, don't be tempted to press them down.
Frequently asked questions
Can you cook these burgers in the oven?
I always prefer to grill burgers so that you get those nice crispy edges. You can cook them in the oven though if you like. Cook the burgers on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 425F for about 15 minutes until they are cooked through.
Can you freeze ground beef burgers?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked burger patties and they will keep well for up to 3 months. Freeze the patties on a baking sheet and once solid, transfer to a freezer bag or container. Thaw the frozen burgers in the fridge overnight before cooking.
Can you make these ahead of time?
You can mix the burger ingredients a day ahead of time and keep the covered in the bowl, you can also form the patties and keep those covered so they are ready to take out and cook. The uncooked burger mix will keep for 1 to 2 days.
