Best Burger EVER!

Helllooo my one follower :) i love you!

so i had to get back on here to share my amazing burger recipe!! dipak is convinced that red meat in any form other than a burger is going to give us both cancer.. so burger it is! :D

lately ive tried quite a few recipes that im in love with... this is at the TOP of that list.. so im just going to get right into it. i dont have any anecdotes to share today lol

okay so there are 2 things you can do with the ground beef.. apparently you can go to the store, pick up a pound of beef and then ask the butcher to 1/2 it for you and then you only have to buy half of it!!! which i didnt know at ALL! so you could do THAT! OR you can buy the pound, and then take half, stick it in a plastic ziplock bag and put it in the freezer and have it for up to a month!! (maybe more... i know you can keep chicken for THREE months... can you do that w beef too? i dunno yet) you can take it out anytime and defrost it (put it in a bowl of cold water for a couple hours) and then use it again! its pretty amazing.. thats how all my chicken is being saved and used now'a days!

so my recipe is for a whole pound of meat bc i forgot that we're only 2 people and wont eat the whole thing hah.. so if youre only gonna make 1/2 then 1/2 the rest of the recipe too..
also! when i say 1 tsp, i mean a flat tsp. not a heaping one... otherwise ill say "heaping". - and the reason for the specification this time is that im putting a measurement for the salt and i dont want to over salt it.. altho.... if you UNDER-salt beef, its pretty disgusting :/ thats my experience talking.

So the ingredients you will need (in addition to GLOVES!!!) are:

1 pound of ground beef (which means one packet btw) - oh and get the one thats 15% fat.. not super lean :/ lol bc im sorry but it just tastes better!!
1 fresh jalapeno (minced tiiiiny)
1/2 an onion (diced- which means cut up small, but bigger than a "mince") - also im pretty sure you already know all these things, but i didnt at ALL, so im just saying it again in case lol
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce (it smells like A1 sauce but the consistency is like water.. its a flavor buddy lol -- being brought up by immigrant parents, we have never heard of worcestershire sauce... which is why i just explained what it is)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp seasoning salt (apparently its different than regular salt.. didnt know this existed either)
1 egg

k so you take a big mixing bowl, bc you dont want any meat-juice splatter :/ BLEKH..
open the package of ground beef, and dump it into the bowl.. add everything to the bowl and then put your gloves on!! lol.. Squish it all around until its all mixed together evenly..

then put a skillet on the stove and put the heat on medium/low (closer to medium than low tho but still) grease the pan.. and then make a little patty with your gloved hands and then slap it on the pan. use a spatula to turn the patty after about 4 minutes.. i think about 4 or 5 minutes on each side is right.. but you determine for yourself... also bc im scared of eating raw meat and dying, i always half cut open the meat when i thiiink its done to check if its still pink inside. it makes the burger less pretty but who cares lol.

k also! when youve flipped the patty once, put a big piece of cheese on top of it (if you like cheese of course hah) and if your skillet has a top, put it on. ALSO! if you have a spray bottle... or even just use your hands.. drip or spray some water close to or on the burger and itll steam like crazy... catch the steam with the pot-top and close it over the burger... the steam makes the cheese meltier and also makes the burger extra moist!! OMG i want one again right now!

and i had gotten sourdough bread, and made the burger with that.. and it was AMAZING!!! i swear it was the bread and the meat that made it amazing.. whereas usually for me, its the cheese and mayo! lol

anyway im STOKED for you to try this!! let me know how yours turns out!!
