Homemade Hamburgers


Here are two, surprisingly, well presented hamburgers. I had watched a YouTube video just the day before on how to make homemade hamburgers. The ingredients and process was extremely easy and I thought it would be fun to try it out. I first bought two buns from a local (kind of local, within the city I guess) bakery that had freshly baked bread. I also bought some tomatoes, onions, lettuce, minced beef, bread crumbs and unfortunately processed cheddar cheese. I wanted to get some better chunks of cheese like Emmental or Irish cheddar but they were so expensive! I remembered that in the video I had watched, it said to season the minced beef and also mix it with bread crumbs for a better structure (so it won't fall apart as easily). I also added some finely chopped onion into the mix for better flavor. I think I didn't mix it well enough or something of that sort because my patties, in the end, weren't as tough and as woven well together as I thought it would be. After the patties were all cooked and 'well done', I put the squares of cheese on top of the two buddies for it melt. Finally, I plated it all up together with the other condiments and voila, I had two burgers. It's a very simple process and probably healthier too because you know what you're putting in your food!
