Be honest with me, fellas. How did I do? Never made burgers before. I don't have a barbecue so I made them in the pan I use for eggs. They were good but kinda plain, I just put mustard and cheese on them. It's all I had.
>>22273546season them next time. cut the thickness down 20% and add some other toppings brudda
>>22273549I put some salt and pepper on them. More than that?
looks bad. there’s a reason every burger place on earth gives more than just meat and bread
>>22273546Toast your buns in butter and add tons of fucking mayo if you arent adding toppings. Hell, do hot sauce and peanut butter or something
>>22273546Not bad for a first attempt. I like my burger very slightly rare. You didn't have a slice of tomato or some onion to put on that thing? And you only put mustard on it? Bro, get some ketchup and a little mayo on there. Also, toasted buns are the only way to go. You can use the same pan you cooked the burger in for a little extra flavor on the bun
>>22273550yeah a little more than that. I’ll leave which ones up to personal taste and discretion.
>>22273553>mayo on a burgerIs this a ruse?
>>22273572I didn’t want to give him the most obvious answer on earth “garlic powder” I’ve had a lot of burgers in my life which were saturated in garlic, which I don’t wanna bitch and moan about but it’s overdone. Just be a bit of a trailblazer and try something else, I trust you can come up with something else that tastes good.
>>22273546i prefer more on the rare side, but im a fucking animal.
>>22273546Mix a bit of EVOO, balsamic vinegar, mustard (not that french's shit), garlic powder, onion powder, and herbes de prevence together. spread it on the patties and the buns. toast the buns
>>22273582>minor typoprovence*also keep the toppings simple. Some sliced onion, greens, cheese if you must.
>>22273546You want to flatten the patties way more than you think you should, mix the ground beef and get the fat warmed up and split into 1/4 pound patties. I add a generous amount of salt, meat can handle way more salt than you think so don’t hold back. Then I add garlic, onion, paprika, parsley on one side. Throw it on the griddle then flip and add American cheese. This burger I made I also made home made buns, first time in a while I made my own buns. Then I added jalepeno jelly to the top bun (sounds weird but it’s fuckin amazing) and grey poupon Dijon mustard to the bottom bun, and of course bacon.
>>22273556Yeah he’s a retard
>>22273546Buns look weirdMeat looks dryNot enough toppings. At least put on more cheese if nothing else.Use fresh beef and make your own patties. Never by pre madeToast buns to add texture. And keep from getting too soggyAdd cheese before you take off grill or whatever so it melts wellSalt and pepper is enough on the burger if the meat isn't shit.
>>22273595Yikes my guy
>>22273602>Use fresh beef and make your own patties.I did do this, I probably overcooked because it was my first time doing it and I wanted to be safe. Did 4 min first side, flip and then 5 min. Internal was 160F.
>>22273605you will one day become old and wise enough that this feeling inside you is just “I don’t like mayonnaise” when it becomes speech
>>22273546Not sure why some people are negative, your burger looks perfect to me and I’d probably eat 3
>>22273621I've found all the criticisms very constructive and eagerly await my next attempt
>>22273621perfectly overcooked, yeah
>>22273556No. The Whopper has mayonnaise and the Big Mac has a mayonnaise-based sauce. It's incredibly common actually.
>>22273605the only people that don't like mayo on their burgers are poop-colored.
>>22273688alright let’s stay civil and not chimp out about this and that
>>22273691You can't tell facts and logic to cool it with the antisemitism.
>>22273691lmao you are brown aren't you
>>22273696I can tell baby shitposters to cool it with their 2nd grade lesson in racism>>22273699I am incredibly white
>>22273550You only need Salt on the patty
>>22273702>racismit's called pattern recognition, and there's literally nothing wrong with it.
>>22273704there is nothing wrong with using the discriminatory faculties of your brain to predict outcomes and keep yourself safe. having the “my country mogs yours” mindset and calling people poop colored is just immature
>>22273546nobody has a barbecuethey have grills or smokersthe mustard and cheese was too much. what you gotta do is find a kaiser roll, or a multipack, and put your plain fried burger on it. maybe salt and pepper
>>22273712Do not listen to this woman, try a kaiser roll
>>22273712be quiet, woman.
>>22273703Jesus Christ that bun is fucking awful.
>>22273735why would a man use 2 pieces of brotten
>>22273735women don't want you either I'm sure
>>22273744stop trying to insult people, you don’t feel better after you’ve made your bid at ruining someone’s day
>>22273747your mirror already does that, I'm just piling on
>>22273610Thats ok. Its really easy to under or overcook a burger. It takes lots of practice to get it just right. For me its just a feeling. I dont temperature check anything
>>22273735you are a woman and i'm going to have sex with you
>>22273546Your whore mother should have aborted you.Nice Burger
>>22273794I keep seeing that the woman keeps for the family together while the drunken father does whatever the fuck
>>22273798shut up, bitch
>>22273805having sex with women feels really good [spoiler]on my penis[/spoiler], but having to deal with them is a fucking nightmare
>>22273805I can’t deny women have been abused, I know for a fact they have, at the hands of all the men they trusted the most. It really sucks and I hope it’s not like that forever. Men have also been severely abused by their wives in a lot of caes. sometimes when those women are drunk. I’ve been a direct recipient of the abuse and threatening to accuse me about anything that will get me in jail. drunk people cause enormous problems for society, it’s almost like a plague.
>>22273703that bun looks like cake
>>22273546I would’ve made 2 thinner patties.
>>22273726No it isn’t>>22273899No it doesn’t
>>22273546As most people have said, you need a thinner burger and some more toppings. I'd use some oil/mayo-based sauce first of all, then some lettuce for the extra crunch. Onions are also good, and if you prefer them sweeter you can always just fry them in the pan along with the patty.
>>22275825Lettuce doesn’t make a Burger BetterOP’s Burger needs a Better Cruste (use a cast iron skillet), a meltier cheese (use American), a fattier patty (80%/20%), a softer bun (use Brioche)Salt only on the patty for cookingThen some Mayonnaise, black Pepper, Mustard, Pickles, and grilled Oniones
>>22273556Ehh, depends on the person. I, personally, don't like mayo per se, but mayo is a great sauce ingredient. Like, mayo + ketchup is an excellent sauce even though I dislike both individually. Also, I'd imagine homemade mayo tastes better.Mayo + mustard (like in OP's burger) + honey + water (for right viscovity) = honey mustard, which is very good
>>22275862gim the lettuce, I need that cronch
>>22275862>dislikes lettuce>cast iron meme>American cheese>plain mayoHoly mother of tastelets
>>22276105I didn’t say I hate lettuce, it just doesn’t make a Burger BetterI Love Iced Cream and I Love Steakes, but I don’t Love them togetherCast Iron just makes the Best BurgeresAmerican Cheese is the Best Cheese for a CheesieburgeThe Mayonnaise is only plain until it gets black Pepper on it, then the Burgere juice, then pickles and mustard on the top portion’s spread of Mayonnaise"O taste and see that the LORD is Good; blessed is the man that trusteth in Him”Psalm 34:8
Tried again, went for more of a medium rare (140F internal temp), tried mustard AND ketchup, an extra slice of cheese, and I toasted the bun. Accidentally made the patties bigger and forgot to indent them.
>>22276258I’m sorry but I cannot call this a success
>>22276686Can you elaborate? I'm still experimenting. Is it worse than the initial burger?

>>22273546eating tortured animals is mentally ill
>>22276258Don’t listen to the rare amateurs. Red is for steak, you want to chew your burger, not have it be all mushy. Also, the ones saying to only salt the patty and don’t hold back are correct. Everything else is a matter of preference.
>>22273546It's a fucking burger, it exists because it was designed to be one of the least effort foods to make.
>>22273550Best results involve adding salt to the exterior just before cooking. Do not mix salt directly into the meat, or you will get pic on the right. Other seasonings can be added to mixture or rubbed on exterior, your choice. Black pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, maybe a little cayenne pepper. No need to overdo it on any of them though. For the best black pepper, FRESSSHLY GROUND black pepper is a game changing experience, and you might want to add it after cooking since it can burn, but it's not the end of the world if you add it before. If you're preparing patties in advance for a barbecue or something, you can just add it all together EXCEPT the salt, save that for just before it hits the grill.
By the way, there is no need to cook a burger medium or rare. A burger is not a steak, well done is the best intersection of all considerations. Just don't OVERcook.
>>22273794This is categorically false and I would physically rough you up for insulting my mother and grandmother like that.
>>22273546Looks good, I prefer the simplicity.
