Garlic-Infused Juicy Hamburgers

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons Burn Pit BBQ Garlic Seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Buns and favorite toppings (cheese, lettuce, tomato, etc.)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Mixture:

    In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, evaporated milk, bread crumbs, egg, garlic seasoning, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently until combined—don’t overmix to keep the burgers tender.

  2. Form the Patties:

    Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Form each into a patty, making a slight indentation in the center to prevent the burgers from puffing up during grilling.

  3. Grill the Burgers:

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your preferred level of doneness (160°F for well-done, 140-145°F for medium).

  4. Assemble:

    Toast the buns on the grill for about 1 minute, then assemble the burgers with your favorite toppings.

  5. Serve & Enjoy: Plate your juicy garlic-infused burgers and enjoy with some classic BBQ sides!

Grilling Tips for First-Timers

For those new to grilling, here are some key tips to ensure your garlic-infused burgers turn out perfect every time:

  • Use Cold Ground Beef:

    Keep the meat cold until you’re ready to form the patties. This helps retain the fat, which results in a juicier burger.

  • Don’t Overwork the Meat:

    Mix the ingredients just until combined to avoid a dense, tough patty.

  • Create a Dimple in the Patties:

    Press a small indentation in the center of each patty to keep the burger flat and evenly cooked.

  • Check for Doneness with a Thermometer:

    For safety and the perfect cook, use a meat thermometer. USDA recommends 160°F for ground beef, but many prefer 140-145°F for a juicier, medium burger.

  • Let the Burgers Rest: Allow the burgers to rest for a couple of minutes after grilling so the juices redistribute throughout the patty.

Extra Flavor and Pairing Ideas

To make your grilling experience even more exciting, try these variations and pairings:

  • Different Meats:

    This recipe works great with ground turkey, pork, or even a mix of meats. For leaner options, consider using ground bison or chicken.

  • Smoker Option:

    If you love smoky flavors, consider smoking the burgers on low heat for 30-45 minutes before finishing them on the grill for that perfect sear.

  • Side Pairings: Serve these burgers with grilled corn, sweet potato fries, or a tangy coleslaw. Need a drink pairing? A cold, refreshing lemonade or your favorite local craft beer will complement the flavors perfectly.

FAQ: Common Grilling Questions

  • Can I freeze the patties?

    Yes! You can freeze uncooked patties for up to 3 months. Just thaw in the fridge before grilling.

  • What’s the best way to keep burgers juicy?

    Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking, as this releases the flavorful juices. Also, try not to overcook the burgers, and always let them rest after grilling.

  • What’s the best ground beef ratio? For juicy burgers, use 80/20 ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat).
