What combination of ingredients makes the tastiest homemade hamburger?
When I make my beef patties I always like to add a little crushed tomato. Along with my other flavourings such as Worcestershire sauce, BBQ and tomato sauce, garlic, mixed fresh herbs salt and pepper to taste, an egg and breadcrumbs to bind. I find that the tomato helps to keep the patty moist. Flame grill them and serve them on a toasted/grilled bun with lettuce, tomato, mushrooms, cheese, bacon, fried egg(sunny side up) grilled/caramelised onions if desired. Some may also like some beetroot and a slice of pineapple. Then a dash of sauce and a little sweet chilli sauce for that added kick. I don’t really like to put onion in the meat as if you put raw onion in something and then cook, the onion will always taste raw even after cooking the patty. If you are going to put onion in things like this or say in homemade bread, always cook the onion first because raw onion doesn’t taste nice in cooked food.
