Best Hamburger Meat

This is a stand alone recipe, once you make this, you can make any burgers of your choice. I wanted to add this tip as it is excellent! There is 3 options here. This tip is for grinding your own beef or at a minimum, grinding the optional ingredients. You can grind these items together or do as I did and just grind separate and mix together by hand.

Instructions
 

Beef with Bacon

  • Cut the beef into strips and place in the freezer to chill for about 20-30 minutes, place the bacon in the freezer as well. Thoroughly clean the grinder parts then sterilize in bleach water for a few minutes, then RINSE the parts completely, dry, and assemble the grinder. Grind the beef with the bacon, or grind separate and mix. Immediately chill the ground meat in the fridge until use. This makes 4-5 patties.

Beef with Sausage

  • Cut the beef into strips and place in the freezer to chill for about 20-30 minutes, place the sausage in the freezer as well. Thoroughly clean the grinder parts then sterilize in bleach water for a few minutes, then RINSE the parts completely, dry, and assemble the grinder. Grind the beef with the sausage, or grind separate and mix. Immediately chill the ground meat in the fridge until use. This makes 4-5 patties. This one I have done and it makes a great burger!

Beef with Green Chilies

  • Cut the beef into strips and place in the freezer to chill for about 20-30 minutes, place the bacon in the freezer as well. Thoroughly clean the grinder parts then sterilize in bleach water for a few minutes, then RINSE the parts completely, dry, and assemble the grinder. Grind the beef with the bacon and roasted chilies, or grind separate and mix. Immediately chill the ground meat in the fridge until use. This makes 4-5 patties.

Notes

The beef will cost about 100 Baht/500 grams, bacon can go up to 150 Baht/200 grams and is normally more than sausage. For 4 burger patties, this is about $1.84 per burger patty. High cost but great for a once in a while meal.
