Hamburgers - Chatelaine tips (June 2014) home made patties.no recipe amounts

all ingredients gathered together

root end or top end intact; slice down, vertically, through the onion to the flat side resting on cutting board.


cut horizontally through onion 

Slice vertically again to separate into small pieces (or larger if you want). 

Jalapenos - I cut down the center and place cut side flat on the board

the heat is in the center white part that holds the seeds, feel free to remove part or all of it (I can't take the heat)

Smack the garlic with the knife blade

Skin of garlic clove peels off easily once smacked


If I have cilantro I add it 

Oatmeal or bread crumbs extend the meat, give flavour and absorb fat.

I break an egg into a separate bowl first, don't want shell in my cooking!

Mix up the meat with all the ingredients until evenly blended

Only piece of tupperware I own!  

Shape the burger (I like mine to cook quickly, so I make them thin).
WASH your hands immediately to avoid cross contamination - e. coli, hamburger disease!  Also happens when people do not use a clean plate for cooked meats after barbecuing! 

Extra lean ground beef gave me no grease to fry in!  I will use lean next time!

Cut a slit in the top to make sure there are no pink or raw juices.

Toppings in a divided tray

Bakery bun....think I need to add some colour through more veg on this burger!!
