Perfect Summer Burgers

I have been wanting a hamburger sooo bad and not the kind you get at a fast food place(yes, I do love those too!) But a homemade real Cheeseburger! So I looked and looked for a recipe and found the perfect one and made a few adjustments and it was perfect! I have never made homemade burgers before so this was scary! We had some friends over and it was great to have their opinion too! Everyone loved them and even went back for seconds!

Now I feel like a burger queen and may never buy a frozen costco patty again! I love summer and I love cookouts, this was the perfect meal for a summer night!

Perfect Summer Burger

Ingredients:

2 lbs ground sirloin beef

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tsp chilli powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp onion powder

1 Tbsp ketchup

1/4 tsp liquid hickory smoke

1 egg

Instructions:

1. Mix brown sugar, chili powder, salt, pepper and onion powder in a bowl. 

2. Add in Ketchup, liquid smoke, and egg and stir thoroughly.

3. Add your ground beef to bowl and mix well with your hands.

3. Form meet mixture into 8 balls, shape into patties or use a burger press and pace on wax paper.

4. Stack burgers with wax paper separating patties, place burgers in fridge to marinate for a few hours or overnight. 

5. Grill burgers for 4-5 minutes on each side at 300-400 degrees.

6. Put assorted toppings on top of burger and enjoy! 

**I have a great burger sauce you can try here...similar to the In-n-Out sauce.

 

I feel like the secret ingredient here is the liquid smoke! I loved it! If you have a summer BBQ coming up, try these out and let us know what you think!

  • Best burgers ever! I can’t eat any other burger. Love the smoked flavor and adding the brown sugar makes them delicious.

  • I don’t have an outdoor grill. If I fried these in a cast iron skillet or in a non stick grill pan, would I still get the same result in taste or must they be grilled on an outdoor gas grill? Also if I only wanted to fix 4 burgers, would I just cut the recipe in half? I would more than likely only be fixing enough for two people. Thank you so much.

    I truly enjoy your vlogs so much and admire what you stand for as a family and most importantly the example you set as a married couple and a Mom and Dad for your children. It is obvious that you both are genuine and live the life you profess and aren’t just putting on an act and saying what you think people want to hear in order to get what you want. Oh and btw, I absolutely love the choices you made on the new carpet and color choices. It brightened up your whole house up and has made the rooms look twice as big as they use to. I’m sorry you had to go through what you did to get the end result but it looks amazing!! God bless you and your whole family.
