20 Minute Hamburgers

Or less.

If I'm looking to put a meal quickly together and if I have some beef in the fridge, hamburgers are one of those really quick and easy dinners. And it's one of those things I make that every time it's slightly different. The recipe below is going just to be a base of what I do, and you can always throw additional things into the mix! Whether that be vegetables, or different sauces/spices (like dijon mustard, or a bit of Worcester sauce!)

Also I have my super secret way of getting a pretty round burger too...

Basic Hamburger

Ingredients:
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup rice "breadcrumbs" (gluten-free)
- Seasonings of your choice (I usually put in onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, italian seasonings)
- a splash of liquid smoke if you want that smokey flavour

Directions:
1. Find a circular ziplock lid. I'm not kidding. Here's an example.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the beef, egg, rice breadcrumbs, and seasonings. And by mix, I mean mix with hand. It's gross but that's how it's done.

3. Line ziplock lid with plastic wrap. Take a ball of your meat mixture, and flatten it out in the ziplock lid. That's how it gets it's shape.

4. Heat up your frying pan to about medium/high heat. Fry on both sides, roughly 3-4 minutes each side depending on how fat your hamburger is!
