This easy Homemade Beef Burger Recipe<\/strong> will have you skip the drive-through and head home to chow down on these instead! Super easy, only 5 ingredients!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try my BBQ Pork Burgers<\/a><\/strong>, or my Grilled Chicken Satay Skewers<\/a><\/strong> on the grill, too! Serve these burgers with a pile of crispy potato wedges<\/a>, or sweet potato wedges <\/a>for that drive-thru feel at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m as guilty as the next person of hitting up the drive through on the way to or from something, or just to satisfy a craving for a big fat juicy burger. That said, I’m usually disappointed. Wilted lettuce, mushy tomatoes, onions that taste… odd… and squished buns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there’s the beef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like my burgers to be hot, juicy and full of flavor. There’s nothing wrong with fast food, but I do find that there’s no real flavor in the beef. I get that they’re convenient; I consider these burgers fast-ISH food. I can make em, grill em and get them on the table faster than it would take to run down to the local burger joint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>The best ground beef for a homemade beef burger:<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I like between 15-20% fat for my burgers to keep them rich, tender and, um. Moist. There. I said it<\/em>. Leaner cuts of meat are dryer (you want a JUICY burger, people!), and don’t have as much flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n
