Sam's Pro Tips for this Easy Burger Patty Recipe

Rub Olive Oil on the Grill

So, griller's tip for this burger patty recipe without breadcrumbs is to rub olive oil on the grill rack to prevent sticking!

Now this is not absolutely necessary, but by dipping a paper towel in olive oil and using tongs to rub over the grill rack, this will help removing and flipping the burger patty. Easy!

Marinate and Marinate Some More

Similar to our Filipino Fried Chicken Recipe with Lemon and Fish Sauce , don't skip out on marinating your meat! The winner tip right here!

This garlic burger patty recipe marinates in a rich blend of herbs, onions, and seasoning to create that juicy patty full of flavor. What's more, onions in burger patty add an incredible level of freshness while it marinates.

Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight. I like to make my easy burger patty recipe the day before so it's ready for our barbecue the next day!

The Perfect Patty Size

Depending on the type of buns used, you can alter the size of each burger patty. However, for regular burger buns we like to make them a quarter pound each.

The result? Each of these delicious burger patties weigh 4 ounces each which I get by using a KITCHEN FOOD SCALE. Super easy to do!

With everything that goes into this rosemary burger recipe, you'll get about 10 patties at 4 ounces each shaped into a circular figure for the bun.

Why No Breadcrumbs?

You don't need it in this burger patty recipe without breadcrumbs! The binder in this patty recipe is the diced onion combined with the egg and olive oil.

Therefore, the breadcrumbs are one less item to buy and usually is added for a crunch to the patties. The onions will serve this purpose. Plus, onions taste way fresher than breadcrumbs!

Key Ingredients – Easy Burger Patty Recipe

Below are some key and optional ingredients for this recipe:

• Ground beef: You can get Angus ground beef or lean ground beef for these delicious burger patties as either will work. Don't worry about fat content, unless you want to be a little bit healthier!

• Onion: The minced onion is the filler in this easy burger patty recipe. Dice ½ an onion to combine with the ground beef for a fresh level of flavor.

• Rosemary: Dried rosemary is used with the patties and works wonderfully to elevate the ground beef.  Side note, rosemary also works beautifully in fish like our Nutritious Honey Baked Salmon with Dijon Mustard !

• Garlic powder: Using garlic powder adds a ton of flavor and is a lot easier to work with than minced garlic. Who likes to do all that peeling and mincing? The garlic powder is the secret winner in the recipe.

• Basil: The dried basil is a favorite in our ground beef similar to The Ultimate Filipino Spaghetti Sauce Recipe , which also uses a full tablespoon! Remember, dried herbs can be a lot more potent than fresh herbs so a little goes a long way.

• Eggs: This burger patty recipe with egg is what creates the smooth consistency and holds everything together. Mix the egg first before combining with the ground beef mixture!

• Olive oil: Couple tablespoons of olive oil with the egg will help hold everything together and adds a nice flavor.
