Burger Skillet Recipes

PERFECT BURGER

Steps:

• Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
• IF USING A GRILL: Heat a gas grill to high or heat coals in a charcoal grill until they glow bright orange and ash over. Brush the burgers with the oil. Grill the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese; see step 3) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
• IF USING A GRILL PAN: Heat a grill pan over high heat on top of the stove. Cook the burgers as for a grill, above.
• IF USING A SAUTE PAN OR GRIDDLE (PREFERABLY CAST IRON): Heat the oil in the pan or griddle over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Cook the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
• Add the cheese, if using, to the tops of the burgers during the last minute of cooking and top with a basting cover, close the grill cover, or tent the burgers with aluminum foil to melt the cheese.
• Sandwich the hot burgers between the buns and serve immediately.

SAVORY SKILLET BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix ground beef, egg whites, sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, sea salt, steak seasoning, and parsley in a large bowl. Shape into 5 hamburger patties.
• Put patties in the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Flip and cook another 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium or medium-high, cover, and continue to cook, flipping occasionally, until burgers are cooked through and juicy, 5 to 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Top with liquid hickory smoke seasoning.

TACO SKILLET BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix ground beef, onions, and taco seasoning mix in a bowl. Shape into 4 hamburger patties.
• Cook patties in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Drain fat and wipe the skillet with a paper towel.
• Mix soup and water in a bowl. Pour over patties in the skillet; simmer until soup mixture is heated through, about 5 minutes. Mix in tomato, Cheddar cheese, corn chips, and olives. Scoop out the taco burgers and serve once cheese has melted.
