Let's make the most juiciest burger recipe ever…
Ingredients
You just need a few things to make ground beef patties for burgers.
- Delicious ground beef (try wagyu beef or 80 lean / 20 fat ground beef)
- Seasonings. In this simple hamburger patty recipe, you'll see salt and pepper. You could add a dash of garlic powder, too.
How to make burger patties from ground beef
Step 1. Add ground beef to a large bowl.
Break it up gently with hands or a spoon.
Add the salt and pepper to the ground beef. Mix seasonings with the ground beef gently until integrated.
Step 2. Separate the burger meat into four 8-ounce thick patties.
Form a ball, then flatten the burgers into disc shapes, a little bigger than the burger buns they'll go on.
Push down the center of the burgers, if desired, to make a 2-3" indent.
Add an additional sprinkle of salt and pepper to the outside of the burgers, if desired.
Finish hamburger patties any way you'd like. I usually make a big batch at a time, and freeze some for making sous vide burgers later.
Meal prepping tip: it's better tovacuum seal burgers from frozen. Learn more in this guide on how to vacuum seal meat .
For a classic burger, top with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and your sauce of choice.

- Texas-style bbq salt.
- For campfire burger vibes: liquid smoke and hickory smoked black pepper.
- For an enhanced flavor, add some worcestershire sauce and garlic powder.

Homemade Burger FAQs
How do you make hamburger patties that don't fall apart?
Using this hamburger patty recipe is a good start, because there aren't a lot of ingredients. When you add in other ingredients, you're adding in other variables to the burgers which can make burger meat fall apart. Also, using ground beef that is too lean (95% or above) doesn't have enough fat content in it to stay together easily.
Do homemade burgers need eggs?
No, homemade burgers don't need eggs to bind them. Other ground beef recipes like these low carb meatballs need eggs to help bind the ingredients because they have additional dry ingredients like bread crumbs and onions. Using this recipe to make beef burgers does not require any eggs. The few ingredients is why this is a very easy burger recipe.
How do you eat your burgers?
I will try them with almost any topping – except peanut butter. Well, maybe I'd try that but I've seen it out at some of the best Portland restaurants, but haven't ordered it! My husband Patrick swears the best burger patty recipe is a toss up between plain ol' BBQ sauce and fried onions, or something with fancy cheese – like blue cheese or gouda.
