Tips for Perfect Patties
To ensure your patties stay juicy and flavorful, handle the meat gently and avoid overworking it while shaping. This helps maintain tenderness. Additionally, making a small indentation in the center of each patty can prevent them from puffing up while cooking, ensuring they cook evenly and maintain their shape.
Seasoning is key! Be generous with salt and pepper, and if you want an extra kick, consider adding Worcestershire sauce to the ground beef mixture. This can enhance the umami flavor of the patties, making your burgers even more delicious.
Storage and Reheating
If you have leftover patties or sauce, store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Cooked patties can last up to 3 days, while the sauce should be used within a week. When reheating, avoid microwave cooking if possible, as it can lead to dry burgers, and opt for a skillet or grill to maintain moisture and flavor.
If you’re looking to freeze patties, shape them and place parchment paper between each one in a freezer-safe bag. They can last up to three months in the freezer. When ready to cook, thaw them in the fridge overnight and grill or pan-sear as directed. This way, you can enjoy a homemade meal anytime!
