Grandpa Elmer's Hamburgers
"My dad made the BEST hamburger's!"
- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Serves:
-
12
ingredients
- 3 lbs ground chuck
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons season salt (I prefer LAWRY's)
directions
- Good Ground chuck works best -- you want a little fat in your ground beef or it'll be dry & tasteless. 80/20 is a good ratio.
- Mix all the ingredients, well.
- Form into 1/4 lb. patties.
- Place on a preheated grill or hot fry pan (cast iron works the best).
- Cook on both sides, until desired doneness (DO NOT COVER!).
- Top with a slice of good Wisconsin cheese, such as Med. Cheddar or Colby.
- Place on toasted buns or between 2 slices of bread.
- Use your favorite toppings.
- One of our favorites is topping with a slice of cheese & a fried egg.
- ENJOY!

R u my sis?<br/>Same recipe that I grew up loving from my mom!<br/>Haven't found one better, and I'm a self proclaimed burger connoisseur or how ever ya spell er', lol -
These were really good burgers!! I only used 1/2 pound of ground beef. I put one egg in it and added more onions. I put some shredded cheddar cheese on the burger and put a lid on the pan and cooked it until the cheese melted. It was really good that way. The burger was nice and most and tasty. I had your Recipe #305705 with my burger. It was a great combination and make for a great meal. I will be making these again Thank you for sharing your recipe. Made for PAC Fall '08.

<p><strong>The only thing I like better than cooking, is eating! I learned a lot about cooking from my Dad & an ornery old Norwegian cook, that I used to work for. <br />I don't get into fancy foods...just good ol' down-home, stick-to-your-ribs vittles...I'm a COOK...NOT a Chef! I <span>LUV</span> to bbq & grill!!<img title=Cool src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cool.gif border=0 alt=Cool /> Except for pies, I don't do much baking, such as cookies, bars or cakes...that's the wife's dept. & believe me, she does a mighty FINE job!!! <br />I'm a firm believer that flavored coffee & flavored beer should be OUTLAWED & I will NOT eat Lima Beans or Lutefisk...YUK!!! <img title=Yell src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /><br />Our favorite place to eat is Old Abe's...a local supper club located on a wooded back-road! We also enjoy Panera Bread, Dickey's BBQ & Picanha Brazillian Steak House!!!<br />I've been married since 1977 to the most wonderful lady a man could ever ask for. We have 9 beautiful Grandkids...5 girls 4 boys, a VERY SPOILED white German Shephard (Tori) & a VERY goofy cat (Angel)! (Both of these are rescued animals.) <br />We collect antique gasoline engines & attend several shows here in the Midwest.I also enjoy ice fishing, Milwaukee Brewers baseball, WI Badger football, but most of all, we're HUGE GREEN BAY PACKERS Fans!!!!!
