Cook your burger patties to desired doneness in a frying pan.
Burgers are a key product in the fast food industry. However, burgers are also a dish that is easy to prepare at home. Choose the type of burger to suit your taste. Choices include beef, turkey or vegetarian patties. Add desired toppings, such as mushrooms or tomatoes, to add more flavor to the burger, or just eat it plain. Cooking a burger patty in a frying pan is quick and easy. Start with fresh ground meat or use frozen patties. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
1. Prepare your burger patty. Season your ground meat with your favorite seasoning. Flatten and shape the ground meat to form patties about 1/2 inch thick and match the width to the size of your bun. Or use frozen pre-packaged patties. Do not thaw.
2. Turn on your stovetop burner to medium heat.
3. Place your frying pan on the heat to warm it up for four minutes. Spray the pan with cooking spray if it is not a non-stick pan.
4. Place the patty in the pan and cook until the edges brown.
5. Flip the burger patty once and cook the other side the same length of time it took the first side to brown. Cooking times will vary based on the individual characteristics of your stove and how well done you want the patty cooked.
6. Use a food thermometer to test the internal temperature of a meat patty to verify that it cooked to 160 degrees Fahrenheit for ground beef, pork, veal and lamb. Test for 165 degrees for ground turkey and chicken.
7. Remove burger patty from the pan.
8. Place the burger patty on a bun and add your preferred condiments.
