Hamburgerpastry Recipes

JUICIEST HAMBURGERS EVER

Steps:

• Preheat grill for high heat.
• In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, evaporated milk, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, and garlic using your hands. Form the mixture into 8 hamburger patties.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill patties 5 minutes per side, or until well done.

BEEF PASTIES

Steps:

• For the filling: In a bowl, blend the bacon, beef, potatoes, carrots, onions, peas, garlic, salt, pepper, ginger and nutmeg, mixing well, ensuring not to break the peas. Hold cold until construction.
• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Portion the pastry in 8 triangles, allowing the dough to soften. Next, brush the interior of the dough with egg wash. Fill with 2 to 3 ounces of filling. Bring the tip of the triangle to the edge to fold the sides and seal the pasties. Press the sides down to seal and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

HAMBURGER PATTIES

Steps:

• Sometimes I vary the seasonings- using a steak seasoning or Cajun seasoning instead of salt and pepper.
• Mix ingredients with your hands using a light touch.
• Don't be tempted to overmix.
• If you do, it becomes too dense.
• When charcoal grilling, add 1/2 cup water to the beef mixture to keep it from drying out.
• For pan frying, don't use a nonstick pan- it won't brown as well, and heat some oil in the pan before adding burgers to keep the burgers from sticking and to help sear and form a nice brown, crispy exterior.
• Either method will take about 10- 12 minutes of cooking time, depending on thickness of patty, temperature of heat source and your preference (we like ours medium cooked).
• Note: when pan-frying don't be tempted to press down and squeeze all the juice out, just turn them more often (turn only once on the grill).

HAMBURGER PATTIES

Steps:

• Make 4 or 6 balls, place them on parchment or wax paper and cover with another piece of paper. With the bottom of a skillet or can, press the balls into patties, 1 to 1i inches thick. Grill over hot coals, sear in a hot cast-iron skillet over medium heat or broil in the oven 3 to 6 minutes per side, depending on the size of the patty.

HAMBURGER PASTRY

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cook and stir the meat and onion in a large skillet until the meat is brown.
• Drain off the excess fat.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients except the pie crust mix and set aside.
• Prepare the pastry as for a 2 crust pie as directed on the package.
• Divide the pastry into 8 equal parts.
• Roll each part, on a lightly floured surface, into a 7-inch circle.
• On half of the circle, spread about 1/4 cup of the meat mixture (packed) to within 1/2-inch of the edge.
• Moisten the edge of the pastry with water and fold over the meat mixture, sealing the edges with a fork.
• Place on an ungreased baking sheet and prick the tops with the fork.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes.
• You can serve these as sandwiches or, if you prefer, place on a plate and top with gravy or sauce.
• NOTE: You can substitute 1 cup of your favorite cooked vegetable for the peas or carrots in this recipe.

HAMBURGER PIE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients; mix well and set aside. In another bowl, toss baking mix and milk until a soft dough forms. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-in. pie plate. Line ungreased pie plate with pastry. Fill with meat mixture; trim and flute edges. Bake at 375° for 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
