    Best Ground Beef Burger EVER

    Don't believe me that these are the Best Ground Beef Burgers EVER?!! I double-dog dare you to try them and not concur. Go on. The challenge has been set!

    Uncooked ground beef burgers seasoned with salt and pepper.

    *Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2011. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

    So just yesterday I did a post on how easy it is to grind your own ground beef using short ribs and a food processor.  Today I post about how mouthwatering these burgers were. 

    Easily they were/are the BEST ground beef burgers EVER and I can't encourage you enough to try them for yourself.  You can thank me later 🙂

    For the sake of simplicity and to allow for full burger flavor, nothing was added to my ground beef except salt, pepper, and a simple slice of American cheese to top it all off. Feel free to add what you like but we needed to be purists for this first taste test.  

    Enough typing. I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking. 🙂

    OK, so if your mouth isn't watering at this point, maybe this next photo will send you running to the store to buy short ribs. 

    Lucky for us, I bought extra short ribs and they're in the freezer waiting for the next time I'll make homemade ground beef. 

    If it were up to my husband, we'd have these burgers just about every night.  Come to think of it, even I would be happy to eat these every night, but then my blog would become a very boring place. LOL

    Juicy, tender, beefy, pure, and perfect!  There, I said it again. These are the BEST burgers EVER!!! Honest!

      I should not have looked at this post at 8 a.m. on a Sunday morning. Those burgers look sooooo good! I've had burgers on my mind lately. I'll definitely make this recipe. Thank you!

      I bet these were the best ever! And I like that you know exactly what is in that burger!! As soon as I see a sale on short ribs, I'll pick some up.

      Yes, my mouth IS watering at these juicy marvels you've made here, Renee! I love a good beef burger (my husband not so much), and these look and sound fabulous.

      Never thought of grinding my own beef for burgers. They look absolutely amazing. And here I spent 11 bucks on a burger at a fancy burger joint last night. Criminal.

      I tried to grind my own beef once for burgers, but I think I chose the wrong cuts of meat, because every once in a while someone would bit into a piece of grissle!

      They look juicy and perfect (but in my opinion need hot sauce!)

      I live the the NW suburbs of Chicago - not too far from you 😀
