Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the ground sirloin, salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder until evenly combined. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and then shape each into thin square patties. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 30 minutes.
• Heat a large griddle or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the frozen meat patties on the pan. You might have to cook them in batches. Press down with a spatula and cook for about 4 minutes on the first side. Flip over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the second side. Turn off the pan and place a slice of cheese on top of each patty and allow to melt.
• Toast the buns and place the remaining cheese slices on top of the bottom buns. To assemble the burgers, place a burger patty on top, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Spread the top buns with mayo and ketchup and place on top of the burgers. Serve immediately.

DELICIOUS BREADED CHICKEN BURGERS

Steps:

• In a bowl: Add ground chicken, egg, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder together. Add in bread crumbs, milk, gently combine with hands. Set aside.
• In 3 shallow bowls: Bowl 1: beaten egg with water. Bowl 2: seasoned flour with salt & pepper, Bowl 3: seasoned bread crumbs.
• Using 1/3 cup measuring cup as a measuring tool, scoop out your burger portions.
• HINT: I found it was less messy to drop the scoop of meat into the flour, turn it over, lift it out of the flour, then form into patty.
• Coat both sides of chicken patty with flour, dip in egg wash, then pat into the breadcrumbs to coat.
• At this point I placed patties on a platter, covered with plastic wrap and put them in the fridge for 1-2 hours. This step is not necessary but can be done ahead of time. It will allow the flavors to develop.
• Panfry in (4 Tablespoons) cooking oil for about 4 minutes on each side. *add a little oil at a time, add more when you flip the chicken if necessary. Add more cooking time if your burgers are plump. Do not over cook or they will dry out.
• Serving suggestions: on soft buns with sliced dill pickles, mayonaise, honey mustard or spicy , tomato slices and lettuce or whatever you like.
