These Homemade Burgers are absolutely mouthwatering! They are the BEST homemade beef burgers you’ll ever make and you only need 10 simple ingredients. Perfectly juicy and seasoned, you won’t want to have frozen store-bought burgers again!

These easy juicy homemade burgers are so meaty and packed with flavor. Whether you plan on grilling these beef burgers during a cookout or year-round on the stovetop, these burgers will always be a hit. Load it up with your favorite toppings or enjoy it with just some ketchup and mustard! 

Want another summer favorite? Try my Hawaiian Chicken Skewers or Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken. Both are always on the menu when we have a BBQ and I’ll bet your family will love them as much as mine! My Fried Chicken Sandwich is a fan favorite as well!

Why You’ll Love This Beef Burger Recipe

  • It’s so easy to make. You can whip up a batch in a couple of minutes and have them ready on the grill ASAP. Even better, you can make them ahead of time if you want to spend your morning before your BBQ relaxing.
  • It’s a kid-friendly recipe. What kid doesn’t want a huge burger for dinner? Plus they can customize it to how they like it so they’ll love it even more! Want a cheeseburger? Place a slice of cheese on top for them. 
  • It’s freezer-friendly. Make a large batch and freeze half for later!

What You’ll Need

  • Ground beef: I like using 90/10 ground beef for the juiciest burgers.
  • Onion: you’ll have to grate it then drain excess liquid with a towel or sieve.
  • Ketchup: a little goes a long way.
  • Yellow mustard: you can swap with Dijon mustard if you’d like.
  • BBQ sauce: use your favorite one!
  • Seasoning: you’ll need paprika, black pepper, and salt.
  • Breadcrumbs: to help bind everything together and keep the burger juicy.
  • Burger buns: make your own burger buns or buy your favorite!
Ingredients needed to make homemade burgers.

How To Make Homemade Burgers

  • Preheat the grill.
  • Mix everything together: In a bowl, mix together the beef with all the other ingredients.

  • Make the patties: Divide into 3-4 equal parts, depending on how big or thick you want the patties to be. 3 is usually the perfect size.

  • Grill the burgers: Spray the grill with some oil spray and grill to desired doneness.
  • Enjoy: Serve in a bun with preferred toppings and your favorite side dish. 

Tips and Notes

  • Don’t over mix or you’ll end up with dense burgers. Use your hands to mix the ingredients for the best results.
  • When grilling the burgers, don’t press down on them! It’ll squish out the juices.
  • Avoid using beef that is too lean as you need the fat in the meat to make juicy flavorful burgers.
  • Feel free to use a grill pan on the stovetop if you prefer.
  • You want to shape the hamburger patties to be slightly larger than the buns you buy as they’ll shrink a bit in when cooked.
  • To check for doneness, insert an instant read thermometer through the side of a burger into the center. The internal temperature should be about 145°F to 160°F.
  • Try using pretzel buns or brioche buns to change things up!

FAQs

What does adding breadcrumbs to burgers do?

Don’t skip the breadcrumbs! Breadcrumbs in the ground beef will absorb the natural juices during the cooking process and then the liquid will release that moisture back into the burger patty as it rests so you end up with juicy burgers. 

How long do these last?

Homemade cooked hamburger patties will keep well tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, or in an airtight container, in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can keep the raw patties for up to 2 days in the fridge before grilling.

How do I freeze burger patties?

You can freeze cooked beef patties for up to 3 months. Be sure to wrap them tightly and place them in an airtight container. If raw, place them in a single layer on a lined sheet pan and freeze immediately. Transfer to an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. Thaw in the fridge before grilling.

What can I serve with burgers?

Serve the burgers with my Crispy Air Fryer French Fries, Crispy Potato Wedges, Roasted Garlic Bread, or Mexican Street Corn. Such easy and delicious side dishes!
