Basil Pan Burgers
Ingredients
-
1
egg, slightly beaten
-
1/4
cup chopped onion
-
1/4
cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
2
tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs
-
2
tablespoons snipped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
-
2
tablespoons ketchup
-
1
clove garlic, minced
-
1/4
teaspoon salt
-
1/4
teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1
pound lean ground beef
-
Nonstick cooking spray
-
4
whole wheat hamburger buns, split and toasted
-
Fresh basil leaves (optional)
-
4
tomato slices
Directions
1. In a medium bowl combine egg, onion, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, snipped basil, ketchup, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add ground beef; mix well. Shape meat mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
2. Lightly coat a heavy skillet with cooking spray (or use a heavy nonstick skillet).* Preheat skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add patties. Reduce heat to medium and cook, uncovered, for 12 to 15 minutes or until temperature registers 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, turning meat once halfway through cooking. If meat browns too quickly, reduce heat to medium-low. Serve patties on buns with basil leaves, if desired, and tomato slices.
3. Makes 4 sandwiches
From the Test Kitchen
- Note *To prepare on a indoor grill, preheat grill according to manufacturer's directions. Place patties on the grill rack. If using a covered grill, close lid. Grill until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F. For a covered grill, allow 5 to 7 minutes. For an uncovered grill, allow 14 to 18 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling. Serve as above.

We made this using dry basil and it really packed a taste. Will be making these again.

6/22/2010 10:25:17 AM Report AbuseGreat burgers! My husband and I are watching calories so we use the 95% lean ground turkey and paired it with a strawberry/avocado spring salad. It was delicious. The burgers did need a tad bit more salt, but other than that, its a wonderful recipe
