This method will make your burgers so sticky, there's no chance they'll ever break apart. In fact, if you accidently get some on your hands, it's kind of hard to get off.
Anyone who prepares their own hamburger patties, know that sometimes they don't always stick together when you're cooking them.
So I developed a 100% way to make them extra sticky before cooking them.
First I'll take two eggs and whisk them for a minute or two in a bowl. Whisking the eggs first seems to work better. Then pour that into my mixing bowl. Then add the seasonings I want. Then put 2lbs of hamburger meat into the mixer and mix on low for a minute. Then increase the speed in increments until it's on high for another minute or so. You'll see how the meat is sticking to the sides and not falling back into the mix.
I usually cook burgers on a cast iron skillet. So I'll use a wooden spoon to roll some meat into a ball, while it's still in the mixing bowl. Then put that ball into a hot skillet and shape it round. Then take the spatula and press it down as thick as I like it. Then just repeat this until all the meat is in the skillet.
I also use one of those rubber flexible utensils to scrap the edge of the bowl, so there's a LOT less clean up.
On a side note: When you're done, put some soapy water into the mixing bowl, along with they other dishes or utensils that got dirty. Clean up is a snap. Especially since you didn't have to touch the burger meat with your hands.
