A delightful combination of savory meatballs and juicy burgers, served with fresh veggies and crispy sides. Perfect for family gatherings or a weeknight meal!
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef 80% lean
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil for cooking
- 4 buns burger buns for burgers
- 1/2 cup lettuce for garnish
- 1/4 cup cheese shredded (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Divide the meat mixture into small portions and roll into meatballs. For burgers, form the mixture into patties that fit your burger buns.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. For the burgers, cook the patties in the same skillet for 4-5 minutes on each side, until fully cooked.
- To assemble the burgers, place a cooked patty on a bun and top with sliced tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and shredded cheese if desired.
- Serve the meatballs on a plate with a side of fresh veggies and enjoy the burger with crispy fries or chips.
Notes
Feel free to customize your burger with other toppings like pickles, cheese, or condiments of your choice. For extra flavor, add herbs like oregano or parsley to the meat mixture!
