Quick Hamburger Recipes

The very nature of the dish makes quick hamburger recipes plentiful - and also worthwhile! We love the hamburger for what it is, a simple and flavorsome dish that is easy to make, affordable and versatile, and while many prefer the basic original burger there are others who like to spice them up with added flavors, creating something entirely different.

Using the best possible ground beef available - the traditional meat for hamburgers - you can create a very simple and filling meal. Cooked in a skillet slowly and on a low heat the burger will give up most of its inherent fat, making this a healthy and lean meal as well as a delicious one.

Add finely chopped onions to taste, or garlic if you wish, and use herbs such as oregano, basil and sage sparsely and wisely. All of these add to the taste and excitement of the burger, and the traditional tomato sauce is a great addition too.

Many people choose to serve their burger in a bun - the traditional way - yet the beauty of quick hamburger recipes is that they include the options of gravy and other adornments, and you can use the hamburger meat in a variety of ways to create alternative dishes.

Chili, curries and many Italian pasta dishes use hamburger meat as the ingredient, and cooking up a chili takes no time at all. However, it is the standard, simple burger that is the king of all quick hamburger recipes, the one that we all love the most, and it is to this one that most of us turn when we want a simple and quick meal that is filling and tasty.

There is nothing like the hamburger for versatility and choice, and that the original is still as it was when first imported to America in the 19th century is testament to the popularity of this wonderful dish.
