Do Hamburger Patties need eggs and oatmeal to stay together?!


Question: Do Hamburger Patties need eggs and oatmeal to stay together!?
This summer I want to make my own patties after reading that burger patties that you buy frozen are not all 100 ground beef!.

I remember trying to make my own along time ago but the always fell apart, I used egg and oatmeal!.

A Friend just told me I don't need egg, crumbs or oatmeal!.

He's said he just adds a salt and pepper and makes patties out of it and they stay together!. Just get ground beef with fat in it!.

Is this ture I don't need to add egg or bread cumbs!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
1 POUND OF 85 /15 BURGER AND 1 ENVELOPE DRY ONION SOUP MIX IS ALL YOU NEED FOR GREAT BURGERS!. NO FILLER CRAP!.

MAKE THE PATTIES THEN HEAT THE GRILL!.

IF YOU ADD ALL THE EGGS AND CRUMBS ALL YOU ARE DOING IS FRYING A MEATLOAF!. GROSS

I never add egg or breadcrumbs!. I just season the meat really well and sometimes I mix the meat with some chopped onions and green pepper!. Sometimes the meat can be a bit soggy and that makes it a little harder to keep together, but it can still be done!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you dont need anything!

seasoning!.!.!.let it cook for a while before flipping so it has time to cook itself together!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your friend is right!. You want to use at least 80% lean because without fat you will have flavorless dry burgers!. 100% beef will not fall apart unless you are a maniac with the spatula!. Burgers fall apart easier the more stuff you add to them!. If you add bread crumbs (like italian flavored) you'd need an egg as a binder!. I personally like to add powdered vegetabal soup mix, and a little water to the beef, then let it sit for 20 min before forming patties!. You won't need an egg for that!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i always use eggs and bread crumbs so i really don't know if it will stick together with just ground beef!. maybe he uses the really fatty kind!. i think if you pack it together enough and let it sit on your pan or grill until it's time to flip!.!.!.flip it carefully!.!.!.i think it's possible! i can't imagine hamburger without the eggs or bread though!. good luck and aloha!Www@FoodAQ@Com

My mom makes hers with Eggs and Oatmeal!.!.!.I just use eggs and sometimes breadcrumbs if it is mushy!.!.!.!.but I always use extra-lean beef and you need the eggs to keep it moist!.

If you use regular ground beef you might not need it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i dont know about oatmeal, but definelty eggs!Www@FoodAQ@Com

noooo, try this is delicious! 1 pd groud beef, 2 eggs, 1 cup of bread crums, 2 onion well chopped, salt & pepper!.!.!.!. you can put scallions n others as you prefer, mix everything WELL!.
