6
ingredients
- 453.59 g ground beef
- 59.14 ml milk (I use skim with good results)
- 118.29 ml breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 2.46 ml paprika
- 1 small onion, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 14.79 ml lime juice
- 14.79 ml ketchup
- salt and pepper
- 6 hamburger buns
- shoestring potatoes (Papitas Fritas)
directions
- In a small bowl, combine milk and breadcrumbs. Let sit for a moment or two for the crumbs to absorb the milk.
- In a larger bowl, mix together the beef, egg, paprika, onion, garlic, lime juice, ketchup and the bread crumb/milk mixture.
- Make sure it is well combined and then cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors come together. I left it for about 24 hours with good results.
- Form into patties and either fry in a little olive oil or grill over hot coals (they will stick to your grill so oil well). They should be cooked through, not rare (as I usually like it). We grilled them (1/2 lb burgers) for about 5-6 minutes per side.
- Serve them on buns and top with the shoestring potatoes if desired along with a little more ketchup.
