I enjoy making food from scratch. And this is really simple to make. Also so versatile because when rolled into smaller portions and they can become meatballs to go with spaghetti! Itadakimasu 😋

Steps

1

Mix ground beef with all the seasoning in a bowl.
2

Add more panko crumbs if mixture is still too wet to mould into shape.
3

Shape into burger patties about 1 inch thick.
4

Place patties into fry pan on medium high heat and cook one side for 2 minutes. Flip them over and cook until liquid starts to ooze out (indication of medium rare). Remove from pan and let rest for 5 more minutes before serving (to get perfect medium well). If well done is desired, turn off the heat and cover the pan for 5 minutes.
5

While resting aside or in the covered pan, toast burger buns in oven or another fry pan over low heat. Prepare sliced cheese, lettuce and tomato for garnishing. I also squeeze some ketchup and Japanese mayo to complete the dish. Serve and enjoy!
