A most requested recipe for juicy burgers, whether you grill or pan fry them. Dissolving the salt and pepper in ice water distributes the spices evenly throughout the meat just as some sausage makers do when making sausage. Cook time depends on how well done you like your meat.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

salt and pepper
2 tablespoons ice water
1 lb ground chuck
2-3 crushed ice cubes

Directions

1
Dissolve salt and pepper in ice water.
2
Use at least 1/2 teaspoon of salt for each pound of meat you use.
3
Add spiced water to meat, then add crushed ice and work in gently.
4
Form 4 patties and grill or pan fry.

Thanks for the great recipe. The moistness of the raw ground beef made it easy to work with and form into patties. The cooked burgers were juicy and delicious. I loved that the salt and pepper seasonings were all through the burger. That's the first thing I noticed when I bit into mine. Thanks again for this great technique.

Marie what a JUICY burger! My family really enjoyed these burgers! I added onion, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro to the ground beef and cajun seasoning, liquid smoke and garlic powder to the water. I grilled them indoors. YUMMY! I will definitely only use this method for burgers from now on.
