Not to be mistaken with the EGG Western Omelettes. Delicious Hamburger, Onion, Green Pepper, and Egg patties will leave you coming back for seconds. My family can’t get enough of them.
this batch makes about a dozen and are at leftover sandwiches if they make it that far.
Its important to use Fresh 90-96% lean ground Chuck. Now days they add water to the meat and the fat of 80% lean seems to fall apart when cooking.
1 lb fresh ground Chuck Hamburger. 96% Xtra lean
1 c Minced Onion packed (sweet onion).
1 c packed Minced Green Pepper.
1 tsp Salt.
1/2 tsp Pepper.
6 Eggs beaten.
1/4 c Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce.
1 cube of Butter to Sauté with
You will need a very thin Metal spatula to use to flip these.
Preheat oven to 200° and set a heat proof plate or cookie sheet in the oven to heat up.
Mix all ingredients together with a good dough whisk or a large salad serving fork, mix until the burger is well incorporated.
Take a spoonful of the mixture out and pour it onto a microwaveable saucer, zap for about 20 seconds. Let it cool. Taste the meat, at this point you can add more salt, pepper, worchestershire, onion or pepper. Now is the time to add more. I don’t. Careful with the salt, the Butter has some in it too and adds flavor.
Preheat a griddle to med hot, the butter should sizzle when you drop a drop of water on it. Drop the 1 Tbsp Butter onto the Griddle and then ladle a partial scoop of the hamburger mixture onto the griddle, not too much or you may not be able to flip it, it spreads out some. Gently pat out the mixture like pancake batter… careful not to make them too thin. These are fragile so they need to be thick enough to flip without falling apart. After about 3-5 min, and when the tops are getting bubbly and greyish color. See pic below.
Carefully, using a very thin metal spatula, pushing the blade firmly onto the surface of the griddle, slide about 1-2” under the patty, and go around the edge like that, loosening the patty from the bottom of the pan. Don’t fret if you break one, it takes practice and a firm and gentle touch.. scoot around all the edges before attempting to flip. Flip low to the griddle . Cook another 3-5 min to brown the other side. Repeat the process of scooting the spatula under all sides sand body of the patty before picking it up. move the patties to the pre-warmed plate in the oven. Scrape the griddle clean. I put the crumbs into a cup on the side of the pan.
Repeat the process of butter on the griddle, then scooping the meat mixture etc until all finished.
I usually like to serve these with Potatoes, scalloped Potatoes, fried or mashed, and green beans. But whatever you like. I have even served them with my homemade Rice A Roni, made in the Instant Pot.(recipe in files) or Rice.
My hubby likes Catsup or Steak Sauce on them.
