These patties are versatile, easy to prepare, and can be customized with various toppings and sides. In this article, we will guide you through the process of making breakfast patties with ground beef, ensuring that you have a delicious and nutritious meal to start your day.
Ingredients
Before you begin, gather the following ingredients:
– 1 pound of ground beef (80/20 or 90/10 fat content)
– 1 large egg
– 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup of diced onions
– 1/4 cup of diced bell peppers
– 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic
– 1/2 teaspoon of salt
– 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano
– 1/4 teaspoon of dried basil
– 2 tablespoons of olive oil
– Optional toppings: ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, cheese, or avocado
Instructions
1. Prepare the Vegetables: In a bowl, dice the onions, bell peppers, and garlic. Set them aside.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, diced onions, bell peppers, garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano, and basil. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Shape the Patties: Using your hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into evenly sized patties. You can make them as thick or thin as you prefer.
4. Cook the Patties: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the patties to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
5. Rest the Patties: Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. This will help them to hold their shape and be more tender.
6. Serve: Serve the patties hot, topped with your favorite toppings like ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, cheese, or avocado. You can also serve them with a side of hash browns, pancakes, or eggs for a complete breakfast.
