Ingredients
Instructions

- Shape the mixture into hamburger patties.
- Barbecue or cook the patties until fully cooked and browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For a juicier burger, consider using ground chuck instead of ground round. If you want to reduce carbs, you can substitute the bread crumbs with crushed pork rinds or oatmeal. Don't skip the garlic; it adds a depth of flavor. If you're short on time, you can prepare the patties ahead of time and refrigerate them until ready to cook. For an extra kick, try adding some Worcestershire sauce.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Jane's Hamburgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, and pickles. They pair beautifully with sides like coleslaw or sweet potato fries. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside a fresh salad or the delicious Veggie Pizza(Appetizer). Don't forget to add condiments like ketchup, mustard, or BBQ sauce for added flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover hamburgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side, or microwave them for 1-2 minutes until heated through. If you prefer, you can also freeze the uncooked patties for up to 3 months and grill them from frozen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these hamburgers ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the hamburger patties a day in advance. Just shape them and store them in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap. They will marinate in the flavors and be ready to cook when you're set to grill.
What can I substitute for egg in this recipe?
If you're looking for an egg substitute, you can use a flaxseed meal mixed with water (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 2.5 tablespoons of water equals one egg). Alternatively, applesauce or mashed banana can work, but keep in mind they may add some sweetness to the flavor profile.
Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?
Absolutely! Ground turkey is a great leaner alternative to beef. Just be cautious as it can dry out more easily. Adding a bit more milk or a splash of olive oil can help maintain moisture. The flavor will differ slightly, but it will still be delicious.
