Oh! So Good Broiled Hamburgers
Juicy broiled hamburgers with a flavorful blend of egg, ketchup, onions, and seasonings, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal on open-faced buns. Great for casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the hamburger, egg, ketchup, chopped onions, salt, pepper, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce together.
- Spread the mixture evenly on small open-faced hamburger buns.
- Broil until the burgers are cooked through, not too close to the heat.
Tips & Substitutions
For an even tastier burger, consider adding grated cheese directly into the mixture before broiling. If you want a lower-fat version, substitute ground turkey for hamburger. You can also use a mix of spices like garlic powder or smoked paprika instead of mustard for added flavor. If you prefer a bit of crunch, finely chopped bell peppers work well too. This recipe is versatile and can easily accommodate your favorite ingredients.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious broiled hamburgers with a side of crispy fries or a fresh salad for a complete meal. They pair beautifully with Smothered Green Cabbage, which adds a nice balance to the rich flavors of the burgers. Feel free to top the burgers with your favorite condiments like pickles, lettuce, or sliced tomatoes. For a fun twist, consider adding a slice of avocado or jalapeños for extra flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the burgers on a baking sheet and broil for 3-5 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 30 seconds, but broiling will help retain their texture and flavor better. Ensure they are heated evenly before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these hamburgers ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the hamburger mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. When ready to cook, simply spread it on the buns and broil as instructed. This also allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the taste of the burgers.
What type of buns should I use?
Any small open-faced hamburger buns work great for this recipe. You can use whole wheat, brioche, or gluten-free buns depending on your dietary preferences. Just ensure they can hold the mixture without becoming soggy, and feel free to toast them lightly before adding the burger mixture for added texture.
Can I freeze the hamburger mixture?
Yes, you can freeze the hamburger mixture! Place it in an airtight container or freezer bag and it will last for up to 3 months. When you're ready to cook, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before spreading it on the buns and broiling. This is a great way to have a quick meal on hand.
