Tasty Hamburgers
Juicy, flavorful hamburgers made with ground round and seasoned with onion soup mix, perfect for quick weeknight dinners or casual gatherings with friends.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix ground round, dry onion soup, and water together in a bowl.
- Divide the mixture into 5 equal portions and shape each into a patty.
- Cook the patties in an ungreased Teflon frying pan over medium heat until browned and cooked through.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating minced garlic or Worcestershire sauce into the beef mixture. If you're looking for a healthier option, you can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground round. To enhance the patties, try mixing in some shredded cheese or diced jalapeños. These hamburgers pair well with sides from classic American recipes like fries or coleslaw.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these tasty hamburgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, and condiments. For a refreshing side, pair them with Ann'S Rice Salad or Fresh Market Fruit Salad. You can also add a side of crispy potato wedges or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover patties can be stored 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. You can also freeze uncooked patties, separating them with parchment paper, for up to 3 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these hamburgers ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the patties in advance and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking. Alternatively, shape and freeze the patties, then grill or pan-fry them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
What can I use instead of McCormick dry onion soup?
If you don't have McCormick dry onion soup, you can create a similar flavor by using a combination of dried onion flakes, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Alternatively, try seasoning the meat with your favorite spices or a homemade onion soup mix.
How do I know when the hamburgers are fully cooked?
To ensure your hamburgers are fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). The patties should be browned on the outside and no longer pink in the center. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
