Cook's notes

  • For extra flavor, sauté the chopped onion first before mixing into the beef mixture.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs for a lighter texture in your patties.
  • Let the patties rest for 2 minutes after cooking to retain their juices.

Easy swaps

  • Instead of lean ground beef, use ground turkey or chickenFor a lighter version, ground turkey works well, but add a tablespoon of olive oil to keep it moist.
  • Instead of egg white, use 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons waterA vegan-friendly binder that holds patties together nicely.
  • Instead of milk, use unsweetened almond milk or oat milkDairy-free alternatives work perfectly without altering flavor.
  • Instead of fresh mushrooms, use canned mushrooms (drained) or rehydrated dried mushroomsCanned mushrooms save prep time; dried mushrooms add deeper umami.
