Do you make your hamburgers from scratch or do you buy them already

i always make it from scratch because it only takes a second and you know exactly what's in it.

I have to convince my wife to make hamburgers from scratch, they,re far tastier than the bought ones. Unfortunately she is very busy, so mostly it's the frozen variety.

I make mine from scratch I do not like the freezer made patties at all.

sounds delicious!! but i seldom cook hamburger..if ever i usually buy them from grocery store..im lazy i guess..like food that are ready to cook(mixed) ...simple and easy..

I like mine made from scratch. I usually have ground beef in my freezer from the split quarter I buy from a farm near here. My husband makes the best burgers on the grill, and I finally got him to make them the way I like them best, which is a little crunchy on the outside, and pink on the inside. We use different spices or fillings for variety, like sometimes we have chopped up mushrooms or diced cheese mixed in with meat.

I like them made from scratch. I cannot stand the frozen patties because there's not as much flavor and they're a bit um...chunky. I don't want to bite into my hamburger and come away with a chunk that's hard to chew!

Usually we buy rfesh hamberger meat with about 80% something lean for we grill them mostly and need the fat to cook with. garlic sallt and ,pepper with fried or tater tots baked or mashed potatoes and veggie some times I use a bun sometimes not dont care if I am part any thing thats the way I like them.

Whenever possible I make my own and add cheese, fresh minced parsley, eggs, breadcrumbs and a few spices. I have a metal hamburger press (and a few plastic ones) that form nice nice burgers then I use square wax paper sheets to separate them and freeze them. Whenever we want burgers on the grill I'll pull them out the night before and let them thaw and then have great burgers the next day.

I make them both ways; however, scratch are healthier with less fat. I don't serve hamburgers often any longer, but sure love to eat them.

I rarely make hamburgers cause i dont have a bbq and i like my burgers on a grill! hehe But when i do i make them myself, i dont like teh taste of those crappy steakettes or whatever you call them. They dont taste like a real burger of any sort that i've ever had. I like to add bits of onions and bbq sauce in them, i've never done the egg thing but i think my mom used to do that. And when i worked in a donair place we used to use breadcrumbs as filler so that the cones would stick together without falling apart on the spit. mmm donairs. They do not really made them here, at least not the same way.

I must admit to having taken the "lazy" way out a time or two long ago, for cook-outs and the like, but for years now I've done nothing but make my burgers from scratch. There have been too many recalls of the pre-made patties, for one thing, and as you said they're so full of fat and they don't really taste like beef at all I don't think! That's why I don't care for McDonald's hamburgers, you just can't taste the good beef flavor. Annie

I generally buy the hamburger and make it into patties. I have bought the frozen ones before but that was back when we were foster parents and I was rarely home enough to actually cook. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

i make mine from scratch its cheaper that way and if you don't use all the hamburger that you added the spices to right a way you can use it in a spaghetti sauce later

I sometimes make our hamburger patty from scratch - ground beef, spices, egg. My daughter prefer it than those we bought frozen from stores. I also like it that way because I know how the food was prepared.

I often make hamburgers from scratch. My son loves eating egg, brown beans, cucumber and cheese. So I always prepare hamburgers for him using bun, fried eggs, brown beans and cucumber plus chilli sauce. Sometimes I use only bread, smashed potatoes mixed with cheese and eggs and slices of cucumber topper with sprinkle of peanut and chilli sauce.

I make them from stratch using 1/2 venision 1/2 93% ground beef with an egg, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onions/bell peppers, and a few herbs as well.

i buy the patties-i can't make a pattie for beans LOL i know how to make it in theory,but it usually falls apart on me. some of the store bought is so greasy though.you drain a ton off it before it's cooked.

i like to make my burgers from scratch. i like to add my own seasonings so it can taste the way i want it to.

I've never made a hamburger from scratch. I'm from a big family (six kids), so my parents always bought hamburgers at the store either in the frozen patties or a frozen hamburger that included the bun. I know it may seem easier for a family like ours to do it that way, but I'd love to make our own hamburgers because we would know what's in it! That's the thing about going to all of those fast food places too. You never know what you're going to get! (LOL) The biggest reason I wish we made our own is because I'm allergic to milk and have other food allergies as well. I'd rather make my own than have to read a mile-long ingredients label, if you know what I mean! And the print on those things is so tiny like they don't want you to read it or something! (LOL) Just about everything has milk in it, so I've pretty much given up on staying away from it. Eating it won't kill me just because I have the allergy. It's just more annoying than anything else. Great discussion. I never even thought about making my own or what all goes into making burgers. Thanks for sharing!

i like to buy ready made burgers. its just that i was too lazy to make one. it just about php12 to php20 in philippine peso but it taste grate and i love the topings. mmmmm especially with eggs.
