I’m not sure if you’re keeping track or not, but this is the third variation I’ve shared in two weeks using the exact same recipe. Woohoo for easy versatility! Today we’re taking our Simple Make-Ahead Parmesan Meatball recipe and basically smashing the mixture into Simple Make-Ahead Parmesan Burgers. Are we smart or are we smart?
The idea came to me as I was working ahead to make a bunch of Parmesan Meatballs for the freezer. Either I got tired of scooping out meatballs, or I got a brilliant idea. It might have been both. After scooping out about 2 1/2 pounds of meatballs, I decided to abort my meatball endeavor. I took my remaining mixture and formed it into burger patties. I froze them, then we pulled them out to fry another day.
Fantabulous!
Might I recommend that you make these Simple Make-Ahead Parmesan Burgers with a side of Sweet Potato Fries or Simple Seasoned Potato Wedges?
Simple Make-Ahead Parmesan Burgers
- 2 pounds ground beef or turkey
- 2 eggs
- 3 Tablespoons dried minced onion
- ½ cup shredded (or grated) parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Mix all ingredients together until well combined.
- Press together burger-sized patties.
- Fry in a skillet or on a grill for 8-12 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink.
- Serve right away, or refrigerate or freeze cooked burgers to easily reheat for a meal later.
- OR, freeze the prepared raw burgers, thaw as needed, and fry as directed.
