Instructions

1 ✓

In a bowl, mix the ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper. Knead thoroughly.

Tip: The egg and crumbs act as a binder, keeping the crumbly meat together during cooking.
2 ✓

Form 4 equal, firm patties. Press a small indentation in the center with your thumb, then refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Tip: The indentation prevents the meat from doming up into a ball while cooking. Chilling helps the fat set so the patty holds together better.
3 ✓

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side until a nice crust forms and they are cooked through.

Tip: Flip only once! Excessive flipping prevents a crust from forming.
4 ✓

In the last minute, place cheese on top and cover the pan to melt it.

Tip: Steam will melt the cheese instantly, coating the meat.
5 ✓

Toast the cut side of the buns. Spread with mayo, add lettuce, patty with cheese, and tomato.

Tip: Toasting the bun caramelizes sugars and creates a protective layer so the sauce doesn't make the bread soggy immediately.

Recipe FAQ

Why add breadcrumbs?
Seal meat can be very lean and moist. Breadcrumbs help hold the shape and absorb moisture.
How well should I cook it?
Game meats are recommended to be cooked through for safety, but be careful not to dry it out.
