From choosing the right ingredients to mastering the cooking technique, we've got you covered. Plus, we'll dive into how to make different types of patties so you can impress everyone with your burger skills. Get ready to elevate your burger game to new heights!🤩
Tips for making ‘the perfect burger’,
Bread: Whatever type of bread you prefer, such as butter enriched burger buns, sesame seed buns, classic burger buns, or "açma"(brioche like pastry) that you can find in Turkish bakeries, be sure to toast and crackle it a little first.
Sauces: Ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard all add flavour and act as insulation, thus adding flavour and texture to the crispiness of the hamburger bun. Big mac sauce or ranch dressing also adds another dimension. Recipes are below.
Cheese: You can melt cheese, such as burger cheese, string cheese, cheddar cheese, fresh cheese, and cheeses that do not melt like blue cheese but have a dominant flavour can be creamed with fatty dairy products such as cream and kefir to make a cheese spread. Another ides could be using the cheese as burger patty like halloumi.
Cured meat/ cold cuts: Dried meats such as pastrami, and smoked meats are good additions that will increase the flavour of your burger and add crunch. If the meat and cheese you paired are going well together, the pleasure you get will multiply. You should use aged meats with fresh cheeses, and fresh meats with aged cheeses. So, for example, when you use burger cheese with bacon, or aged cheddar with cured meat will keep the flavour balance at optimum.
Pickles and vegetables: Do not hesitate to use side products such as, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles. Especially when you make a hamburger with a thin patty. Be sure to wash and dry greens and to season ingredients such as tomatoes, cucumbers and onions or flavour them with pickle juice.
Refika’s Perfect Burger Recipe (with Thick Patty)
Difficulty: Medium
Servings: 3-4
Cooking time: 6-8-10 minutes (up to your preferences)
Preparation time: 10 minutes
For the patty,
500 g single-ground beef, from ribs, 1.1 lbs
1 tablespoon molasses, grape, mulberry
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon seed mustard
1 tablespoon breadcrumbs
1 egg
A teaspoon salt
A teaspoon black pepper
3 slices cheddar cheese
1 red onion, sliced
6 slices bacon, beef or pork
3 gherkin pickles, sliced
BBQ sauce
Mustard
Burger buns
• Mix the patty ingredients in a bowl, roughly mix.
• Heat the cast iron pan. Sprinkle some water to see if it is heated enough. If it evaporates without bouncing, it’s ready.
• Divide and shape the patties, place them on the heated pan. Always make the patties a little wider than the bread so that they don't end up too small for the bun.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle some salt to red onions and add them to the pan. Cook, turning occasionally.
•Add in the bacons to the pan and crisp.
• Flip the burger patties. Place 2 slices of cheddar cheese on each patty and cover with a lid.
• Halve the buns and toast. Spread the BBQ sauce and mayo.
• Place the patties on bread. Layer caramelized red onions, pickles, bacons. Top with the bun.
• Then, halve the burger and press theburger on the pan ben brown. Thus, the Maillard reaction will occur, and the flavour of the meat will increase even more. The best version of the burger is ready with my small touches! Enjoy!

OMG I am so hungry now!!! My burger tip: Add butter! Put the patty in, let it cook for about 30 seconds, then add a big slice of butter to the pan. When you flip the burger, do the same and add another portion of butter. This will give extra fat to the meat and make an incredibly crusty, juicy, delicious burger! It's very helpful if you can't find or can't afford fuller fat or better quality meat.
Oh my, so many delicious burgers! I should not have watched because it’s almost 10:00pm & now I’m hungry 🤤.
Another great video.
I love your tip about cutting the assembled burger in half and browning the cut ends. I’ll try that next time! One thing I like to do with my burgers sometimes, is gently fold a bit of cubed cheese into each patty before cooking. Makes them extra juicy and you get pops of gooey cheese when you bite into the burger.
Yum!
Thank you for your lovely comment ❤️❤️
As ever your expert and detailed explanation and demonstration superb ! Makes me confident and want to make the recipe always ❤
I’m a purist when it comes to the burger patty and just like good beef, salt and pepper. Any cheese, American, cheddar, Swiss, Blue it’s good by me. It must have pickles though! I can do veges or not. I love in Australia when you get a burger with ‘the works’. This will include pineapple, beetroot, fried egg, BBQ sauce, and more! Burgers are just delicious 🤤
Yes! Grilled pineapple, in particular, can be a life-changing experience!
American cheese is not actually cheese-at least, not legally. The FDA calls it “pasteurized processed American cheese food.” In order for a food product to be a true “cheese,” it has to be more than half cheese, which is technically pressed curds of milk.
@@user-jl8wg2eh3f and?
I watch this at 3 am and now I'm craving for burger 🤤
Thank you Refika and team :). I find when you use good meat and keeping it simple (just meat and a good sprinkle of salt and pepper) it tastes so much better then the burgers with a long list of ingredients. And let your burger rest 10-15 mins after cooking. this will allow the juices to get pulled back into the meat.
Super delicious the looks of that thick burger! Yummy ❤ thank you
Enjoy. 🙏🏻
They all look amazing 😻! I love a burger with sautéed mushrooms and Swiss cheese 🧀. Another favorite would be bacon cheese burger with a fried egg on top . Yummy 😋!
You’re so right!❤
Thank you very much for explaining everything into details. I love your channel ❤❤❤
Thank you.
Refika, this patty recipe looks amazing! I would suggest that you try pretzel buns. Pretzel buns with plenty of mustard
What a perfect sized spatula! I never thought to grill the burger after it was assembled
Tomato, lettuce, pickle, and mayo on a toasted bun. I don't have a burger very often, but when I do, I want the best. So easy and less expensive when you make it at home.
You may think it's crazy, but my favorite burger is thick, medium rare, cheese, and crispy bacon on top, with a good amount of peanut butter spread under the burger. Good spicy jam spread on top bun goes well with it, too! I thought it was weird too, until I tried it!
😍 Nice sharing these Burger tips with us 🙏🏿🙏🏿. I love all about burgers 😋 & the ingredients tips given to put these marvels 😋😋 together is simply great 👍
Thanks so much for all the informations 🙏🏿🥰😄🤗
with the smash burger, it’s important to leave it in a ball for the first few minutes of sautéing. smash after a few minutes to improve caramelization and browning of the meat. i’m from the midwest in the US…. that’s how they do it in the diners that make insanely great burgers. appreciate you all. thank you. 💛
Greetings from Cape Town! We love sweet food so we love adding some Cape Malay peach chutney and olive oil to the minced beef.
I love you too. Thanks for the tips 🥰
For bun flavor boosts, you can use a garlic butter spread before toasting the bun. For having extra smokiness when you cannot grill outside in the cold weather, use smoked melty cheeses for your burger (smoked cheddar, smoked provolone, smoked mozzarella). Add some smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, coriander, and/or chipotle powder to your mayonnaise. A fresh salsa will tast good on the burger (onion, serrano pepper, tomato, cilantro, lime juice), it will bring out more juiciness.
Thank you very much for your valuable comment and ideas 🙏🏻 Can you send your contact and address information to info@refikaninmutfagi.com to send a gift? Congratulations! ❤
How timely! I will be grilling burgers with my son, his significant other, and my granddaughter this evening. Thanks for some additional ideas. Yum, yum, yum!
Yummmmm, thanks for all your tips
Great video on all about burgers 101, and then some. Of course I watched to the end, your videos are always nicely detailed and fun. NOTE: I love a good brioche, but for a hamburger not so much, it disintegrates when wet ingredients like tomato or pickles are added, even toasted. Refika, as always Thank you!💕👍
Hi Refika, I have 2 tips that I love. First, Saute slivered Onions in a pan with melted butter. Add salt & pepper and cook, stirring occasionally until caramelized. Second is my sauce. 1/4 cup Mayo, half as much ketchup. 1 TBS mustard and a squirt of siracha. Diced dill pickle with a little pickle juice. Mix. Yum.
Delicious, Refika! We always put a little Worcestershire on the burgers about 15 minutes before they go on the grill. I love this lovely French Dijon mustard with tarragon in it or some tomato chutney on my burger, mushrooms sauteed in butter and fresh herbs is another of my favorite toppings, and there must be pickles!
I love your burger theory section. So few people describe the REASONS for their decisions on burger size and additives.. Very nice. :)
I'm Australian - so we like beetroot on our burgers, instead of gerkins/pickles.
I'm so glad you liked my video. It would be great as you suggested. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Wow! Just Amazing! This is flat-out the best presentation on how to cook burgers I've ever seen. Guess what we're going to have for dinner tonight???!!! (From Asheville, NC, USA)
I'm so glad you liked it. 🙏🏻
We love to put Montreal Steak Spice on our burgers, especially when we cook them on the bbq.
Have you ever considered burger with crushed pineapple, caramelized onion❤
OMG! Amazing
Fabulous burger recipes, Refika. The burgers look amazing after they are assembled, too.
Thank you, Refika & the team. Delicious, as always! Love from Germany❤
Tip I learned in culinary school: Make the center slightly thinner than the edges (bi-concave disc). As the burger cooks it shrinks inward and will pull meat toward the center causing it to be flat instead of round in the center. This makes it cook more evenly and also helps keep the toppings from rolling off.
Perfect ♥️🧿👏 I eat once in a while home-made.
Molases make everything delicious
Red onions, too.
Great tips. Certainly going to try some of them. Thanks.
I thought that I knew how to make a great hamburger. I now know that I was mistaken 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣. I can’t wait to try these new recipes. They look absolutely delicious ❤❤❤
Please share with me the result 😃 hope you’ll love them ☺️
This is an amazing video!
Thank you for sharing.
Onions are a must on a burger, red, yellow, or white and thinly sliced. Grilled or fresh onion, I prefer both!
Also, I like what is known in America as a bread-and-butter pickle. It is halfway between a sour pickle and a sweet pickle. It is also pickled with onion, mustard seeds, and celery seeds. They have an outstanding flavor!
You are so right about that ❤️
I watch all your videos, even though I’m vegetarian. Always some useful tips to apply to all my other recipes. Hello to the entire team!
Helloo ❤️❤️ thank you so much☺️☺️
Linda here…you’re videos are always delightful to watch and a highlight of my day. This one is mouth-watering YUM!
Thanks so much ❤️❤️
Yum!
I’m not crazy about burgers, however I will try your tips!! Looks great!!!👍
What a great video! The only thing you didn’t mention is something I love to add to Burgers and thats Hot New Mexico Roasted Green Chile 🔥😄
I love onions on my burgers, so my burger tip is to make a quick onion pickle by slicing some onions, adding salt, rubbing them to make it easier for the onion juice to come out, and cover it with lime juice. The lime juice and onion juice combine and make a great pickling acid. You can also add habaneros for an extra floral scent. I like to add garlic and black pepper to the pickle as well. It pickles great for same-day use, but it's even better the day after!
edit: Omg ILY too 😭 this is my favorite cooking show!
This was your. Most mouthwatering video to date ! I just ate a big meal but now I'm craving burgers... Well done!
Thank you so much❤️❤️😊
Thank you, great video again, with a lot of information
I like to make cheese stuffed burgers. I make small pucks of cheese (a little butter helps shredded cheese stick together) and freeze them before forming the meat around the cheese. This keeps the cheese from leaking out while cooking.
Thanks for another great video. ❤
Harikasın:)Teşekkürler bizmle paylaştıkların için❤
This American approves 😎💪🏻🇺🇸
BBQ sauce with bacon is very popular in the USA. Also, onions are very popular too (all of Refika's options are great). Lastly, I personally love my burgers with spicy pickled jalapeño peppers and tomato ketchup and yellow mustard. 🤤🍔
Thank you Refika❤
I'm Albanian and live in US.
Love the way you cook and the way you speak 😊
Oh my gosh … I’m melting…this is mouthwatering ❤️❤️❤️
Enjoy. 🙏🏻
Your patties look delicious making my mouth water..your videos are always great and give new ideas. Thank you be safe and many blessings. 🐞🦬🐢🥰
Thank you so much ❤️
It looks great! I make your kofta recipe often. Thank you
I'm very pleased. Enjoy your meal. ❤️
Thank you for your Worcestershire Sauce hack. I don't like the ingredients in Worcestershire Sauce, but I love the flavor. You have given me the answer to my problem!
I want that spatula! Is beautifull and I think will look amazing on my kitchen!
I'm vegetarian but I have to cook for my husband and my 4 sons at are all meat eaters. Having frozen patties in the freezer is so convenient, I will make your recipe for them next weekend.
No no I won't believe it till I taste it from you.. In Trabzon ❤😅
I just started watching your channel. I can’t wait to try some of your recipes!
I love to make pizza burgers. After the burger patty is done. I to it with tomato sauce. A little bit of pepperoni. Some veggies that I like on pizza and some delicious mozzarella cheese.
Yummy episode!
If you like iceberg on the burger, put on a thin slice of a small iceberg or half of a big one, it is way less messy to eat. ❤
Refika!!! (and lovely team) These are all great tips for burgers... and that's high praise coming from someone in the US! One tip we'd suggest for the big burgers, which we have found to be useful, is not to press on the meat once it is on the heat. It can be very tempting to do so but we believe that it squeezes out the delicious juices. So, that's what we would recommend. We hope all are well on your side of the globe. Be well and stay safe!!
Thank you so muchh ❤️❤️
I always say how lovely the recipes are and of course our wonderful Chef Refika, but must credit the beautiful photography which brings another level of deliciousness to your charming videos. We do LOVE them - my husband is making some as I type. Happy Easter '24!
Oh my goodness! Yum ❤
That gourmet burger looks amazing!
As always great recipe Refika! Try this one: homemade pita bread, fresh fish patty (chop the fish, add salt white pepper lime zest, chopped green onion and parsley, beaten egg and panko). Cook the patties in a little butter (and/or oil) over medium heat. Garnish with avocado slices, onion rings or tempura, lettuce or any green you prefer. Sometimes I make taboulé parsley salad but without bulgur and use it as a garnish. As for the sauce, I use homemade tartar sauce, or tahini sauce, or the yogurt sauce that is normaly use for shish taouk. Even a garlic seasonned homemade mayonnaise is good with that … try it… you will like it😊 11:34
Assalam o Alaikum
Your recipes are very delicious and mouth watering. I like your cooking style and you're channel ❤
Aleyküm selam🙏🏻 thank you so much
Thank you
Wow! I love this. 😻🍔
Oh my goodness what an amazing video and it’s hard to add anything to make the burgers any better I’ve seen on comet about stuffing the patties with cheese so that tip is out my other comment would be to put the cheese on the patty add a splash of water in the pan and then put on the lid the steam help to melt the cheese
Very nice gourmet burger, with this product I won the Chef la cutite culinary competition from Romania.
Well, I want the spatula. 😀Sooo let me think. In Macedonia we have a meat patty with cheese inside the patty , it’s called sharska pleskavica (шарска плескавица). It is very tasty. Something else: A interesting fact about our burgers is that in the bread roll we put the patty, some condiments like ketchup and mayo, fresh cucumbers and cabbage, if a person is a fan, hot pepper flakes. Inside the bread roll we put the potato chips (fries) as well. The burger is not complete without the chips.
Shack burgers are the worst, love this video all informations are great. Big thanks to you and your team
Oh how I love burgers
Yummy 😋 yummy
🤩🤩🤤🤤❤️
Yum…. Can you show a video of how you make the burger buns in the air fryer please… thanks
Love your channel. Will comment later about the meat pizza and wonderful super sharp curved blade knife.
Hmmmm I do love a good burger. You got my mouth watering.
I prefer a ciabatta bun as it stands up better to all those juicy fillings. I always order a burger with chutney and jalapeño peppers the hot and sweet is so tasty. It also has bacon for that Smokey flavor as well.
Our normal grocery stores in the US don’t have great meat selection all the time. I do agree with the person who mentioned using a little butter to get it nice and juicy if your meat is not as fatty as you would like.
As always well done team Rafika.
Refika, thank you for your absolutely fantastic videos! I want to host a Turkish breakfast at home and I'm looking into getting those copper frying pans, those used for menemen suckle yumurta, etc. What size is best for individual use? I found some online and the smallest is 16 cm and the largest 28cm (which is clearly too large for one person). They are quite pricey and I'd want to make a good choice, so thought you'd be the perfect one to ask for advice! Thank you!
Now i want a 🍔 and its 6am here 😂😂😂😂
😂
In my patties I add onions, garlic and ginger paste or powder, salt, pepper, cumin and green chilli… do try u wld love it and spatula will be mine …😂
🍔🤤🤤🤤
I would love more vegan recipes loved your Eatballs ❤️❤️
Hi Rafika last I found your CZcams Channel and your foods are amazing also I subscribed your Channel from last night I keep watching your videos thank you so much for the great videos❤
Thank you sooo much 😊
In the US, the Fast Food Chain is for people with less income because if you desire to have slow food there, the prices are often skyrocketed. Fresh fruits and vegetables are more expensive than gold and are inaccessible.
I had to watch this clip in parts due to my mouth drooling ❤❤❤❤
You can try it right away. Bon appétit. 😊
I'd wanna go to your restaurant ❤
Burgerlicious ❤
This spatula is hard to find in stores. Would love one💕. In West Hartford CT🙂
I loved you saying 😅 with economic crises the meat is becoming smaller n smaller 😝🤗🤗🤗♥️✌️🕊️🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃😎👍
Growing up we hardly ever went to the big burger retailers unless we where in the city, normally in our home town it was the family run takeaway if we did. I would guess 90% of the time we would have homemade Frikadelle as my mother was german [dad was welsh] and the recipe is very similar to the one you showed and was normally just beef.
One variation Oma taught mum was to add chopped up leftover meat to the raw minced beef, these are very different in texture and abit in flavour. depending on the added protein beef/pork/chicken/lamb/rabbit. I stll make all variations for my family to this day and have taught my kids all that my Oma taught me such as adding abit of pickle brine to the meat blend and using a panade made with light rye bread. A great way to pass on memories and family history least the be forgotten.
I would point out that if you add an acid to the raw mince you need to use it all or it will denature the protiens making the meat crumbley with a mealy moth feel which is rather unpleasent.
Merhaba! Chawk guzel!
Great video but now I really want a burger!
I really didn't like fast food your food is easy and healthy 😮
amazing 😋😘🤪
🤩🤩😋
OMG❣️❣️❣️😍
Homemade burgers are the best. Single ground, double ground? I have been lost in the US for too long 😅
I like tzatziki on my burgers.
