Notes
Don't use super lean ground beef. We like using 85/15.This recipe scales easily. You can make several pounds of burger on the stove ahead of a party and put the meat in a crock pot to keep it hot. It's a great way to feed the team or a hungry crew.Leftover meat can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. You can also make the meat ahead of time to reheat later, but the recipe is so quick to make it usually isn't necessary.We think this copycat recipe tastes pretty close to the real deal. But, there are a few ways you can make it your own. Try using Worcestershire sauce instead of soy sauce, beef broth instead of water, or brown sugar in place of the granulated sugar. You can even add a little garlic powder if you would like.
