Savory Skillet Burgers

A last-minute quick meal turned into a family favorite. Best homemade skillet burgers I have ever had and they are surprisingly not too bad for you! Making them into sliders on lightly toasted sourdough is an amazing gourmet treat for guests! My boyfriend got out the ketchup, and after one bite of these burgers he put the ketchup away. These burgers are perfect as-is--you don't even need buns!

Ingredients

• 1 ¼ pounds lean ground beef
• 1 teaspoon steak seasoning
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
• 1 tablespoon oil, or as needed
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• ½ cup egg whites
• ⅓ cup chopped and drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
• 3 ounces crumbled goat cheese, or more to taste
• 2 tablespoons liquid hickory smoke seasoning (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Lightly oil a large skillet and put over low heat.

Step 2

Mix ground beef, egg whites, sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese, sea salt, steak seasoning, and parsley in a large bowl. Shape into 5 hamburger patties.

Step 3

Put patties in the skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Flip and cook another 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium or medium-high, cover, and continue to cook, flipping occasionally, until burgers are cooked through and juicy, 5 to 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Top with liquid hickory smoke seasoning.
