How Long Do You Fry Hamburger Meat?
The amount of time it takes to fry hamburger meat depends on the thickness of the patty and the desired level of doneness. Generally, a 1/3 inch thick patty will take approximately 3-4 minutes per side to cook to medium (internal temperature of 160°F). Larger or thicker patties will require more time. It is important to use a meat thermometer to ensure that the patty is cooked to a safe temperature.
