How Do You Get Burgers To Stick Together?
To get burgers to stick together, use ground beef that has a higher percentage of fat as fat helps bind the meat. Handle the meat as little as possible and avoid overworking it. Form the burgers slightly wider than the bun and create a small indentation in the center to prevent them from puffing up while cooking. Chill the burgers in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before cooking to help them hold their shape. Finally, make sure your grill or pan is hot before placing the burgers on and resist the urge to flip them too soon, as this can cause them to fall apart.
