Morton's Million Dollar Burger - recipe from Morton's Steakhouse - it really is the best burger recipe around! Everyone raves about them!! No joke! Made these for a tailgate and now this is the only burger we make!! Ground beef, egg, tomato juice, salt, and pepper. YUM!
In a mixing bowl, combine the hamburger, eggs, tomato juice, salt and pepper. Use your hands or a wooden spoon to mix thoroughly.
Divide the meat into three equal portions and gently form them into patties.
Grill or broil to desired doneness.
Notes:
The burgers can be cooked outside on the grill or inside in a grill pan or cast iron skillet. If you are cooking them inside, feel free to add a dash of liquid smoke to the hamburger mixture. That will give them the flavor of being cooked outside on the grill without actually cooking them on the grill.
You can make the burgers ahead of time and refrigerate the patties overnight or freeze them for later.
For a low-carb/keto-friendly burger, use unsweetened tomato juice.
Are Morton's Million Dollar Burgers gluten-free? Yes! All of the ingredients in the hamburgers are gluten-free.
I use a kitchen scale and a burger press with burger papers to make the patties. I buy everything on Amazon. Here are the products that we use (affiliate links):
