Oh why is the time going so fast! Halloween and Thanksgiving just gone by and now Christmas time is fast approaching as well.
Anyhow, how was your Thanksgiving celebration? We used to have a family tradition for it but ever since my father-in-law passed away, we just kind of do our own things. We make non-traditional food to share with our kids at home every year. In the previous years, we tried to make the traditional food for Thanksgiving but since it is only the four of us, the leftover is overwhelming so this year, I only made what we can eat. I made a briskit pot roast and we ate it with rice. My husband and daughter baked a pineapple upside down cake for dessert.
I was born and raised in Asia so our meals always consist of Asian food but I make sure to incorporate my husband's favorite American food as well. His favorites include spaghetti, lasagna, shepherd's pie, pulled pork sandwich and burgers.
Since he loves burger, I thought that having this burger press patty maker from Cavetools would be awesome. I can make it at home for a lot less and I can make the way his palate likes. For this recipe, I only used a pound of ground beef, 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, black pepper and salt, and chopped onions.
I did not make it thick so the cooking process won't be long. My husband like his burger fully cooked so making it thinner is the easier and faster way to cook it. A palm-sized burger meatball is perfect to press in the patty maker.
I like the design of this aluminum burger presser. The palm shaped handle helps reduce fatigue when you are pressing multiple burgers. The set includes a bonus of 200 square burger papers which makes removing and separating the burgers easier. It is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
I love that it has the grill line design so even if you are using a flat skillet, the burger still looks like BBQed on a grill.
The square burger papers makes it easier to stack the burgers for freezing. You can get this burger press patty maker directly from Cavetools thru the link I have provided in this post or you can get it via amazon and enjoy a 15% Off the price by using this discount promo code, BURGER15.
Glad my husband liked the homemade burgers and fries. I am not much of a burger fan but making it at home and loading it with spicy peppers makes a big difference for me.

We have homemade burgers and fries a lot in our house. It's one of the kids favorite meals.
I like using a hamburger press as well. Makes them all equal in size and easier to cook. These look delicious
It does seem like Thanksgiving flew by this year. Looks like you had a great meal. That burger press sure would come in handy when making burgers!
It is so nice you make your husband his typical food and it does look so good. I have not made burgers lately but I love the vegetarian version.
That sounds delightful! I have never used him because that's before but I am betting that is something my husband would love because he is the one typically making the hamburgers.
I agree the years seem to be going faster and faster, where does the time go to. We do not have Thanksgiving, but yes generally we celebrate Christmas. This year though I think it will pass us by. We will be in the UK caring for my FIL who has Alzheimers, he is almost 98 and although fit in body, I am afraid the head is not very good and he does not always remember our names any more. We will be there for 6 weeks and then my husband's sister will return to care for him, she has been there all year. Life is not easy and he refuses to go into a home.
Take care and I hope you have a good Christmas. Diane
Burgers are a fave in our house ANY day. My husband makes the best burgers. I like to use the Foreman Grill but he uses a cast iron skillet and cooks them just right.
All the food you make is so mouthwatering brisket is one of my favorite. It been a while since I ate burger I love the idea of making my own patties.
Those burgers look so good! I've never used a burger press before, but I think it would make burger cooking so much easier.
What a great meal. We make a lot of burgers, so I need to get this press. It's such an easy and tasty meal to make.
Your burger and fries look so delicious. This is actually a great make at home meal eve though we all associate it with fast food.
Burger pressers are a great way to make your perfect burgers at home. I have one and love it.
We make burgers weekly. We like to have a variety of kinds and toppings. We eat sweet potato fries, those are delicious, too.
Oh man...that Pineapple Upsidedown Cake looks delicious!! I need to make one soon!
Those are great meals to have at home. These are my favorite to eat as always with my husband while watching movies.
I love making homemade burgers for my family. I have to look into getting this for my home.
We usually associate Burgers with McDonalds. Now making them at home seems really exciting. We love our burgers and french fries though of the vegetarian kind.
Always love a delicious homemade meal! I'm a huge fan of veggie burgers, there are so many different ways to make them!
Yum! I love a good homemade burger with some fries nothing beats having it at home imo. This looks fantastic! - Jeanine
