Let's cook.

01

Cook and Season Patties

Start by lightly oiling a large skillet and heating it over low heat. In a big bowl, combine the ground beef with egg whites, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled goat cheese, sea salt, steak seasoning, and parsley. Mix everything together well, then shape the mixture into five evenly sized patties. Place the patties in the skillet and let them cook gently for about 5 minutes. Flip them over and cook for another 5 minutes. Now, turn the heat up to medium or medium-high, cover the pan, and keep cooking the burgers, flipping them every now and then, until they’re cooked through and still juicy—this should take another 5 to 10 minutes. To be sure, check that the internal temperature hits 160°F. Right before serving, add a splash of liquid hickory smoke seasoning on top for an extra burst of flavor.

Cook's tip

- Use medium-high heat to get a good sear without overcooking.
- Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking; it squeezes out the juices.
- Let the burgers rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep them moist.

Why you’ll love it

Serving ideas

Serve these patties on toasted buns with fresh lettuce, tomato, and your favorite condiments. Add a side of crispy fries or a simple salad to complete the meal. Pickles and melted cheese also pair well for extra flavor.

Storage & leftovers

Store any leftover patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to avoid drying them out. For longer storage, freeze the cooked patties and thaw before reheating.
