Make Beef Patties Inside Ziploc Bag


Bronze Post Medal for All Time! 131 Posts

A beef patty made inside a ziploc bag.One of my absolute favorite meals is hamburgers. I always mix in at least 1-2 seasonings, the most flavorful for me being ranch and onion powders. I dread the mixing and shaping part though because bits of the ground beef sticks to my hands, as I roll and flatten. I have to continuously wash my hands off between patties.

I racked my brain and tried different ways to pat out the beef. Then I thought if ziploc baggies don't stick to ground beef when you freeze them, maybe they'll work to pat out patties.

I'm happy to say the baggies worked perfectly! I still added my seasonings in a bowl and rolled the hamburger around in it. Then I formed a semi ball and placed it in the baggy. I slowly pressed down to form a near perfect patty! I made four of these and not once did any stick!

Make a bunch at once and freeze the remaining for later still in the ziplock bag.

I take a pound of ground beef and before I remove it from its covering, I take a spoon handle, back of knife of something of the sort and mark and indention at half way across and then half way in length, I take the wrapper off and discard. I then take each 1/4 and roll into a ball and sprinkle my seasonings on it and put into a plastic bag but not all the way down and put bag in hamburger press and flatten out, close the freezer bag and place in freezer one patty per bag.

After they freeze, I put several in gallon bags and can tell at a glance how many I have left and don't loose in the freezer.

I hear you about the hands business! I have a half cup scoop, the kind that looks like an ice cream scoop. Once I have my beef mixture, I scoop it out and level it with the dull side of a knife, then it goes into my little ziplock like you do. Then I just smash it gently into a pattie and it goes i to a big baggie with its friends. I hate getting my hands all gummy. I use food safe disposable gloves for lots of things, especially prepping a Thanksgiving turkey! You might enjoy those!

Used that method since the early 70s. I spread Saran wrap on the counter, drop the meat on it. Then I sprinkle/spread Hungarian Paprika, Ranch, Garlic and Onion salt. Next I fold the wrap over, pat it down, well actually I slap it a bit, then I use my marble rolling pin to flatten it nicely.

Then I use a mug with Saran wrap in it like it was a cookie cutter, and cut out the hamburger rounds. For hiking I put the rounds into ziplock baggies, but for just hauling them out to the BBQ I just line them up on the White Nylon cutting board.
