Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make German Frikadellen (Hamburgers).
Step 1
Start by soaking a kaiser roll in water for about 10 minutes, allowing it to absorb the moisture and soften.
Step 2
Once it’s ready, drain the roll and gently squeeze out any excess water before crumbling it into a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Next, add in the ground beef, ground pork, finely chopped onion, fresh parsley, egg, paprika (if you’re feeling adventurous), salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Take a moment to mix everything together until it’s well combined; this is where the magic happens as all those flavors meld together.
Step 5
Now, shape the mixture into large, flattened meatballs or patties, making sure they’re uniform for even cooking.
Step 6
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, and once it’s nice and hot, carefully add the meatballs to the skillet.
Step 7
Cook them for about 5 minutes on each side, watching as they turn a beautiful golden brown.
Step 8
To ensure they’re perfectly cooked, check that the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F (70°C) with an instant-read thermometer.
Step 9
Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you prepare these delicious meatballs!.
