>shitty publix meat
Meat is meat, there are 6 slaugher house companies in the entire USA, regular ground beef at whole foods is the same motherfucking meat that you buy at publix,
>litteraly tastes like cheap and tacky shit because we're poor as shit
what an ungrateful little bastard you are, if you're so god damn better at cooking why don't you make them yourself OP or learn to cook and show momma her son isn't a total fuck up and can actually make a meal for his mother.
Very simply, take your meat into balls and weigh them, make sure they got all near the same weight, aim for a two or three ounce patty.
Make sure that pan is fucking hot enough to sear but not so hot that it will burn, keep a control on the god damn temperature
Use a grease of some kind, any kind, lard is better, canola is worse. But something is better than nothing, the grease from the meat will only carry you so far on a clean pan.
Have all your shit cut and prepared in advance, this will help you more than anything, your focus should be on keeping your meat from burning or being raw in the middle.
Get your meat out of the fridge before cooking, bring it close to room temperature, don't wait till the last fucking minute to get the meat out of the freezer, don't "thaw" your meat in the fucking microwave, pull that shit out of the freezer a day or two before, put it in the fridge, get it out of the fridge hours before hand.
Toast your buns, dont destroy them, you can make bad buns taste great if you toast them, use gentle heat on a teflon frying pan if your toaster is to small, microwave doesn't count as toasting.
Salt the meat, now salt it again because I know you didn't put enough, don't pepper it until you're ready to pull it out.
Don't add your cheese on the meat on the fucking pan like the average american animal, put your patty on your bun build and then add the motherfucking cheese.
