Method

1. Slow-Cook the Beef Cheeks

In a large pot, combine beef cheeks, water, Blenders Beef Bouillon, onion, garlic, carrot, celery, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.
Remove beef cheeks, let them cool slightly, then shred the meat, discarding any excess fat.

2. Prepare the Burger Patties

In a bowl, mix shredded beef cheek meat with chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, and pepper.
Form the mixture into 4 patties.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until heated through and slightly crispy on the outside.
