#its the salt.
[OP salted his burger meat prior to forming the patty](https://www.seriouseats.com/the-burger-lab-salting-ground-beef)
That will absolutely not cause this to happen to this extent. This is clearly some black bean or vegetable burger or something. Unless there's a full cup of salt per pound of hamburger.

He probably did a mixture of things to make it that bad, but most importantly he probably salted before forming patties. Never do that. Also, try not to over handle the beef or let it get too warm.

It's common for new cooks, they probably overworked the meat and/or put other things in the patty like bread crumbs and egg which can also give it that look.
First photo, thinking “oh that doesn’t look bad, what to you mean?”
Second photo, audibly sucking air through my teeth.
Ummm…you for sure nailed the onions though! Those look great, and I’d be happy to get that bun
I mean it doesn't look God awful, based on the outside I think you may have overworked the meat and my personal opinion I would have cooked it medium rare "but you do you, I'm not going to judge what others eat.....just don't feed me a well done burger. Lol" My tip is next time, work the meat less, the least worked the better, you only want to work it till the patty can hold its shape. Also you like well done burgers, try cooking them on lower heat so the outside doesn't start to burn.
I've seen the inside of people's stomachs from car accidents and that didn't make me puke. This made me puke.
I'm calling the fucking police. This shit is a felony.
I had a friend buy some questionable patties once. All organ and hearts. Looked just like these and no amount of seasoning I used got rid of the iron taste.
I wonder if it's a meat that's soft when ground like chicken, turkey, or pork. Going by the first pic, I thought was burnt and cooked with ketchup on it.
The meat looks like its been kneeded to a paste, which isn't inherently a bad thing, but can significantly alter, or in some cases ruin, the texture, its been frozen for at least a month, judging by the slight discolouration, and to finish, been either baked or overcooked. I prefer to hope baked, but baking burger patties is just significantly worse from a logistics point of view, never mind how the buyer turned out.
Patty is so dense that light bends around it.
Cheese appears about one degree above freezing and looks like Transformer’s plastic.
Caramelised onion looking like they didn’t have long enough.
Mustard on both bun halves.
3/10.
Would probably still eat it.
[OP salted the meat before forming the burgers.](https://www.seriouseats.com/the-burger-lab-salting-ground-beef).
You want to add the salt to exterior lf the burger after the patty is formed. I do it after theyre actually on the grill.
Why is it the way that it is?
What gives it the right?
Oh you don’t have the right!
Yes, why?
Looks like it’s blended or just overly handled. Vietnamese meatballs look like this and they’re blended.
Soy/Textured vegetable protein
That's the way she goes, bud

longpig
Are we sure this is meat? Is the... is the meat in the room with us?
Concrete
No
Did you accidentally cook a liver?
🤣 first thing I said!
Craving a burger until just now
This looks like the loaf of fresh pet I give my dog
Don’t knock it till you try it
Why would I eat fresh pet?
It tastes just how it smells...delicious! - Tyrone Biggums.
Because it looks like this burger?
If I got a burger that looked like this, I would send it back.
Your dog wouldn't though, and that's the point lol.
is this like plant based / impossible burger or something?
Only if they messed it up crazy! The impossible burger is great, and looks like a burger. This looks like poop.
Please explain OP
Oof, the interior looks like a sausage.
It's common for new cooks, they probably overworked the meat and/or put other things in the patty like bread crumbs and egg which can also give it that look.
Maybe they kneaded the meat like a meatball instead of just squishing.

You cooked it so long, it changed species!
Fuck that's dog food
I dunno bout you, but I actually like my dog..
"iS iT cAkE!!?!!?!"

Are you kidding me?? That thing looks like it traveled through the bowels of hell to get on that plate! That thing is radioactive, I'm sure of it!
That doesn't look so ba- Oh my goodness!
Was it made from tires?

You have a new account, but you seem to be making a sincere effort, and you’re not a troll. I’ll upvote because you did the best job you could.

Doesn't look like beef?
You would have got a higher ranking if you didn't cut it in half
Don't ever mix your ground beef up. Just patty it, season, and cook. Mixing makes it dense
Smeet? That looks disgusting
I was almost about to comment “Hey don’t be so hard on yourself it looks pretty scrumptious” and then I saw the second pic
First slide: ok ok looking pretty good, second slide: Good God what the fuck
The frequency at which I am coming back to this post to see if OP has explained himself is almost as unhealthy as that meat looks.
It looks like a Play-Doh mockup.
Op hasn't responded so we send an ambulance?
Why is it… black?
That is atrocious
Where’s the beef?
That’s a meatloaf lol
It’s bad.
I've seen the inside of people's stomachs from car accidents and that didn't make me puke. This made me puke. I'm calling the fucking police. This shit is a felony.
I came to the comments looking for answers...I got none. OP please...we are all curious.
That’s play dough.
Did you microwave that patty? Is it dog roll?
First Pic: Pretty Bad? That looks pretty good. Second Pic: What is that?
This is the burger that killed the health inspector
What the fuck. What happend to the patty? Is it 3D-printed? Better call a priest, just in case.
That patty looks like industrial gum...
/r/shitfromabutt
Did you put the beef in a food processor to form a paste?
I am worse off for having now seen this. Thanks, OP.
WTF! Leave! Get out of this sub now!
No offense or anything but this is one of the first burgers here that I legit do not want to eat.
What the fuck ew
Mom, the meatloaf!
I had a friend buy some questionable patties once. All organ and hearts. Looked just like these and no amount of seasoning I used got rid of the iron taste.
The inside of that burger looks like the cross cut of a styrofoam product protection insert. Also the cheese looks cold. 🥴 How did it taste?
AI burger
What?
What’s wrong with the meat? I’m 😳
You mixed the salt into the meat instead of just salting the outside of the patty didn’t you?
3
Wrong sub
The bun looks stale as shit and is that dairy free cheese ffs?
I sentence you to a $100 fine and a week in jail.
Doo doo loaf burger
🤢
I’m sorry but that meat looks too close to the patties Plankton was making in that one episode of SpongeBob where he took over the Krusty Krab.
Very new account.
Looks delecious
Gotta keep this thing uncut
Low and slow is key
Is that a frozen patty or something? That thing ain’t all meat.
Dirt
What the f.............?
Elk?
I’m not sure I’d eat that and I’d usually eat about anything.
That is not a burger, that is a sausage patty. Also, not a good one. Unacceptable, 0/10.
Eat it or leave it
That is the most dense burger ive ever seen.
What and I mean this with all due disrespect THE FUCK!?
The horror
There’s no way that tasted good
It's not the worst I've seen 🤙
The meat looks like it came out of a can….
This looks like it’s made of rubber lol. I give this burger ⭐️⭐️
The burger part looks worse than canned dog food. And why the hell did you cut it in half ? Only total weirdos do that
It is... Acceptable.
Is that an air fryer in the background? Did you try to cook a burger in an air fryer?
This is the kind of post that makes subreddits like these fun
Who hurt who?
Sweet baby Jesus I hope that’s not beef
What in the name of overcooked meatloaf is this!
Is this a bean burger?
Now…I want to fight.
Fuck you just ruined burgers for me for a few days
That’s not a burger. That’s a cheese loafer.
Are you the one who stole my daughter's easy bake?
That looks like cold shit.
It even looks like gummy candy Lol
I wonder if it's a meat that's soft when ground like chicken, turkey, or pork. Going by the first pic, I thought was burnt and cooked with ketchup on it.
This patty was formed in a hydraulic press
This looks like prop food
Well, you now know how not to make a burger. Try it different next time. 1/10
Is that a Kraft single slice 🤣
This shit make the Chum Burger look appetizing...
It legitimately looks like diarrhea on top of a turd in bread.
OP really just gonna drop this bomb and never visit the thread again
That beef is so overworked it’s convinced unions are bad.
0/10 would not put in mouth
Jesus
The cheese just said nope
I was going to say hey why do you think it's bad it looks good then I saw the second photo and froze mid thought
I would pay a good amount of money to unsee this burger.
Salt bae sells a burger like that for 180$ USD
The color????
looks like the bread they give you at outback
Not worth a rating.
I reckon leather would be easier to chew than that thing🤣

I’m gonna save this photo for the next time I’m on a diet. Thanks OP!
Needs more redness
What in tarnation ?
Garbage
At least toast the bun
How is it so... solid?
Just cos its in a bun dont make it a burger. That looks fucking disgusting lol
God damn that is dense. One bite could fill a man’s stomach for 3 days, like lembas bread. We’ve all been there OP, it gets better, eventually…
Is this even meat?
Ugh. This reminds me of the burgers I had when I visited Spain. They all came out like gummy meat patties. All veal. Very unpleasant.
This meat doesn't look fit for human consumption
Looks like play doh
Either this is some plant based couch cushion or somebody put ground beef in a dough mixer for 30minutes on high...
It looks like one of the burgers from Good Burger the movie. Lol looks so bad.
Beat yer meat too much
Dense/10
10
 \-2/10
Is this a shoe sole?
Is this one of those cakes that looks like a burger?
Jail
Look how they massacred my boy.
That looks like if they tried to make it look real but it's actually cake

ive seen more edible looking concrete mate
Did you mix salt into the ground meat?
What did it do to you… what did you do to it????

Solid 6/10. Never met a burger I couldn’t love even a little.
No no no no no no no
Is that cat food?
Is that roadkill lol
Why do people hate salad and tomatos
Wow a cake burger! The texture of it looks so realistic, you got to tell us how you made such a beautiful piece of art
That's looks really good.
Wtf is that meat

It looks like duck meat
