Рецепт Cheeseburger Casserole

A lot of folks have claimed they were the first to cook a hamburger. Who wouldn’t want

to be responsible for inventing such a beloved American treat? Sadly, we don’t

know who the true burger originator is.

Common

misconception is that the first hamburger was created in Hamburg, Germany. The

inspiration for the hamburger came from Hamburg, Germany, the sandwich concept was invented

much later. During the 19th century, Hamburg became famous for their beef, from

cows raised in the regional countryside. Hamburg beef was commonly

chopped, seasoned and molded into patties. Refrigeration was not yet available,

hefty price tag outside of its native land, and was often substituted with less

expensive varieties of beef.

When

groups of German immigrants began arriving in America during the 19th century,

many earned their living by opening restaurants in large cities like Chicago

and New York. It wasn’t long before many of their menus featured an Americanized

version of the Hamburg steak, beef that was minced or chopped and combined with

garlic, onions, salt and pepper, then grilled or fried. In 1837, New York’s

Delmonico’s restaurant offered a Hamburg steak on its first menu. At 10 cents

it was the most expensive item, twice the cost of pork chops, veal cutlets and

roast beef. A German restaurant at Philadelphia’s Centennial Exposition in 1876

served Hamburg steaks to thousands of customers. Afterwards the dish was in

high demand, and could be found in non-German restaurants.

In

1921, Billy Ingram and Walter Anderson opened the first fast food hamburger

establishment, White Castle, in Wichita, Kansas. Their main offering was a

small 5 cent hamburger, which they encouraged customers to purchase “by the

sack.” At that time, in part because of Upton Sinclair’s novel The Jungle, many Americans were

concerned with the sanitary practices of the meat industry. White Castle

addressed the fears of their customers by furnishing their clean, white decorated

restaurants with stainless steel counter tops that could be easily wiped down.

Their hamburger meat was ground in plain sight, ensuring patrons that they were

paying for a quality meal. Around the same time hamburgers became a popular

menu item at roadside diners and soda shops, where they were often served

alongside french fries and milkshakes.

Today

hamburgers can be found all over the world.

calories. I think you will like the easy ground beef recipe.
