    These hamburger scrambled eggs are a kid-created recipe that combine a breakfast staple with an American classic. Sizzling beef adds protein and texture to the fluffy scrambled eggs, while a dash of HP sauce or ketchup provides the classic burger flavor.

    If you love breakfast food but want something a little heartier, hamburger scrambled eggs are loaded with ground beef. Pick up fresh meat from the store, or use the leftover beef sitting in your fridge.

    This recipe takes only ten minutes to prepare so that you can throw together a protein-packed brunch. Plus, it is so simple that beginner cooks can whip it up in the kitchen!

    This is my son's favorite way to cook eggs but he also loves my easy pickled eggs and poached eggs with mock Béarnaise. He makes the ground beef scrambled eggs while his sister blends up the homemade Orange Julius for a tasty breakfast. He was 7 years old when he came up with this recipe. Enjoy!

    ❓ Recipe FAQs

    Do you put milk in scrambled eggs?

    Adding milk to scrambled eggs will result in a more creamy dish but it is optional.

    How much milk for 2 scrambled eggs?

    I add about two teaspoons of milk for each large egg. Any more than that and the dish turns out too thin and liquidy.

    Can you mix eggs and ground beef?

    Certainly you can. Cooking eggs and ground beef together is called ground beef scrambled eggs and it is delicious and quick to make.

        Oh, it's a British brown sauce that you can find in the international aisle of the grocery store. A sauce with similar flavor is Worcestershire sauce (although the consistency is a lot thinner) and you can also try A1 sauce. Thanks for the question, Shannon.
