OUR STORY

Since 1958

The Best Tasting, Best Cooking, and Best Looking Beef Patties in America

Our Start

Over 65 years ago, Reggie Jensen founded his company with passion and grit for selling high-quality steaks to restaurants in San Diego. Today, we’ve perfected our craft, and committed ourselves to making the best tasting, best cooking, and best-looking beef patties in America.

Better Quality For You

Unlike other companies that use scraps, additives, and fillers, Jensen patties are all-natural, with no more than a few of the best ingredients. And we only source ingredients from partners we truly get to know and trust personally.

You Really Can Taste the Difference

When you bite into a Jensen burger patty, you’ll immediately taste the superior quality of our real beef patties. We’ve pioneered a unique process that locks in 50% more juiciness than a standard beef patty, ensuring our patties never dry out. This guarantees you get the best eating experience every time. We’re dedicated to raising your expectations for hamburger quality, one tasty Jensen patty at a time.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Sweet Italian Sausage
  • ¾ lb Lean Ground Beef
  • ½ cup Minced Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic, crushed
  • 1 (28 oz) can Crushed Tomatoes
  • 1 (6 oz) cans Tomato Paste
  • ½ cup Water
  • 2 (6.5 oz) cans Tomato Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Salt
  • 1½ tsp dried Basil
  • ¼ tsp ground Black Pepper
  • 4 Tbsp chopped Fresh parsley
  • 12 Lasagne Noodles
  • 16 oz Ricotta Cheese
  • 1 Egg
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¾ lb Mozzarella Cheese, sliced
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan Cheese

Directions

  1. In a Dutch oven, cook sausage, ground beef, onion and garlic, over medium heat until well browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Season with sugar, basil, 1 tablespoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Simmer covered for about 1½ hours, stirring occasionally
  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8–10 minutes. Drain noodles, rinse with cold water, and sprinkle with olive oil to keep noodles from sticking to each other.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining parsley, and ½ teaspoon salt.

  5. To assemble, spread 1½ cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange 3 noodles lengthwise over meat sauce. Spread with one half of the ricotta cheese mixture. Top with a third of mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon 1½ cups meat sauce over mozzarella and sprinkle with ¼ cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, and top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil – to prevent sticking: spray foil with cooking spray, or make a foil tent to make sure it does not touch the cheese.
  6. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
