There isn’t much that tastes as good on a warm summer evening as a homemade burger.
A Really Good, Basic Burger
Ingredients
1 egg
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard*,
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce*,
1 small onion, finely grated
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp. your favorite BBQ dry rub (we like House of Q House Rub)*
1 lb. regular ground beef
*Available at Well Seasoned
Instructions:
Heat BBQ to medium high, making sure the grill is super clean.
While your grill is heating up, whisk the egg in a mixing bowl & add the rest of the ingredients.
Crumble in beef & using your hands or a fork, gently mix together. Handle the meat as little as possible – the more you work it, the tougher it gets (kind of like pie dough). Gently shape (don’t firmly press) mixture into burgers about ¾ inch thick. Using your thumb, make a shallow depression in the centre of each burger to prevent puffing up during cooking. Place burger patties on a hot grill, close lid & cook, adjust the temperature as necessary – try to flip the burgers only once or twice during the cooking time. An instant read thermometer should read about 155°F /68.3°C.
Tuck into a fresh, toasty bun & add your favourite toppings.
