Simple Burger Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Lightly combine all ingredients, seasoning with salt and pepper
     
  2. Gently form into four 3/4 inch (2 cm) thick patties.  Avoid pressing them, having air spaces makes for the best burgers.
     
  3. Cook patties over medium-high heat on a lightly oiled grill.  Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, testing doneness with a digital thermometer inserted sideways into centre of each patty — burgers are completely cooked when thermometer reads 160°F (71°C).  If you prefer them a little pink on the inside, take them off the heat at 160°F (60°C).

Makes: 4 Burgers.
