Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb lean ground beef
1 large egg
1/2 c minced onions
1/4 c cup fine dried bread crumbs
1 Tbsp worcestershire
1 or 2 clove garlic
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
4 large hamburger buns, 4in wide, split
1/4 c mayonnaise
1/4 c ketchup
4 iceberg lettuce leaves, rinced & crisp
1 firm ripe tomatoe, cored & sliced
4 thin sliced red or sweet onion

Steps:

  • 1. 1. In a bowl, mix ground beef, egg, onion, bread crumbs, Worcestershire, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until well blended. Divide mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 4 inches wide.
  • 2. 2. Lay burgers on an oiled barbecue grill over a solid bed of hot coals or high heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds); close lid on gas grill. Cook burgers, turning once, until browned on both sides and no longer pink inside (cut to test), 7 to 8 minutes total. Remove from grill
  • 3. 3. Lay buns, cut side down, on grill and cook until lightly toasted, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • 4. 4. Spread mayonnaise and ketchup on bun bottoms. Add lettuce, tomato, burger, onion, and salt and pepper to taste. Set bun tops in place.
  • 5. Notes: If you want absolute bacteria safety, you need to cook your burgers to 160°. This recipe will keep them moist. To make cheeseburgers, about 1 minute before burgers are done, top with sliced cheese; continue cooking until cheese begins to melt. Prep and cook time: about 30 minutes.

The secret sauce really makes this burger. It's the perfect combination of tangy and sweet.
