Gourmet Cheeseburger Recipe – Starting With The Basics

Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon mustard regular or Dijon
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 small onion finely grated
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 lb  best burger meat

Instructions

  1. Lightly oil your grill & heat BBQ to medium.
  2. Whisk the egg in a bowl and add the next 6 ingredients.
  3. Crumble in the beef and, 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.
  4. Gently shape (don’t firmly press) the mixture into burgers about ¾ inch thick.
  5. Using your thumb, make a shallow depression in the center of each burger to prevent puffing up during cooking.
  6. Place the burgers on the grill, close the lid and BBQ until NO LONGER PINK INSIDE, turning once, about 6 – 8 minutes per side.
  7. An instant read thermometer should read 160F.
  8. Don't abuse your burgers by pressing with a spatula, pricking with a fork or turning frequently as precious juices will be lost!
  9. Tuck into a warm crusty bun & add your favorite toppings.
