Burgers With a Special Touch

"This is based off of an Ina Garten recipe, changed slightly due to personal preference. This is a moist and flavorful burger that my whole family loves. If you're tired of the same ol' same ol' burger, give this a try! You can either use an outdoor grill or an indoor grill pan. Can easily be doubled, etc.."

  1. Didn't know a hamburger could taste like a gourmet meal. What a difference all the extras made in flavor my steak sauce was A-1 since I love it. Half the fun was deciding what to top the burger with. If you're wanting to impress with a barbie, this is it
     
  2. These burgers are really good! I couldn't find Crosse & Blackwell steak sauce and used our standby Pickapeppa sauce instead. I was concerned about adding the egg yolks, but should not have worried. The burgers were moist and had a great flavor. Made for the Aussie barbie challenge, Susie's World Tour 2018.

  3. Very moist burger, even using the leaner meat. I ended up with huge burgers, and they still held together nicely. Little something extra with the steak sauce too. Made for For Your Consideration tag game. Thanks for sharing!
     
  4. mr picky loved these moist burgers ,cherry bombers
     
  5. Given all the lean and extra lean meat available it is hard to get a juicy burger. This recipe did the trick perfectly!!! I'll be making them this way frequently. Thanks! Lesley (aka K9 Owned)

Hello! I have a wonderful husband and two fantastic kids. I love to read, have fun with family and friends, stay active with: running; soccer; golf; biking; hiking; and gardening. I love to travel. I'm looking forward to more international travel someday. Cooking has become a passion for me. I love to read cookbooks, watch the Food Network, and try new recipes. I have way too many cookbooks! A few of my favorites are: Barefoot Contessa (any - but especially 'Family Style'),Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2, Roasting by Barbara Kafka, Beyond Parsley & The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook. I try to carefully choose recipes that I think my family will enjoy, which is why most of my ratings are 3-5 stars. Happy cooking!
