    CountryLady's Note:

    Here are the ingredients & the instructions to make the perfect burger! Although it may not be the healthiest, use medium ground beef for moistness & flavour. The leaner varieties produce burgers that are drier with a denser, tighter texture. Don't use previously frozen meat as juices are lost during defrosting. If making ahead, cover with plastic wrap & refrigerate for no more than a day. Enjoy!

    BURGER

    FLAVOUR PERK STIR-INS

    Directions:

    1. 1
      Lightly oil grill& heat BBQ to medium.
    2. 2
      Whisk egg in a bowl& add next 6 ingredients.
    3. 3
      Add any of the “stir-ins” that appeal to you.
    4. 4
      Crumble in beef& using your hands or a fork, gently mix together.
    5. 5
      Handle the meat as little as possible – the more you work it, the tougher it gets.
    6. 6
      Gently shape (don’t firmly press) mixture into burgers about ¾ inch thick.
    7. 7
      Using your thumb, make a shallow depression in the centre of each burger to prevent puffing up during cooking.
    8. 8
      Place burgers on the grill, close lid& BBQ until NO LONGER PINK INSIDE, turning once, about 6 – 8 minutes per side.
    9. 9
      An instant read thermometer should read 160F.
    10. 10
      Don't abuse your burgers by pressing with a spatula, pricking with a fork or turning frequently as precious juices will be lost!
    11. 11
      Tuck into a warm crusty bun& add your favourite toppings.
