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..

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

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.

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!
