Grilled Backyard Burgundy Burgers

Submitted by PSU Lioness

"I found this on the Betty Crocker site. It's a variation on the Grilled Backyard Beer Burger that uses burgundy wine in place of beer. It adds a moist and savory flavor to your usual pub grub! I would love to saute some mushrooms and melt some Swiss cheese over them at some point. Allow burger mixture to sit for a half hour before you throw them on the grill. It allows the flavors to blend and lends a more robust taste to the burgers. (Prep time includes refrigeration time)."

These burgers are full of flavor. We liked them so much. I didn't use salt. I made half the recipe but with 1 lb of ground beef and got 4 burgers. Thanks PSU Lioness :) Made for New Kids on the Block tag game
