Homemade Hamburgers

I was a little reluctant to share this one as it's my BFF's recipe and not mine (but I really love it!). This is the recipe that got me Barbecuing thing properly and not just burning the heck out of everything. I used to be afraid of serving things under cooked so if it was blacked, then it was cooked. Everything changed when I started making these hamburgers. I learned to get the correct temperature on the Barbecue, to cook things properly and as a results, these hamburgers are a summer favorite!

Ingredients:
1 - Lb lean ground beef
1 - Egg, beaten
1/4 - Cup bread crumbs
1/8 - Cup ketchup
1 - Tbsp green onion
1 - Tsp dry onion soup mix
1/2 - Tsp seasoning salt
1/2 - Tsp ground black pepper
5 -Thinsation / Thintini buns (not shown)




Directions:
Beat egg in a bowl, add bread crumbs, ketchup, green onion, dry onion soup mix, seasoning salt, pepper.

Mix everything together until well blended.

Add in the meat, mix well and form into a ball.

Split the ball into 5 equal size pieces. Another reason I love these burgers is that they aren't little "pucks of meat", they are a full sized and not very thick.Take one piece and put it in your palm. With your other hand tap it into a patty shape. Make sure that you start in the center and work your way out. You want the center to be slightly thinner than the sides so that the burgers will cook evenly (That was a Rachel Ray Tip!). Put the patties onto parchment / wax paper, stack on a plate, cover with saran wrap and put in the fridge until ready to cook. Another option is to put them into a freezer bag and freeze for later.

Barbecue and server with some homemade relish, homemade fries and homemade pickles :p
