Ingredients
  • 1-1/2 to 2 pounds lean ground beef (You can use any lean ground meat you like. Even a mixture of meats is good.)
  • 4 - 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • a good squirt of Heinz 57 Sauce or A1 Sauce
  • 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs or if you don't have bread crumbs handy...shred 1 slice of bread
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh or dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh or dried basil leaves
  • 6 whole wheat hamburger buns, split or if you have allergies you could use 2 slices of Spelt bread - even as a substitute for the bread crumbs.
  • *Let mixture sit covered in the fridge for at least 1/2 hour so that all the ingredients get infused into the meat.

Directions
  1. Preheat your outdoor BBQ on high heat or preheat your skillet on the stovetop.
  2. Mix together all the above mentioned ingredients... except for the hamburger buns ;-)
  3. Divide the mixture into 5 or 6 balls(depending on the appetites), and flatten into patties.
  4. Cook patties for about 10 minutes on each side, or to your personal doneness.
  5. The internal temperature should be at least 160/170 degrees F (70 degrees C).
  6. Remove from BBQ or skillet and place on burger buns.
  7. Add your desired toppings and condiments. We like either Spanish or Red onions, sauerkraut(rinsed, drained and gently warmed in the frying pan), dill pickles, ketchup or salsa, relish and for those who like mustard any type will do. Lettuce instead of sauerkraut works well too ;-)
  8. Note: Always make certain the burgers have been cooked completely. Especially those cooked for young children or the elderly as they are more fragile. E. coli is a dreadful bacteria and has terrible and sometimes fatal consequences.

Aside from the obvious health benefits, are there any other specific reasons for using lean beef? I'm of the Bobby Flay mindset that burger beef shouldn't be more then 80% lean, which most people would not consider as lean.

Also, ever try it on the George Foreman Grill? Or one of similar stature of a different brand?


Hi there Bigdog and thanks for your questions. You can use any type of ground meat you like. If you prefer medium or regular ground beef with the extra fat/flavour, go right ahead. Yes, I have a Hamilton Beach grill and I love burgers done that way as well. Quite honesetly, I'm not a BBQ fanatic but during the summer months we crank up the BBQ ;-)
