Shopping List

• 1 lb. Ground Beef
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
• Fresh Ground Sea Salt
• Black Pepper
• Garlic Powder
• Onion Powder
• 1 tbsp. Margarine or Butter

Instructions

1. Place Meat in Mixing bowl (Thaw meat if necessary, I buy my beef half a cow at a time so the freezer is always full of it. Be sure not to cook it, we want our meat nice and pliable.)
2. Melt the margarine or butter in the measuring bowl.
3. Crack the egg and add to the mixing bowl (double check for shells in the egg) and beat with a fork until liquefied.
4. Mix in the 1 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce.
5. Pour contents of measuring bowl over meat in mixing bowl.
6. Kneed the meat with your hands until well blended. The meat should be saturated with liquid.
7. To get the meat to stick together correctly add the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Continue mixing with your hands.
8. Once thoroughly mixed the meat should start sticking together into a giant ball. Roll it together picking up all the stray pieces of meat.
9. Separate the ball into two smaller balls, these will later become your patties.
10. Over a pre-heated grill or griddle flatten the ball in your hand to create a patty about half an inch thick and slightly larger than your palm. If you have small hands you can use a plate as a surface to work with.
11. DO NOT THROW THE MEAT DIRECTLY ON THE GRILL/GRIDDLE,  using a paper towel brush some olive oil onto the hot surface before the meat to prevent sticking.
12. Place the patties on the grill/griddle and let cook. Every Five minutes turn the patties until the juices run clear. If it stops producing juices its too dry, if its pink its not done. Should take about 15 minutes.

Add fresh lettuce, tomato, cheese, mushrooms, etc. You will not be disappointed.
