Burgers

Ingredients:

- 1 egg

- 1 teaspoon mustard (regular or Dijon)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 small onion, finely grated (or minced dried onion)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper

- 1 lb medium ground beef

Directions:

Lightly oil grill. Heat to medium.

Whisk egg in a bowl. Add next 6 ingredients. Add any "stir-ins" that appeal to you (sun dried tomato, lemon or lime rind, ketchup, barbecue sauce, curry powder, fresh herbs, cajun seasoning, teriyaki sauce, etc.).

Crumble in the beef. Use your hands or a fork to gently mix. Handle the meat as little as possible to avoid toughness. Gently shape the mixture into burgers, about 3/4" thick. Use your thumb to make a shallow depression in the middle of each burger to prevent puffing up while cooking.

Place burgers on grill. Close lid. Cook until no longer pink inside, turning once (about 6-8 minutes per side). Meat thermometer should read 160F.
