I make mine using 8oz (1/2 lb) 88% lean ground beef (usually from Costco) to which I fold in 1T of unseasoned (plain) bread crumbs and 2 strips of smoked bacon cut into 1/2' slices. The bacon adds to the flavor by replacing the missing fat (a lot of extra lean chuck tastes like cardboard) and the bread crumbs help retain the moisture while grilling.

Usually, I'll do 'em in bulk and freeze them a dozen at a time. As an added twist, I serve them with some spinach sauteed with olive oil and garlic instead of the traditional tomato/onion along with my 'doctored' JD/Knob Creek sauce (just posted in 'recipes'), on a kaiser roll.
