My butcher makes my burgers for me. You can get them fresh or fr**en (no flames please). Of course I buy them fresh when I can. I usually call and ask when they will have them fresh. Always important to have a good relationship with your butcher.

Anyhow, they use 75/25 black angus chuck for the ones I like the best. A little salt and pepper, cooked to mid-rare. Done.

When my fiancee and I make ours using lean ground, we tend to mix in french onion powdered soup mix along with salt/pepper and a single egg. We make the patty using a largish jar lid (put a layer of plastic wrap in to make removal easier), press in roughly 1/8th lb of meat, then put a couple tbls of shredded cheddar/bacon bits mix on top leaving outside edge of patty clear, place roughly 1/8th lb meat on top and press edges together to form finished patty. Refrigerate for 20 - 30min to allow the meat to become a bit more solid.

The other burgers we make use ground buffalo, super super lean meat and very healthy. For those burgers we add a little salt and pepper and an egg up that's it. We enjoy the favour of the buffalo too much to alter it with any additional spices or flavourings.

Awesome idea! I do it with my meatballs (actually 50-50), why not a burger?

Both of these points are soooo true. Almost falling apart when you flip them is best IMO

Alright Steve, I must ask...who's your butcher? If he's quasi-close I may have to check him out!

Joe Butcher shop in Vineland. Quite a distance from you, but maybe worth a trip. Another good one is Bringhurst in Tansboro (just south of Atco).

Full fat freshly coarse ground sirloin. Salt and pepper before, and a heavy dose of salt as its on the grill. I also indent the center to keep them from turning into a giant meatball while cooking (I usually do 3/4 - 1 lb each).

It is a bit expensive here but worth it. IMHO of course.

Whatever recipe you use, once the patty is formed press your thumb into the middle before grilling making the middle a bit thinner than the rest of the patty. You will be amazed at how much this simple trick reduces patty shrinkage and insures a consistent level of "doneness" through the burger.

Wow, no mention of hot sauce or crushed red pepper?

1 egg, salt, pepper, a few dashes of Louisiana style hot sauce (ok a lot of dashes), add some crushed red pepper. Make patties as mentioned before.

Tasty and with a little kick.

It was either on America's Test Kitchen or Good Eats (neither of which I get here in Afghanistan ) that they showed something that sounds nasty, but makes a great burger: milk and bread. I kid you not. Especially if you have folks that like a (gasp) well done burger, milk and bread help keep it super moist. I forgot the ratio of milk and bread to beef, but last time I did this, even my friends who only like well done were flabbergasted.

On seasoning, I'm a plain salt/pepper guy, but occasionally like to add make a greek-style burger where you add some finely minced onion, rosemary, and feta cheese. Salt a pepper to taste. Can't go wrong!

Are we referring to Ted's Montana Grill? I'm all over the kitchen sink, but usually for dinner since you'll be in a coma after eating it.
