re: Homemade Hamburger Recipes

Same as others have suggested. Don't overwork the meat. Put a dimple in the center. Salt and pepper on the outside. Get a good sear. Use condiments and additions once cooked for flavor. Search for the recent burger bar thread for more ideas.

No eggs. No breadcrumbs. If you want to add onions or other ingredients in the burger, "cut" them into the meat with a knife or fork ala Julia Child. Then just push the meat together. This method avoids overworking the meat making the burger packed and tough.
