Bill Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix together ground round, beaten eggs, onions, soda crackers, garlic powder, salt, pepper and barbecue sauce. Mix until well incorporated.
• Weigh out hamburger patties to 6 - 7 ounce each.
• Press together and flatten to about 3 1/2" in diameter or use a mold.
• The patties should be about 3/4" thick.
• Using a round wooden spoon handle (about 1/4" round), make a hole in the center of the hamburger pattie.
• In a frying pan over medium-high heat, heat olive oil.
• Place 3 patties into the hot oil and fry for about 2 to 3 minutes, the hole will begin to close.
• Turn patty over and continue to fry for about 2 to 3 minutes.
• The hole that was made in the pattie will fill in when the hamburger is cooked through properly.
• Check for doneness to make sure there is no pink showing.
• NOTE: If the burger mixture does not hold together when squeezed, add some milk and mix to blend.
• Serve in a nice large bun that is warmed and buttered with a spread of mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, a slice of sweet onion, a slice of a large tomato, and a leaf of lettuce.
• A slice of Swiss cheese layered on the burger patty is great.
• A pickle of your choice adds an additional touch.
• Fry some mushrooms and spread some over the top of the bun.
• Fried caramalized onions are a good added touch.
• This makes a fantastic hamburger.
