Hamburgers- Juicy and Delicious!

There is no need to go out for a hamburger when you can make one as good as this. Ray and I have been making these hamburgers for years and we LOVE them. During the summer we grill them almost every Saturday. As a matter of fact, they are on the menu for next week. Since it is cold out I am going to try them on the Geroge Foreman. Grilling is probably the best way to cook them but I am sure they will be great on the George Foreman too.  It is just a classic burger but the meat is so juicy and delicious. We don't have an actual recipe for it, we just do it by eye, but I will try my best to put it in recipe form.

Ingredient:
2 lb ground beef (I have heard 80% is best for burgers, we use 85%)
1 slice of bread
milk
1 egg
 steak sauce, about 1 TBSP (we use Heinz 57)
salt
pepper

Directions:
Tear a slice of bread into small pieces and place in a bowl. Add a little milk to the bread, just till all the bread is moist (about 1 tsp), mix.
Put ground beef in a bowl. Add the milky bread, 1 egg, about 1 TBSP of steak sauce (maybe less), and a dash of salt and pepper. Mix (using hands is easiest). Form into patties and grill. We normally get about 3 patties per lb of beef.
We like our buns toasted. Sometime we toast them on the grill but normally we spread a tiny bit of butter on them and broil them in the oven. Our favorite buns are Franz Coutry Potato buns. They are delicious!
Add your favorite topping and ENJOY!

Hints:
* if you use less meat make sure you use less egg
*if you add too much egg and steak sauce the meat will become too juicy and fall apart
*you can add garlic, if you like

Ginger
