Bonus Tips for Better Burgers:
- Add a beaten egg to burger mix for rich flavour and to help bind meat
- Add a heaping spoonful or two of toasted bread crumbs or Panko for added flavour and as a meat binder
- Stir in a few spoonfuls of grated onion for added flavour and to keep burgers moist
- To keep patties from bulging in the middle while cooking, make an indent in centre of each patty with the back of a spoon before grilling
- To keep patties from sticking to grill grate, start with a lightly greased hot grill
- Flip burgers as needed but resist the urge to press down on patties with a spatula as this will squeeze out flavourful juices while cooking
