Hamburgers

It's another one of my 'no brainer' meals. With a little prep ahead of time, I can feed 5 or 15 with much thought. When I set out ground chuck, (to unthaw), to make burgers, I set out 6-10 pounds. Why? Because with a little extra work I have extra to freeze for a busy day or unexpected company.

Base Recipe for Hamburgers
2# Grass Fed Ground Chuck
1 tsp Sea Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
1 small Onion, diced
Garlic

Add in's, optional:
Shredded Cheese
Blue Cheese
Oregano
Basil
Rosemary
Thyme
Taco Seasoning

Mix raw ground chuck, sea salt, pepper, onion, and garlic. If desired, add an 'add in'. Form hamburger patties. You should get about 4 patties per pound of meat. Grill over a hot grill. Flip only once and Don't Over Cook! A little pink in the center will create a juicy burger.

Get to know your grill. Ok, I know that sound silly, but I know my grill. It has a hot spot in the top left corner and another in the middle top right section. I also know it takes 4 - 5 minutes on each side for my burgers to be grilled to perfection. When you 'know' your grill, you are never guessing how long to cook and your food will turn out excellent every time.

We like our burgers on wheat buns with ketchup, onions, cheese, spinach and mustard. I can smell them now. No, really I can. We grilled some last night and the smell is still lingering :)
