Here's my recipe for burgers. Find a good round roast, ask the butcher to grind it after trimming any excess fat. Bring it home, mix with olive oil, egg, bread crumbs, parsley flakes, pepper, a pinch of onion powder, and paprika. Also a teaspoon of beef extract diluted in a little water. A little Worcestershire sauce too.
Make balls a little smaller than a baseball and keep slapping them until they are very tight, all gaps gone, then handshape into 3/4 inch patties.
Grill over direct medium heat on a gas grill for about five minutes. If anybody wants cheese, it goes on after grilling and the burger gets put under our broiler for a minute.
Sometimes we go with Kaiser rolls, other times the really soft Pepperidge Farm sesame-seed buns.
The kids love them too!
PS We haven't eaten in a restaurant since early February. Ordered pizza out once, but then just started going with Sam's Club large refrigerated ones.
