HEARTY BACKYARD BURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• You want to portion out your ground beef for the amount of burgers you want to make. If making six 1/4 pound burgers, you'll need 1-1/2 pounds of ground beef. Place it in a large glass or stainless steel mixing bowl.
• finely chop up a medium size yellow onion and mince 2 cloves of fresh garlic.
• Add the onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, light beer and salt and pepper to the ground beef.
• Mix all the ingredients together by hand. Mixing by using your hands is the most efficient way to thoroughly mix ground meat and ingredients like these.
• Adjust your burger press to 1/4 lb setting and tightly press the burger ground beef into the mold. It's important to tightly press the ground beef so the burgers hold together well during grilling and flipping.
• Pre-heat grill to high. Make sure the grates are clean, and sprayed with non-stick grilling spray for easy cooking.
• Once grill is heated add the burger patties, and cook until they are no longer pink in the middle (160 degrees F.)
• Place it into your favorite bun (we used bulky whole wheat buns) and top with your favorite toppings.
