well............to ME, burgers are not as much of a recipe, but more of an "approach".
My approach is this;
1) Start with 75/25 lean meat. GOOD meat......try different places until you find the best ground beef around.
2) Make'em BIG........I suggest between 1/2-3/4lb for each burger. Use a bowl or something to get a nice round patty without overly thin edges. I use a non tapered stainless bowl lined with plastic wrap.
3) Season the meat with a little salt & pepper throughout. Sometime a bit of Tabasco helps too.
4) Cook on the grill to medium done-ness.
5) Serve on a big soft roll (like a Kaiser) that has been lightly toasted and buttered.
My favorite toppings......
Swiss cheese, lettuce, pickle, raw onion, mayo.
