Hamburgers, hamberguesas, hamburgery, الهامبرغرات, hamburgere, hampurilaisia, hambúrgueres, hamburgare, 汉堡包, whatever. I don't care how the frick you say it, it is always American. :) Here is my recipe for simple hamburgers. You can modify it is you are feeding a smaller crowd.


This is a very juicy burger and so far everyone that has tried it has loved it.


4 lbs ground beef sirloin

1/4 cup wheat germ

3/4 tsp black pepper

3/4 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp kosher or sea salt

1 large egg


1. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together with hands just until combined. Less handling= NOT a tough burger.
2. Grill on 300°F heat, flipping every 3-5 minutes, until insides are no longer red, about 10-12 minutes.

Yield: 9 medium-large burgers
I put mine on a whole wheat bun with sliced,
sauteed baby bella mushrooms; lettuce; tomato; mustard and ketchup.
