Classic Hamburgers

Making your own burgers is relatively quick and easy and this recipe has a fraction of the sodium of prepared burgers. Another bonus? If you are on a high protein diet, you can make the burgers big and if you are on a lower protein diet you can make your portion exactly right for you!

Ingredients

1 lb
lean ground beef
1
egg
1
small onion, minced or 2 tbsp dried minced onion
¼ cup
dry bread crumbs
1 tsp
no salt added steak spice (or ground pepper)
1 tsp
Dijon mustard

Directions

In bowl, mix egg with onion, bread crumbs, spices and mustard. Add beef, combining gently. Shape into patties (makes 4 regular sized burgers).

Place on greased grill over medium heat. Grill, turning once, until no longer pink inside and internal temperature reads 160°F (71°C).
