This should make approx. 8 burgers. Start out with 2# ground round or ground sirloin.
Add these ingredients and mix together THOROUGHLY:
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (dried is ok, but add 1/4 cup milk to them & stir to soften) - you can also soften 2 slices Italian bread in 1/4 cup (or a little more) milk, mashing it occasionally until mushy
1/2 cup finely minced onion
2-3 cloves of garlic, finely minced/smashed
1 large egg
few Tblsp. minced parsley
1/4-1/2 cup grated parmesan (depends on how cheese you like it!)
season liberally with salt and pepper
After everything is totally mixed together, divide the meat up (for equal sized burgers) and form into patties.
At this point I will put the burgers onto a lightly greased baking sheet, put it into a preheated 350º oven and bake them until the meat is cooked, approx. 25-30 minutes, or until they're nice and browned.
OR
Heat 1/2 cup olive oil in a large frying pan and when the oil is hot, add the burgers. Cook them for 3-5 minutes - check to make sure they're browned, then turn them over and cook them on the other side until they're done.
If you're aiming to cook healthy - bake the burgers instead of frying them. Use ground sirloin (less fat than chuck) - use the egg WHITE only (& eliminate the yolk) - use lowfat milk/cheese.
Remove the burgers from the pan, place on a rack to drain any residual oil. Enjoy!
