Preparation

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, soak bread in milk or water. Mix bread well with fork until bread absorbs liquid and is well blended. Add beef and mix gently until bread mixture is incorporated.

Divide mixture into 6 equal balls. Wet hands slightly and shape into ¾ inch thick by 4 ½ inch round patties. HINT: Make a quarter sized depression in the center of each patty, about a quarter of an inch deep.

Grill over medium high heat, 4 to 6 minutes per side or until desired doneness is achieved. Recommended internal temperature is 160 degrees for well done.

About 1 ½ minutes before the burgers are ready to remove from grill, add cheese to melt and place buns on broiler to toast if desired.

Build burgers with desired condiments and enjoy.
