Much Better Burgers

Everyone knows how to grill a burger. Its not rocket science. But few people know the benefits of garlic powder and soy sauce!

To make a much better hamburger than you usually grill, put away all the spices and sauces except these two gems (garlic powder and soy sauce).

I'm talking about real hamburgers, not those thin pre-pressed patties that come in a box of 40. Use 80/20 ground beef, 90/10 even...

In a small bowl, mix a tablespoon (woops, i used a measurement) of garlic powder with about 1/5 cup of soy sauce. I prefer to use low sodium soy sauce, but use whatever you like!

To form a quality hamburger (intended for the grill), make a ball of beef in your hand about the size of a baseball, then flatten it out with a solid smack between your hands. Shape the edges so the burger does not fall apart.

Place your patties on a hot grill (charcoal people, it's great!) and baste the top side with your soy/garlic... wait about 2 minutes then flip and baste again. Cook to taste. Just before you're ready to put the cheese on them, baste both sides once more.

Juicy and delicious burgers are SOOO SIMPLE TO MAKE!
