JUICIEST HAMBURGERS EVER
No more dry, lackluster burgers. These are juicy, and spices can be easily added or changed to suit anyone's taste. Baste frequently with your favorite barbeque sauce. If you find the meat mixture too mushy, just add more bread crumbs until it forms patties that hold their shape.

BURGERS, WELL-DONE BUT STILL JUICY!
From America's Test Kitchen. "Adding a panade (a paste of bread and milk paste) to the ground beef creates burgers that are juicy and tender even when well-done. For a burger that cooks up flat, press the center of each patty down with your fingertips before grilling. Serve the burgers on your favorite buns or rolls. For cheeseburgers, follow the optional instructions below."

Steps:
- Heat grill.
- Mash bread and milk in large bowl with fork until pasty (you should have about 1/4 cup). Stir in salt, pepper, garlic, and steak sauce.
- Break up beef into small pieces over bread mixture. Using fork or hands, lightly mix together until mixture forms cohesive mass.
- Divide meat into 4 equal portions. Gently toss one portion of meat back and forth between hands to form loose ball. Gently flatten into 3/4-inch-thick patty that measures about 4 1/2 inches in diameter. Press center of patty down with fingertips until it is about 1/2 inch thick, creating a slight depression in each patty. Repeat with remaining portions of meat.
- Lightly dip wad of paper towels in vegetable oil; holding wad with tongs, wipe cooking grate. Grill burgers on hot side of grill, uncovered, until well seared on first side, 2 to 4 minutes. Using wide metal spatula, flip burgers and continue grilling, about 3 minutes for medium-well or 4 minutes for well-done. Distribute equal portions of cheese (if using) on burgers about 2 minutes before they reach desired doneness, covering burgers with disposable aluminum pan to melt cheese. While burgers grill, toast buns on cooler side of grill, rotating buns as necessary to toast evenly. Serve burgers on toasted buns.
Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef: Opt for a blend of 80% lean and 20% fat for juicy burgers. If you prefer leaner burgers, use a blend with a higher percentage of lean meat.
- Handle the beef gently: Overworking the beef can make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until combined, and avoid over-kneading.
- Season simply: Salt and pepper are the essential seasonings for burgers. You can add other herbs and spices, but don't overdo it.
- Form the patties gently: Use your hands to gently form the patties, avoiding pressing them too tightly. Make sure the patties are uniform in thickness so they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the burgers, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so they can cook evenly. Overcrowding the pan will result in steamed burgers.
- Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that your burgers are cooked to your desired doneness is to use a meat thermometer. Cook the burgers until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, or 170°F for well-done.
- Let the burgers rest: After cooking the burgers, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the burgers, resulting in a more flavorful and juicy burger.
Conclusion:
With the right ingredients and techniques, you can make tender and moist burgers that will be the star of your next cookout. Experiment with different seasonings and toppings to find your favorite combinations. You'll be amazed at how easy it is to make delicious burgers at home.
