Make Sure You Have Plenty of Propane First
Before we get started, we’d be remiss if we didn’t make sure you have a propane tank on hand to ensure that you can make your meal to completion without having to run out and get a new tank. Wondering where to buy a propane tank? We have locations all across the United States, so swing by and grab one, then let’s get cooking.
Here’s What You Need
As promised, this recipe is really simple and chances are that you won’t even have to go to the grocery store to get everything because you already have it on hand. You’ll need:
- One pound of 80/20 ground beef
- One egg
- ⅓ cup breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper
- Your bun of choice
- Your cheese of choice
Before you get started, preheat your grill to high heat. While you’re waiting for the grill to get hot, combine everything in the list above except your buns and cheese and stir it all together. Once that’s done, form three patties into shape.
Cook uncovered on your heated grill about 7 or 8 minutes per side or until the burger is cooked to your preferred level of done-ness. Top with cheese in the last few minutes of cooking and toast your bun as well.
The End Result
We think that what you’ll find is that by adding a few easy ingredients, your burger takes on a whole different layer of flavor and texture. It’s the perfect way to take a family staple and transform it into something that’s new and fresh without having to go out and get a million different (and possibly hard to find) ingredients.
The egg and breadcrumbs hold everything together nicely while also imparting a bit of extra flavor. If you really want to kick it up another notch you can add garlic breadcrumbs, hot sauce, or any combination of spices that you like to suit your individual tastes.
It really is as simple as that. You get a high quality meal that’s made to suit your family’s needs using ingredients you already had on hand. It really doesn’t get much better than that, does it?
