My family always enjoys a good BBQ. Hamburgers are generally offered but don’t necessarily take center stage. Imagine my surprise when everyone requested doubles and even triples of this recipe!

INGREDIENTS

YIELDS 10–12 HAMBURGERS

1 lb (454 g) ground beef
1/3 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
1 egg slightly beaten
½ small onion grated
¾ tsp salt
½–¾ tsp black pepper
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp garlic powder
3 Tbsp sweet chili sauce (Note: If using an Israeli brand of sweet chili sauce reduce the amount to 1 Tbsp as it is much sweeter than the American brands)
2 Tbsp pareve milk

PREPARATION

In a medium-sized bowl combine all ingredients and mix well. Take 1/3 cup ground beef mixture and fashion into a ball. Place the ball into a hamburger press and flatten into a ¾-inch patty.

You may fashion the patties by hand but be careful to ensure even thickness throughout. Grease the grill and preheat to high. The trick to a perfect burger is to only turn it once. Generally 3 minutes each side should be adequate.
