Chris' Bay Area Burgers

(1/1)

sleebus.jones:
I've got no idea who the heck Chris is, but dang if his burger recipe isn't tasty.  I've made two modifications to it.  Originally the olive oil was 2 Tbs, that just seemed like a lot and can lead to some spectacular grease fires on the grill if you are using direct flame.  I reduced the salt to 1 Tsp from 1.5 Tsp, as the original was close to 2% salt and that lead to a very salty burger.  This is now a more reasonable 1.4% salt, which is in the "yum" zone for me and most other folks.  Fun game to play with guests: see if they can identify the "mystery" herb in the burger.  I've yet to have someone guess Basil correctly.

Ground beef   1 lb
Garlic   2 Cloves
Olive oil   1 tbsp
Black pepper   1 tsp
Dry Basil leaves   1/2 tsp
salt   1 tsp
