Chris' Best Burgers

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon butter
• 0.5 cups finely diced onion
• 2 pounds ground beef chuck
• 0.5 pounds ground lamb
• 5 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook and stir onion until nearly translucent, about 4 minutes; remove from heat and cool to room temperature.

2. 2

   Mix the beef chuck, lamb, onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Divide the mixture into fifths and form each portion into a large burger. Press an indentation in the center of each burger with your thumb to keep burgers flat while cooking. Chill the patties thoroughly, 4 to 8 hours. Allow burgers to warm to room temperature before cooking.

3. 3

   Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

4. 4

   Cook burgers on the hot grill until they show grill marks and the meat is no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes per side. Do not press burgers with a spatula as they cook, and flip only once. Let stand 1 minute before serving.
