These are the burgers my mother is famous for — my parents’ visiting day barbecues are the stuff of legend in my extended family. When I asked for exact ingredients, my mother told me that it’s actually my grandmother’s recipe (we call her Ima), and of course, she never measures.

Ingredients

Burgers

  • 2 pounds (1 kilogram) lean ground beef

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 tablespoons onion soup mix

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion

Assembly

  • 8 burger buns

  • lettuce

  • beefsteak tomato, thinly sliced

  • red onion, thinly sliced

  • avocado, thinly sliced

  • ketchup, barbecue sauce, and/or mayonnaise, to taste

Directions

Prepare the Burgers

1.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

2.

Mix all burger ingredients by hand until just combined.

3.

Form into burgers and grill over medium-high heat for four to five minutes per side or until desired doneness.

4.

Serve on buns with lettuce, tomato, red onion, avocado, and condiments of your choice.

Tips:

My mom makes these burgers for Pesach by grating one small potato per pound of meat in place of the bread crumbs. You can do that easily to make them gluten-free all year round.

I didn’t have Italian bread crumbs so I used corn flakes crumbs and added some Italian spices – rosemary, oregano, and basil. It came out delicious!
