WOW – finally a great-tasting lean burger! Chopped mushrooms and milk are added for extra juiciness, and Worcestershire sauce is a super-simple seasoning. Use a moderate heat for grilling to avoid scorching.

Ingredients

egg, lightly beaten


(60 mL) EACH finely chopped onion and mushrooms


(60 mL) evaporated milk


(30 mL) Worcestershire Sauce


clove garlic, minced


Pepper, to taste


(500 g) Extra Lean or Lean Ground Beef


(125 mL) dry bread crumbs

Directions

Combine egg, onion, mushrooms, milk, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and pepper, to your taste, in a bowl with a fork. Mix in beef and bread crumbs. Gently form into six 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick patties. Press a dimple into the centre of each patty. Place onto a lightly oiled parchment- or foil-lined rimmed baking sheet; cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or for up to 1 day.

Grill patties in a closed preheated barbecue over medium-high heat (400°F/200°C) for 10 to 14 minutes, turning twice, or until digital instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into centre of each patty reads 160°F (71°C).

Tip: Ground beef comes designated as Extra Lean, Lean, Medium or Regular, based on the maximum fat content. This designation is the same for all ground meats: beef, turkey, veal, chicken, pork and lamb.
