1 lb lean ground beef
1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
4 hamburger buns

Answer 2

Tex-Mex Burger with Cajun Mayo
INGREDIENTS

* 1/2 cup mayonnaise
* 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
* 1 1/3 pounds ground beef sirloin
* 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
* 1/2 cup diced white onion
* 1 clove garlic, minced
* 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
* 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
* 4 slices pepperjack cheese
* 4 hamburger buns, split
* 4 leaves lettuce
* 4 slices tomato

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat grill for medium-high heat. In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the ground sirloin, jalapeno pepper, onion, garlic, 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce using your hands. Divide into 4 balls, and flatten into patties.
3. Lightly oil the grilling surface, and place the patties on the grill. Cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until well done. During the last 2 minutes, lay a slice of cheese on top of each patty. Spread the seasoned mayonnaise onto the insides of the buns. Put burgers in the buns, and top with lettuce and tomato to serve.

Answer 3

For meatloaf and meatballs, I'll use one or more eggs, as well as other flavorings and fillers (herbs, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, etc etc).

But for burgers, less is more. Minimal additional ingredients, and minimal handling. I just separate the ground beef (or buffalo, or whatever the meat is) into equal sized blobs, and shape them into patties. I'll season them with salt, pepper, or garlic powder (maybe a little BBQ dry rub), but only on the outside; it's not mixed in.

And with burgers, don't over-manipulate the ground meat. Too much handling makes it sort of pasty when it's raw, and the meat become tough when cooked. The burgers will hold together just fine on the grill.

In a large mixing bowl, soak the bread in enough water to cover. Squeeze out and discard the water. Add the ground beef and herbs, salt and pepper. Break in the egg and mix well with hands or fork. Shape the meat into 4 large patties, each about 1 inch thick.
