Home-made burger recipes?

[singlecoil]

We bought a Weber burger press and tried it out this evening. It worked very well, as long as it was greased between each pressing, but the recipe needs work. The main problem is the consistency of the burgers when cooked, a bit sort of granular. For our first attempt we tried just the beef and seasoning, cooked it on a barbecue turning once.

We used it on the 1/4 pounder setting, maybe we should have made less and made them thicker.

Anyway, all suggestions are welcome.

I use a Ikea jar lid as my burger press, 1Kg of meat doing just over 10 burgers so I think that's around 1/4 pounder each. I'm not sure how long greasing would take but we just use a piece of cling film in the lid, pack the meat and pull the cling film to take the burger out. Quick and easy.

The greasing is very quick. A squirt of Frylight on each part, quick wipe with some kitchen roll to spread it out. Quicker to do than to type.
