Didn't too much care for this one, although I must say that I did enjoy grinding my own meat. I thought the burger had a meatloaf taste. Here's a tip for you, add worstershire sauce to your ground beef and mix together, then grill....it is yummmmy and oh so juicy and tender. I might try this meat grinding recipe when I make meat loaf, I think that would taste better than burgers.

I have been doing this for over 20 years! My late husband showed me that less was more! And he loved these burgers. Be sure not to handle too much. I confess to using store bought ground sirloin.
Oh, I used to add capers in the center sometimes...try it! Tastes great!

I used to put all kinds of seasonings in my burger. Never again...this is a choice burger, better than anything you can buy in a restaurant.

Doing the meat grinding thing wasn't hard at all. It really did taste good without any extra seasoning.

Alton's recipe is great. But there are a couple of things you can do to make your plain burger simply amazing.

After pulsing through the food processor, but the entire thing into a bowl. Add chopped onions and worsterchire sauce and mix thorougly. Put in the fridge for about 20 minutes and then cook.

I beg you to try this even if you don't like raw onions. While cooking the burgers, the onions will carmelize due to the high heat and the worsterchire sauce will add a little spice to the juiciness of the burger/sweetened onions.

Just like the wonderfully juicy, flavorful burgers from my childhood. Once again Alton's advice to abstain: no other seasonings-no flattening and thusly squeezing out all the flavor, only one turn. Thanks for saving us from ourselves!

I followed Alton?s recipe exactly, and the burger has got to be one of the best that I have ever had. I normally would have added more seasoning, in fact, probably quite a bit more. Backing off and going the simpler route leads to Good Eats!

there are a lot of simple but sometimes rare flavors happening in a good burger. this is because most of us have not had many 'good burgers'. my lack of acceptable burger experience drove me to try this recipe out. i found it a winner by far. there are many things i like about this recipe. the burger is somewhat crispy on the surface but moist, juicy and flavorful on the inside. it is everything you could ever want from a great burger. that's why i cook my burgers this way all the time. one of dozons of great recipes from alton. genius! kudos mr brown, kudos.
