Marylin Burgers - Beef, chicken, turkey or veggie

Makes 6 Burgers

2 Lbs Lean ground beef (can sub ground chicken or turkey)
1 Medium mild onion finely diced (Vidalia, Spanish etc...)
1 Egg
1 Cup Bread Crumbs
Salt and pepper
2 Tablespoons Ketchup
1 Tablespoon Grainy Mustard
Splash Worcestershire Sauce
Crushed Chilli Peppers

To prepare
Put all ingredients in large bowl except bread crumbs, and mix together well until you feel they are evenly ditributed. Start adding bread crumbs. The amount you need will vary per batch. The goal is to make sure the burger will hold together well (When you form a ball and drop it on the counter it shouldn't break).
Break into 6 even portions and form a ball, than flatten to desired thickness.

In the summer I would BBQ on high indirect heat (to keep from flaring up) with lid closed for 8 minutes per side. Today I pan cooked becuase its snowing and I din't feel like going outside. 1 tablespoon of olive oil on Medium high heat, add burgers and put on tight fitting lid. Do not touch for 8 minutes. Remove lid, flip burgers, put the lid back on. Reduce heat to medium. This will keep the burgers juicy. Too much flipping will dry them out. Put on your favorite bun. We today did the Marylin style which is on a toasted white ot whole wheat bread. Add your favorite toppings and you're done!

VEGGIE VERSION
Makes 6 burgers (We made 2 large burgers tonight - just 1/2 the ingredients)

2 Can Chickpeas(can sub lentils, kidney beans etc...)
1 Medium mild onion finely diced (Vidalia, Spanish etc...)
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup - 1 Cup Flour
Salt and pepper
2 Tablespoons Ketchup
1 Tablespoon Grainy Mustard
Splash Worcestershire Sauce
Crushed Chilli Peppers

To prepare
Put all ingredients in large bowl except flour, and mix together well until you feel they are evenly ditributed. You want the 1.2 the chickpeas to be in a paste and the other 1/2 still 1/4 to 1/2 of its original shape. This allows for some texture in the burger. Start adding flour. The amount you need will vary per batch. The goal is to make sure the burger will hold together well.

Break into 6 even portions and form a ball, than flatten to desired thickness.

1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat, add burgers and put on tight fitting lid. Do not touch for 8 minutes. Remove lid, flip burgers, put the lid back on. Reduce heat to medium-low. Too much flipping can break them. Put on your favorite bun. We today did the Marylin style which is on a toasted white ot whole wheat bread. Add your favorite toppings and you're done!
