Ingredients

2 pounds ground chuck
½ cup crushed saltine crackers or Panko breadcrumbs
1 large egg
2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
2 Tbs milk
3 Tbs BLT Dip Mix

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, add in the ground beef, crushed crackers, egg, Worcestershire sauce, milk, salt, and BLT Dip mix. Mix by hand until the meat mixture is very smooth.
Press the meat down in the bowl, into an even disk. Use a knife to cut and divide the hamburger patty mixture into 6 – 1/3 pound grill or skillet patties, or 12 thin griddle patties.
Set out a baking sheet, lined with wax paper or foil, to hold the patties. One at a time, gather the patty mix and press firmly into patties. Shape them just slightly larger than the buns you plan to use, to account for shrinkage during cooking. Set the patties on the baking sheet. Use a spoon to press a dent in the center of each patty so they don't puff up as they cook. If you need to stack the patties separate them with a sheet of wax paper.
Preheat the grill or a skillet to medium heat. (Approximately 350-400 degrees F.) For thick patties: Grill or fry the patties for 3-4 minutes per side. For thin patties: Cook on the griddle for 2 minutes per side.
Grill Master Notes-Temperature for Burgers: Cook burgers until they reach 5 degrees below the temperature you desire. Well-done: 160 degrees. Medium-Well: 150-155 degrees. Medium 140-145 degrees.
Stack the hot patties on butter grilled hamburgers buns, and top with your favorite hamburgers toppings. Oh, and don’t forget the crispy fries! Simple and Delicious!
