Recipe Instructions

* Note: Six ounces raw weight yields 4 ounces ready to eat.

If desired, mix the ground meat with any of the optional additives. These ingredients do not change nutrient values but do add taste.

Form the meat into four equal-size burgers. Broil or grill about 4 inches from heat source. "Baste" frequently with water to keep moist (a spray bottle works very well for this).

This recipe yields 4 burgers.
