• 1 lb ground beef (I use ground round)
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs, plain
• 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp oregano
• 1/4 tsp dried parsley
• 1 large egg
• 2 Tbs whole milk

Using clean, dry hands, combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Pinch off large handfuls and roll, then press into burger patties. I always press a dimple into one side of the patty with a knuckle to help prevent the burger curling while it cooks. Heat over grill, in a pan or on a griddle until burger is cooked to preference (I usually cook 3 to 4 minutes per side), then let rest about 10 minutes on a serving plate.

* Sometimes I add 1/2 tsp dried onion and 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce as well for added flavor*
