BBQ Hamburgers and Salad


1.32 lb of ground chuck, or ground sirloin
1 chopped onion
1 egg
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1/4 t salt
1/4 t pepper
1/4 t basil
1/4 t rosemary

Place ground chuck in bowl, sprinkle spices over top. You don't have to measure exactly. Add the spices you like.
Mix the onion, egg, salt, pepper, in the food processor. Pour over the ground chuck. With a fork mix the wet ingredients into meat. Form into 2 inch snow balls, flatten them when you put them on the grill. I make this in the morning to get the flavors into the meat.

Hot tip. Use ground chuck, ground sirloin, or higher grade of meat ground up. I don't use ground beef anymore. Here is why. We were anchored out one day and Tom was cooking hamburgers on the BBQ. There was so much fat in hamburger we had a fire. Tom opened the lid of the BBQ and the flames shot under the Bimini. He put the lid down, turned off the gas and the sides of the BBQ, where going in and out. Never, never throw water on grease fires, it makes it flame up worse.

We have enough meat to make 2 hamburgers for tonight, with the rest of the meat I will make meatballs for another night.
