Pete’s Summer Sizzling Smokey Burger

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs of good quality ground beef
• 1/8 tspn onion salt
• 1/8 tsp garlic salt
• 1/8 tsp onion powder
• 1/8 tsp garlic powder
• ¾ tsp salt
• 4 – 6 dashes Worcestershire
• 1 Tspn Spanish Paprika (smokey) Vera (see photo)
• 1 egg
• Oregano 3 – 4 Tbsp – fresh finely chopped (chiffon ensure Oregano is nice and dry to avoid bruising)

(for 3 lbs, double the amounts)

Makes 12 quarter pound burgers if using 3 lbs of beef.

Make them bigger if you like, they shrink a bit.

I like to use Villagio or Italiano buns

Top with Smoked Gouda or Swiss cheese
