Signature Backyard Burgers

Ingredients

· 2 lbs ground beef

· 1 egg (farm fresh if you have it)

· Brioche buns

· White American cheese slices

Instructions

· Bring the beef to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. This helps the burgers cook more evenly.

· In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, and Backyard Burger Blend. Mix with your hands until the seasoning and egg is evenly distributed.

· Divide into 6-8 equal portions and gently form into patties. Press a slight indentation into the center of each patty with your thumb to help them cook evenly.

· Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred doneness (we love them warm pink in the center).

· Add cheese during the last minute of cooking, if desired, and let it melt.

· Serve on toasted brioche buns with your favorite toppings.
