Hamburgers

This is a recipe that I saw on America's Test Kitchen then altered just a tad.

Grilled Hamburgers

For each 1 pound of hamburger mix the following:

1 slice bread (I prefer sourdough) -- crumbled into tiny pieces
2-3 tbsp. milk
2 tbs A-1 steak sauce
garlic powder
salt and pepper

Crumble the bread and add the milk, mix it until it forms a squishy paste.  Then add in steak sauce, and seasonings.  With your hands mix this mixture into the hamburger making sure it's mixed really well.  Make patties.

Cook on grill and enjoy!
