Description:
With the warm weather approaching, it’s time to elevate your burger game! This recipe for Awesome Burgers might sound unconventional with rolled oats in the mix, but trust me, it’s a game-changer. Combining the oats with milk results in moist patties with a delightful texture that will leave your taste buds craving more. Inspired by a recipe from the cookbook “All Fired Up,” I’ve made a few tweaks to create the ultimate burger experience.

Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 onion
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tsp fresh ground pepper
Instructions:
-
Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the lean ground beef, finely diced onion, egg, rolled oats, milk, and fresh ground pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
-
Shape Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make a slight finger indentation in the middle of each patty, being careful not to over-handle the meat. This indentation helps the burgers cook evenly. You’ll know they’re ready when the indentation in the center is filled in.
-
Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
-
Grill Burgers: Place the patties on the preheated grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are no longer pink in the center.
-
Serve: Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the burgers from the grill and garnish as desired.

Tips:
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding your favorite seasonings or spices to the burger mixture. Garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, or a dash of hot sauce can take these burgers to the next level.
- Don’t skip the step of making an indentation in the center of each patty. This ensures even cooking and prevents the burgers from puffing up in the middle.
- Serve these Awesome Burgers with your favorite burger fixings like lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles, and condiments for a personalized touch.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can also cook these burgers on a stovetop grill pan or in a skillet over medium-high heat.
