Juicy Burgers

So Corey was complaining that our hamburgers are too dry.  So I searched for ways to keep them juicy.  Since I have been eating healthier I started using a 93/7 ground beef.  I know that without the fat it will become drier.  I found this recipe at thekitchn.com.  We both liked them.  They were juicier with extra flavor added.  Corey, who usually only eats one burger actually ate two.

Juicy Burgers

1 pound beef
1/4 small onion, chopped
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
pepper
cheese (optional)

Form a log shape with your meat.  Make a well down the center of the log.  Sprinkle the onions down the center of the well.  Whisk the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and garlic powder.  Sprinkle over the onions.  Sprinkle pepper over sauce.  Close the well around the onions.  Divide into 4 portions.  Form into patties.  Rest about 20 minutes at room temperature.  Cook 5 to 6 minutes on each side.  In the last minute add cheese if desired.  Toast buns, top with favorite toppings and serve.

**Next time I think I will divide into portion sizes before making the well.  When I divided into portions, some of the onions fell out of the meat.  I think if I divide into portions first I can keep the onions more to the center and not lose them.
