WFMW: Hearty Hamburgers

Yes, this is a Works for Me Wednesday idea. Yes, I know it technically isn't Wednesday. See, if I wait till Wednesday to post this....I'll forget. So, I'm posting this now, when I'm thinking of it and have the chance, and then I'll McLinky it over on We Are THAT Family on, gasp, Wednesday. I'm sneaky that way.

Simple, delicious, very filling, recipe for hamburgers. This recipe makes about 6 substantial hamburgers. If you need more, the recipe is very easy to double.

Ingredients:

One to one and a half pounds ground meat (beef or turkey, your choice)
Half a box of stuffing (unprepared, any flavor, save the other half for another time)
One egg

Preparations:

Preheat your grill, or preheat the broiler in your oven. Meanwhile, in a bowl, with your hands, mix together the ground meat, the half box of stuffing, and an egg.  Shape into patties about the size of your palm, and flatten slightly. This should make about 6 patties.

Cooking:

Grill, or, cook under the broiler in your oven. Broil a few inches from the heat. After 4-5 minutes, flip the burgers with a spatula. Broil another 4-5 minutes on the other side.

Use a spatula to move the burgers to a clean plate. Top with cheese, if desired. Serve on buns with your favorite toppings.

Wow, this sounds good. I'm always looking for new ways to use ground beef! And I'm all for anything that is this easy! Thanks!

Hmmm...left a comment the other day but it's not here. Just wanted to make sure you didn't think you were forgotten, LOL, so here I go again. This sounds absolutely delicious and I'm always happy to find a new way to use ground meat. Thanks!
