About six months ago we did some research at our house on where ground beef really comes from. To say the least, later that day we went to our local restaurant supply store and bought an electric meat grinder to make our own fresh ground hamburger. I have to say, after eating the real deal, we will never look back at buying the stuff in the store.
This is all great and wonderful, however we have found that it can be a challenge to grill these types of burgers as they like to fall apart on the grill. I'm sure someone out there has the secret to keeping these together. Some recipes that we have looked at recommend using eggs and breadcrumbs as a binder. This sounds more like meatloaf than good ole' fashion burgers.
We did try adding some water that we found on a Paula Deen recipe. They were very good and tender and juicy, but this made the problem worse.
Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks...
