Fireworks Burgers
Serves 4
Sure, you could buy frozen hamburger patties for the gang and call it a day. But for a holiday, spoil your friends and family with these all-beef patties. They’re as far from supermarket-ordinary as you can get and loaded with bold flavors—Worcestershire, onion, garlic, herbs. Make them at home several hours to a day before your Fourth of July cookout.

1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup shredded Colby or Monterey Jack cheese
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
1 (1-ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
A few cranks of black pepper from a pepper mill

1) Preheat a grill.
2) In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion, cheese, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, egg, onion soup mix, minced garlic, garlic powder, parsley, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Shape beef mixture into 4 patties.
3) Place patties on the grill and grill 3 minutes per side for medium-rare or 5 minutes per side for well-done. Resist the urge to flatten the patties with a spatula, as this will force the precious juices out of the meat and into the grill.
4) Serve on buns with your favorite condiments.
