lean hamburgers
We grind our own meats with out KitchenAid mixer attachment. We usually use eye of the round, with all visible fat removed. BUT, this lean cut, when ground and grilled, is like sawdust. So this is what I've devised. To make 4, 4 oz burgers (before grilling) I use about 14 ozs of meat, and I grind it with one medium onion, 8 prunes, and add a tbsp or so of Ranch dressing powder and about 2 Tbsp of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tsp liquid smoke. Mix all together well with some black pepper and form into 4 hamburgers. Usually I freeze til needed. There is minimal shrinkage so you pretty much end up with a 4 oz burger. I have one of those hinged metal hamburger presses so the size comes out uniform.
The onion and prune make them very moist. My daughter said, "Mom, when can we have hamburgers again? You're finally making good ones!"
I make my own whole grain/high fiber hamburger buns that taste buttery-delicious.
Don't let the prunes deter you. You can't tell they're in there and they don't cause any....uh..... gastrointestinal disturbances!
Reduced fat bleu cheese crumbles are a good topping, with a slice of crisp turkey bacon. Or mushroom and reduced fat Swiss.
