How to Make Great American Volumetric Burger
- Combine 1/2 cup bulgur and 1/2 cup boiling water in a small bowl. Let stand for 30 minutes, or until water is absorbed and bulgur is tender.
- While the bulgur is soaking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium onion (finely chopped) and 1 teaspoon of sugar to the skillet.
- Sauté until the onion is lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar.
- Sauté for about 20 seconds, or until the vinegar evaporates. Remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cooked bulgur, onion mixture, 1 pound lean ground beef (90/10 recommended), 1/2 cup shredded carrot, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Gently mix all ingredients until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into four 3/4-inch thick patties.
- Lightly spray a grill rack or broiler pan with vegetable cooking spray.
- Grill or broil the burger patties for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
- Serve the burgers on buns with your favorite condiments. Enjoy!
