Gram’s Jazzy Burgers were Grandpa’s favorite Friday night meal.

Ingredients

2 slices bread, finely chopped
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 pound extra-lean ground beef
6 hamburger buns

Directions

1

Preheat broiler. Combine chopped bread, onion, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, horseradish, garlic powder and chili powder in large bowl until well blended. Gently blend ground beef into mixture. (Do not overwork.)
2

Shape beef mixture into 6 (3-inch) burgers. Place the burgers on ungreased baking sheet.
3

Broil the burgers about 4 inches from the heat until desired doneness, about 4 minutes on each side for medium. Serve on hamburger buns with lettuce and tomato, if desired.

Grandma's Secret Trick

Aunt Betty didn't eat red meat, so when she came over for lunch, Gram substituted ground turkey for the ground beef in her burgers. When broiling the turkey burgers, Gram always checked the inside of one to make sure it was cooked all the way through and had no pink color. She often topped the turkey burgers with a slice of Swiss or Cheddar cheese during the last few minutes of broiling.
