2    pounds ground round or sirloin

1    packet dry onion soup mix

2    medium eggs, slightly beaten

8    slices American cheese

8    hamburger buns

      Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

      Condiments and dressings

 

Preheat outdoor grill for medium high heat.  Lightly oil grate!  Combine beef, soup mix and eggs in a large bowl. (You can add just about any anything to the meat before cooking except salt.  Salt extracts moisture.)  Divide seasoned patties into

8 equal balls.  Flatten each ball into a thick patty.  Press a large shallow dent into the center of each patty using a wooden spoon.  The dent in the center helps the patty keep its shape.  Grill patties for 10 to 20 minutes or until desired doneness, Remove from heat!  Salt and pepper to taste and place slice of cheese on.  Serve on buns with condiments and dressings. 

Yield:  8 servings.
