This is a very tasty hamburger recipe, with lots of variations. Hamburgers are a favorite of both Canadians and Americans year round, but there is nothing quite like grilled hamburgers.
Combine the first 11 ingredients and mix well. (The egg and bread crumbs are optional. I like it with them because they allow the meat to stay together better). Shape into 4 very large patties or 5 smaller patties.
Place the patties on a grill over medium coals and grill 4-5 minutes on each side, or until desired degree of doneness. Top with cheese for the last minute of cooking.
Serve in buns with your favorite condiments and toppings.
