Hamburgers, nice juicy succulent hamburgers

As you may already know, a hamburger (or simply a burger) is a sandwich that consists of a cooked patty made of ground meat and is generally served with various garnish or condiments like ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, onion, relish, pickles, and cheese toppings, placed inside a sliced Hamburger bun, often baked specially for this purpose, or pieces of bread, toast, or other stabilizers, i.e. lettuce. The meat patty is beef (even tho it's called HAMburger), unless otherwise noted.
Now, It's fair to say that over the years the hamburger as we know it has evolved, took artistic shapes and forms, was influenced by various cuisines and is available in both gourmet and junk forms.

Here's a nice recipe for super juicy hamburgers:

Spicy Blue Cheese Hamburgers

INGREDIENTS

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
• 1/2 cup minced onion
• 1/2 cup hot chicken wing sauce
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
• 4 hamburger buns, split

DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, blue cheese and onion. Season with Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and pepper. Mix well, using your hands if necessary. Form into four patties, and place on a plate. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Remove the hamburger patties from the refrigerator, and pour enough hot wing sauce over them to cover the top surface. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.
3. Place hamburgers on the hot grill, and cook for about 5 minutes per side, until no longer pink. The internal temperature should be at 180 degrees F (85 degrees C) if taken with a meat thermometer. For extra spicy burgers, baste with additional wing sauce while cooking. Serve on buns.
