Usage notes

• 1 tablespoon dry mix
• few drops liquid smoke (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Maggi (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 500 g ground beef (1 lb)

In a medium-sized bowl, mix everything from the dry mix down to and including the Worcestershire sauce to make a paste.

Add the ground beef and mix the paste in. Handle only enough to mix or you may make your burger patties tough.

To prevent burger patties bunching up too high during cooking, make a deep imprint in centre of patty with your thumb.

Any Maggi fan might tell you that the real secret to this whole mix is the Maggi, but if you don’t have Maggi on hand, don’t hang yourself: just use an extra teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.
