This is David's favorite method for grilling burgers. 

Makes 4 burgers

1 large slice good white sandwich bread, crust removed, chopped into tiny pieces (about 1/2 C)

2 T whole milk

3/4 tsp salt (David uses less)

3/4 tsp black pepper 

1 medium garlic clove, minced or pressed 

2 tsp steak sauce (A-1)

1 1/2 pounds 80% lean ground chuck 

vegetable oil for cooking grate

Mash bread and milk in a large bowl with fork to make a paste.   Stir in remaining ingredients,  then ground beef and mix well (and gently) with your hands.  Form into 4 patties.  

Grill!!
