Winning Burgers
Famous grill-master, Chef Ken of Hamburg NJ, taught me how to make a great, moist burger with organic, grass-fed, low-fat beef. The trick is rolled oats! The oats retain the moisture from the little bit of fat to create a juicy burger (often a difficult task with beef that's low in fat).
Makes 4 Burgers
4 Bageladies Bake'mmm Bagels, baked as directed
1 lb. organic beef
1/3 cup rolled oats
3 Tablespoons salso or tomato bruscetta
Using your hands, gently blend together the beef, oats and salsa or bruscetta. Be careful not to overwork the mix.
Divide into 4 equal portions and form into burgers. Set in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Remove burgers from refrigerator and coat top side with mustard.
Coat grill or pan surface with coconut oil or high-heat, non-stick release spray.
Place burger top-side down and set timer for 3 minutes (for medium-rare) -- adjust according to preference. Coat remaining side with mustard. Flip and grill for 3 minutes (for mediu-rare).
