How To Make burgers on the grill - ten ways

• 1

  Preheat your grill on high heat and oil the grate. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper. Place ground beef and bread crumbs into the mixture, and with your hands or a fork, mix until well blended. Form into eight patties, each about 3/4-inch thick. Place the patties on the grill and cook 7 to 9 minutes per side, or however long you desire.

Note: Hawaii is the biggest consumer of spam in the country. Why not add a grilled slice to this burger, or leave out the burger all together and just use the Spam!
