1. Lightly oil grill& heat BBQ to medium.
2. Whisk egg in a bowl& add next 6 ingredients.
3. Add any of the "stir-ins" that appeal to you.
4. Crumble in beef& using your hands or a fork, gently mix together.
5. Handle the meat as little as possible - the more you work it, the tougher it gets.
6. Gently shape (don't firmly press) mixture into burgers about 3/4 inch thick.
7. Using your thumb, make a shallow depression in the centre of each burger to prevent puffing up during cooking.
8. Place burgers on the grill, close lid& BBQ until NO LONGER PINK INSIDE, turning once, about 6 - 8 minutes per side.
9. An instant read thermometer should read 160F.
10. Don't abuse your burgers by pressing with a spatula, pricking with a fork or turning frequently as precious juices will be lost!
11. Tuck into a warm crusty bun& add your favourite toppings.
