Best Hamburger Recipe

Being the ultimate food lover I have experimented with many recipes, hamburgers in particular spike my interest. Hamburgers are the ultimate guilty pleasure and can be enjoyed by everyone. Hamburgers can be made from chicken, turkey, soy meat substitutes and in some burgers eggplant substitutes as your meat patty. The best hamburger recipe however, calls for either beef or pork.
