Here's the Beef...
Use organic local ground beef (I like 80% sirloin 20% fat).
Or, for an even healthier option use ground bison (very low in fat, and lower in cholesterol and calories yet higher in iron and protein than beef. Buffalo has less cholesterol than chicken with the skin removed and even most fish!)
Mix with Stonewall Kitchen Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce and a little salt and pepper to taste.
Don't manhandle the patties too much, the more air in them the better so handle as little as possible. Put a thumbprint in the middle to make more room for toppings and to make sure your patties don't turn into a ball (they get rounder as they cook).
Cook to medium with melted pepperjack (for a kick) or cheddar cheese and serve on a whole-wheat pita with avocado, sprouts, tomato slices, and fresh baby mesclun leaves for the best burger quite possibly ever tasted.
P.S. Maple Chipotle sauce is NOT organic but there isn't anything to iffy in it so don't be scared :)
Sauce is about $6 at Whole Foods

yum!
