 2 reviewsClassic Hamburger Recipe. We tend to forget how good a hamburger can be with so many fast food choices. This hamburger is made from a combination of ground chuck and sirloin. The ground chuck provides the fat needed for a juicy hamburger and the sirloin gives us the lean flavor of a steak.

Directions
- On a flat surface spread out the ground chuck and sirloin.
- Grate the onion evenly over the meat. You want grated onion and the juice to be spread evenly.

- Carefully combine the meat.
- Roughly form the hamburger patties. Be careful not to compress the meat too much as you will end up with a hard hamburger.
