Ingredients:
1 slice good quality bread (Texas toast)
2 1/2 lb. lean ground beef
1 c. stout
1 egg
1/4 medium yellow onion, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 Tbsp. ketchup
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp. hot sauce
1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground pepper

Directions:
Make bread crumbs by putting bread into food processor.  Pulse until fine.

Add breadcrumbs to a large mixing bowl and add all ingredients, mixing until evenly incorporated.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight to allow meat to fully absorb the beer and the other flavors.

Divide mixture into 4 (6 oz. each) balls (the size depends on the size of buns being used).  Squish each ball down to 1 inch thick.  Patties will see a bit on the soft side.

Place patties on a preheated grill (medium-high).

Cook on each side for 4-5 minutes before flipping.  Total cooking time should be 8-10 minutes.
