2. Dice tomato and cut thin slices of the red onion and set aside.
3. Get your grill/pan/etc hot.
4. Mix meat ingredients together. Divide meat into 8oz (1/2 lb) portions (or you can use smaller 6oz portions). Flatten into patties that are about 1/2 inch larger than the buns.
5. Put a thumbprint in the middle of the patty so it doesn’t puff up when cooking.
