Pickle-Stuffed Hamburgers - (Dillgurken-Frikadellen)

Ditch the basic burgers and spice things up with these homemade pickle-stuffed burgers, aka dillgurken-frikadellen! They're savory and bursting with punchy dill. They'll be your new barbecue season fav!

Ingredients:

• 1 package lean ground beef
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon (14 milliliters) of olive oil
• 2 tablespoons (29 grams) ketchup
• 2 tablespoons (31 grams) mustard
• 2 teaspoons (11 grams) Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon (4 grams) Montreal steak spice
• salt and pepper to taste
• 10-12 shredded dill pickles

Instructions:

1. Prepare a baking tray or plate by covering it with parchment paper and set it aside.
2. Put ground beef in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
3. Add in egg, oil, ketchup, mustard, sauce, and seasonings. 
4. Using a cheese grater, shred dill pickles into a small bowl. Then add to the ground beef mixture.
5. Using your hands, mix all ingredients until everything is well incorporated.
6. Roll and form the patties. Each patty should be approximately 4-6 ounces (113-170 grams), about 4 inches in diameter. Set aside on a prepared baking sheet. The parchment will keep them from sticking.
7. Cook or grill for 10-15 minutes. Flipping halfway to get an even cook all the way through.
8. Serve on your choice of bun and top with extra pickles!

Notes/Hints:

• Before serving, grill your bun as well! This keeps it from going soggy from toppings. My dad taught me this trick.
• Add more or less pickle to your mixture. It's all up to preference.
• If you want an extra kick, add more Montreal steak spice. A little bit goes a long way with this stuff.
