Ingredients you will need

Meat

Form into patties: Shape the meat into 3-4 patties, using about a quarter to a third of a pound per patty, creating a slight indentation at the centers of the patties (this will help keep the patties fairly flat when they cook, as the sides tend to contract more than the center).

Recommended wine: Malbec, Merlot, Zinfandel

Burger works really well with Malbec, Merlot, and Zinfandel. Merlot will be perfectly adequate for a classic burger with standard toppings. Bolder toppings call for bolder wines, such as a malbec or peppery zinfandel. The Alma de Los Andes Reserva Malbec with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.
