This is an easy summer dinner that is certain to get you and the family closer together while you gather together and enjoy the weather and some good ol’ fashioned BBQ!

1 tbsp freshly chopped rosemary
1 tbsp freshly chopped chives

In a large bowl, knead the herbs into the ground beef until well combined. Add the lemon juice, breadcrumbs, egg and season with salt and black pepper. Mix well. Shape the mix into eight patties, round or rectangular.
