A bit of cayenne pepper gives these burgers a subtle kick of heat. If you're expecting kids, leave some of the meat unseasoned. And, if you know you have a hungry crowd coming, double the recipe. Phase 1 dieters can enjoy the burger without the bun. MAKE-AHEAD: Beef mixture can be formed into patties the morning of the party. Keep well wrapped and refrigerated until ready to cook.
