Another way to help it hold together is to play "catch" with it to "pack the meat" better. BY that I mean make a ball and throw it from one hand to another several times, then when you fry it you can alos cover the pan which also cooks it from the top (softer burgers) but when you flip it, it is less likely to fall apart.
