Djgb13 2,338 Posted May 25, 2019 Anyone got a good recipe for a burger? I want to try different ways to make them today. Examples would include buying different percentages like 80% 20% fat, use special types of seasonings to mix into the burger, put an ice cube in the middle of it and make it into a patty, etc Doing some brats along with the burgers but I got those covered. Just looking for something different to make the burgers taste better than just turning the meat into a patty and throwing it on the grill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5-Points 3,071 Posted May 25, 2019 Mix in a little sausage with the GB. Adds fat and flavor. For a healthier burger use ground bison. Very lean but still tasty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bier Meister 1,575 Posted May 25, 2019 dice onion, mince mushrooms, dice bacon. crisp bacon. remove and set aside. use bacon fat to saute the onions and mushrooms. let cool a little and mix in with burger meat. add whatever seasonings and rubs you like.

Bier Meister 1,575 Posted May 25, 2019 mix in bbq sauce and shredded gouda mix in teriyaki and crushed pineapple (or, you are better off grilling large slices or rings and putting them on top) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,727 Posted May 25, 2019 the secret is to brine your ground beef. Using standard brine recipe and then throw the beef in there. Let it sit for at least an hour. Delish! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted May 25, 2019 Anyone add like a little slice of butter to the middle? Or mix the butter with the meat then form it into patties? Wondering if that turns out any good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the s is ilent 69 Posted May 25, 2019 Add just enough milk to the ground beef to make a good patty. Makes a juicy burger. The golf course grill keeps a crock pot of burgers simmering in au jus next to a burger bar. Defies good burger logic but those fockers are delicious.

Djgb13 2,338 Posted May 28, 2019 Did some up this weekend. Tried the slice of butter in the middle. Definitely made it juicy. Mixed in some mustard powder, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Also did some brats with sautéed peppers and onions I did in the bacon grease from cooking bacon for the burgers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NorthernVike 2,082 Posted May 28, 2019 80/20 smash burgers on the flattop. Season with steak and chop seasoning. Onion fried in bacon grease on burger, cheese on top of that to hold it in place. Lettuce, tomato, mayo and pickle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,993 Posted May 28, 2019 Just like I'm not a fan of the tricked up steak, not a fan of the tricked up burger. I love avocado, mushrooms, gruyere, fontina, arugula, fried egg, Sriracha, etc.... as much as anyone else - just not on my burger. Give me lettuce, onion, pickle, mustard, salt, pepper and good old fashion American cheese - I'm a happy camper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wife like pepper jack and the boys like cheddar. If you really want something different, get whole portabella mushrooms. Marinate in olive oil, red wine and garlic. Grill it as you would a burger, top with mozzarella cheese and serve it with tomato and mayo on a bun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the mushrooms ive had kinda like that before except I didn’t do a bun. Did the portabella, tomato slice, olive oil, Italian seasoning, slice of mozzarella, and baked it. Was delicious. Will definitely have to try it like you suggested cause I love portabella mushrooms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

listen2me 23 1,684 Posted May 29, 2019 Burgers are pretty versatile. I like a fairly classic mustard lettuce tomato cheese. Bacon swiss with carmelized onions. Blue Cheese or a good BBQ sauce. Sometimes ill throw a couple onion rings under the cheese. Almost anything besides Mayo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,727 Posted May 29, 2019 The key is to use a standard squirt bottle filled with mayonnaise. Squirt the mayo inside the burger roughly three-quarters of the way through the cooking process. Then when your wife, girlfriend and or insignificant other squeezes the burger and bites into it, a huge wad of steaming mayo shoots out all over her face , chin, and breasticles.
