Alright, let's hear your burger recipes!
I like to use lean ground beef I make the patti thin, cause I've discovered a thick patti takes away from the taste of the sauces. I barbecue that mo-fo and throw on cattleboyz steak sauce.
Then I toast the bun (with garlic and butter), usually a kaiser, I add mayo, thousand islands, and relish. I put lettuce under the patti, then cheese, tomato and bacon on top of it.

Yours

Yes, I'm aware mayo and relish pretty well is thous isl.

i first put the idea together 2 weekends ago.

2. Mine is simple, but good.
Edited on Wed Sep-07-05 10:30 PM by WeRQ4U
91% lean ground beef or ground buffalo

Put meat into mixing bowl. Add Worthechershirechire sauce, chipotle tobasco and whatever BBQ sauce you like. I use a local brand "Clems" spicy. Add as much or as little as you like. I'm pretty generous. Rule number One. Proper grillers refrain from the use of any measuring devices whatsoever. Just pour it in.

When all of this is hand mixed together, add bread crumbs or oatmeal, just a little bit (handful maybe) and mix them in as well.

I usually add finely chopped garlic. Sometimes I add some diced white onion or green pepper. But not always.

Slice one tomato, one onion. Toast a bun with butter. Assemble sliced tomato, onions and whatever cheese you like, on the bun.

Rule number two. THIS IS IMPORTANT: DON'T BURN THE FUCKING BURGER. Only cook it until it is done, not overdone. And don't press down on it either, that presses all the good stuff out.

When it's done, enjoy.

10. Big time....
But if you are going for the lean thing, Egg Beaters will do the trick as well.....

It will keep them together and add a texture everyone will enjoy but won't be able to figure out....

I egg per 2lbs.... Just enough....

19. Egg works really well.
Mine are already so juicy and mushy from all the sauces that the oatmeal keeps it together without adding the egg. Although I have used one in the past.

13. Portabello burgers
sprinkled with a little bit of olive oil and Montreal steak seasoning, and grilled over open fire.

Put in Pita bread with provolone cheese, avocado, tomato and lettuce.

Add a wee bit of mayo and Dijon mustard.

Who needs meat after that?

14. I use lean ground beef
Edited on Thu Sep-08-05 12:51 AM by ironflange
I make the patties out of 100% beef, no eggs, bread crumbs, or anything gets added. Straight out of the package, just formed into balls, kneaded as little as possible. I plunk onto a big piece of wax paper, put another piece of wax paper on top, and flatten them to about 1/2". I cut the paper between the patties, makes it easier to work with. Grill until done, they hold together just fine. I just put a little Lawry's salt on them, Montreal spice on mine if I feel like it. We all like different stuff on them, son and mrs like swiss and mushrooms, I usually load it up. I use these big-ass burger buns from Sobey's, they're great.

HEyHEY: Mayo and relish makes tartar sauce, gotta add ketchup to make it 1000 islands.

17. Yes, they're here
What happened is that Sobey's owned a bunch of Garden Market IGA's here, and decided to switch all of them. There's one near me, 10 minute walk, 2 minute car ride away. Nice store, I really like it.

18. Rabrrrrrr's totally bitchin' hamburger recipe
I take the ground beef (or preferably, ground sirloin, or ground round - something in the 90% range; 95% is too lean to fucking work, and 80% is so low you might as well just piss in your bed and sleep in it), add some teriyaki, paprika, mustard, and blue cheese, and enough bread crumbs (or ritz crackers) to hold it together, and grill the motherfuckers on the grill.

Best when covered with thick-sliced bacon made by a local butcher so you know it isn't full of fucking chemicals, and a nice pile of Gruyere on top of that.

21. I'll put a little
bit of powdered ranch in there, along with salt, pepper, Worcester sauce, a dab of BBQ sauce, and then add some shredded cheese. Mix it up. Make into patties. Poke a small hole on top of patties so they don't shrink on grill (use finger tip). Start grilling. Add sliced cheese at last minute. Toast buns. Add condiments. Yummy!!

23. Here's mine
1/3 lb of Organic Sirloin Beef

1 Sprouted wheat bun

Romaine lettuce, onions tomato, and a slice of Monterey Jack cheese.

Grill the burger over hickory. Add nothing to season. While it's grilling, also gril the onions so theye tender.

Add the cheese during the last 5 min or so so it melts.

Put it together. Serve. Enjoy.

25. Garlic
Lots of garlic. With chopped onions, a little pepper and salt, and ground beef all mixed together and made into patties.

Throw them on the George Foreman or outdoor grill, top w/ swiss cheese and toasted texas toast, and eat!

29. OK, I may be boring, but I don't like to mess with the good taste of beef
I use regular ground beef, salt and pepper. Grill it over high heat on a Weber Grill with the top on. Perfect. My favorite summertime meal.

31. best burgers ever
Ingredients-

1 pound of lean ground chuck
half cup Vidalia onion
Half cup green peppers
2 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
one egg
2 cups Italian Breadcrums

Take a nice lean pound of ground chuck, add two cups of Italian breadcrums, one egg, a half cup of finely diced green peppers, a half cup of finely diced Vidalia onion, add two tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce.

Mix ingredients in bowl with a wooden spoon, get distracted by the cat and spill some of the mixture on the floor at your feet. No problem you just washed the floor... er... in February of 2002. Pluck cat hair and grit from spilled meat and return to bowl. The onion juice will cause a massive sneezing fit, and since your hands are slicked with oily mixture residue and stuck bits of cat hair, plus your eyes are watering like crazy from the damn onions, it's impossible to get a paper towel off the holder.

Knock the bowl of meat mixture onto the floor (and over your bare feet, which, like the floor, you probably haven't washed since 2002). Fight off the cats scrambling to small bits of the meat that roll off the larger clump encrusting your feet.

Begin cursing God in all his glory for punishing original sin by afflicting you with an alergy to cats.

Slip on the meat as your bend over to clean up the mess, while complaining that you just waisted eleven bucks worth of ingredients. Bang head on counter on the way down.

Take the meat mixture and bowl and throw it all in the trash. Attempt to kick the cats but your greasy feet will be so slippery that any movement causes spontaneous defiance of gravity.

Crawl to phone. Call for pizza.

Feeds 4 adults.

33. We have a place one town over
which is famous for it's Goober Burgers. Sounds gross but not bad. Instead of the tired old ketchup and mustard they put a mix of peanut butter and mayo on the burger.
They've featured it on Food Network and Travel Channel. Both times the host was hesitant to try it but once they did they said that they would make it at home. They really liked it.

36. Oh heck, I'll jump in
Ground beef of your choice
Lawry's Seasoned Salt to taste
Onion powder to taste
Worcestershire sauce (***Lea & Perrins***)to taste

Knead all ingredients together. Make patties and let them chill for at least 30 minutes. They will hold up without adding eggs if you do this.

37. The ultimate burger recipe
Ha! I lied. I'm sure there is one much better.
Regardless... this is what I do
Take good ground beef, add dried mustard, ceasar salad croutons, a couple of eggs. Mush together. Add garlic and fresh chopped onions. If you like for moisture, a few squirts of HP or Worchester sauce.. cover and leave overnight in fridge. Next day, take hamburger mixture and mix again. Then make into patties. Barbeque. With good cheese on top. It is to die for. Also, for buns, use scotch baps. They are the best.
