1) Preheat propane grill 2) Take 80/20 ground beef mix in plenty of salt, onion powder and Worcestershire Sauce 3) After heavy kneading, shape desired number of patties; Small-medium thickness 4) Cover both sides generously with freshly ground black pepper, and sprinkle on very little garlic powder and paprika 5) Throw on grill 6) Once the patties have become somewhat structurally stable, flip them for the first time and pour beer over patties. (bitter beers are best for this. ie. Dinkle Acker-Germany) 7) Flip sparingly and add beer accordingly. 8) Toast Buns and melt cheese on patties before finishing 9) Serve and Enjoy! Ok, maybe this isn't the PERFECT burger, but I'm on a neverending quest for it. So please: Let's hear your version of the perfect burger

80-85% lean ground beef lightly tossed with salt in a bowl. Shape into 5 oz patties without squeezing the meat too much. Place patties onto med-high cast-iron griddle. Cook 4-5 minutes per side without touching them. Flip only once. Remove to plate, cover with foil and allow to rest for a couple of minutes while you prepare the bun. Add a slice of cheese to top of hot patty if desired. Lightly toast the inside of a bun, and spread mayo onto the bottom bun. Grind a bit of black pepper onto to the mayo and add patty. Top with whatever you like. Swiss, mushrooms, and not-crisp thick-cut bacon are my favorite. I also love plain ol' lettuce, tomato, and ketchup. Cholula is a good addition too. |

The turkey burgers at Tropicana Field are pretty good!! ETA - what also would make a burger better is cooking over charcoal, not gas. when I say cooking over charcoal, I'm talking about kingsford charcoal, started with an electric starter - not lighter fluid, I hate the taste of that shit. Even when you let the coals cook down for an hour, there is still a chemical taste (at least I can pick it up). |
Sweet!

Make your patties with Dave's Insanity Taco Sauce, Datil Pepper Hellish Relish and a packet of onion soup mix. Big half-pounders, none of that sissy 4 ounce shit. Get your offset smoker running at 225* with a good bed of lump charcoal and a couple chunks of mesquite. Cook your burgers low and slow for about an hour. Top with shredded cheddar and bacon. That is the perfect burger. |
w00t! |
Well. I just take the ground beef, add a little salt & pepper, and then add some of this to the beef before i grill. WARNING. This stuff is HOT, and the gas it makes when it cooks IS MACE. So when you flip the burger... DO NOT BREATHE the fumes. Yes. I am serious. I like my burgers this way. Some one bought me the sauce as a joke... but i really like it. |
