Beef burgers sound bland, however made with the right ground meat they can be just mouth watering good. I think simplicity is key. Be sure to buy good quality ground meat. Let the meat shine through.
Ingredients;
2 LBS ground beef, 80% lean. Fresh ground is best and if the butcher will do it for you a mix of chuck and the filet of beef is a great combo.
Toppings;
Sauteed sweet onions
Cheddar, Swiss or whatever you enjoy
Pickle slices
Cooked bacon
BBQ sauce
Avocado slices
Sliced fresh tomato
Roasted red peppers or hot cherry peppers
Brioche burger buns (most supermarkets and Aldi’s carry them)
Directions;
Have all the toppings you want cooked or ready to be used.
Divide the beef into 4 portions. Gently and I mean gently form the portions into flat even discs. This will leave the air in the meat. Pounding them into burgers just makes them tough.
I highly recommend you grill them on an open fire. Medium is best for being cooked enough but still have plenty of juice. You’ll have to take a peek the first time you grill to see how long your grill takes to cook them to perfection.
Place the cheese on top and the buns cut side down on the grill a few minutes before removing them from the grill.
Top with whatever pleases you and enjoy the mouth watering burgers.
**serve them with my baked beans, any of my salads and a slaw
