Your Favorite Burger

Recommended Posts

We're having Round#1 of "We're sick of winter" parties at my parents ... Which means its Burgers & punches. (Round 2 is Latin Food & Virgin Margaritas).

So I'm schlepping to the store with everyone's lists of ingredients for their burgers this year, which means I'm collecting emails with ingredient listings.

Beef, Bison, Lamb, Turkey, Chicken, & Portobello mushrooms are all on my list.

Sadly, the game store is late on their shipment of wallabies, so no wallaby burgers this time.

No one makes their burgers in the same way.

How bout y'all?

How do you make yours?

I do a couple different ones, but this smorgasburger I'm doing turkey.

Ground turkey

Ground turkey skin

Olive oil

Santa Maria Seasoning (essentially garlic, salt, & pepper)

Smash all together in a ziplock bag and let sit for awhile.

Then patty up.

Served on a kaiser roll with

Tomato Jam

Tomato

Purple onion

Spinach

Avocado

Cheese, bacon, and hamburger...and a little bit of ranch (or mustard, ketchup, and mayo). No lettuce, no tomatoes, no onions (no matter the color), and especially NO MUSHROOMS. Mushrooms don't belong on anything, especially hamburgers! :P

My favorite burger is actually a veggie burger with mushrooms from a little diner in LA called Fred 62. It's slightly spicy and it's amazing.

If it's a meat burger it's just good old fashion 96% lean beef. With a whole wheat bun and ketcup and corses dijon mustard and it just smashed and cooked on a black iron skillet.

We buy whole raw turkey (like they sell for Thanksgiving dinner. Slice off all the meat - white and dark - run it through the Ninja to grind, make it into quarter-pound patties and put on the grill brushed with coconut oil. No seasoning. Just turkey.

Put it ion a sesame seed bun topped with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and ketchup. That's it.

You all are making me hungry and I haven't had dinner. Since it's just me..I decided to have a hamburger patty with cheese and some grilled onions. :)

Oh and some steamed mixed vegetables on the side.

If I'm going out to say, Red Robin, I love a bacon guac burger.

At home, I like my burgers built exactly like this:

top bun

ketchup

mayonnaise

garden tomato (in order, these three make a kind of sauce)

(onion if I'm feeling sassy)

cheddar

burger (seasoned with Kirkland brand steak season blend)

kosher dill pickle

mustard

bottom bun

Yummy. Now I want a burger!

Is it just me or is there something about having egg yoke running through you fingers while your trying to stuff a hamburger into you mouth that makes the whole event all that more enjoyable.

Any time you have to lick your fingers off while eating is a good thing!

Egg yolk on sarnies

Carolina BBQ Ribs

Kalbi short ribs

Biscuits and Gravy

Buffalo wings

Pie

Boston Creme Donuts

Hmmm.... Apparently licking your fingers off should also be a trigger for heading to the gym.

I'm a plain Jane when it comes to burgers. I happen to like most inexpensive fast food cheeseburgers like McDonalds, Wendys, or Burger King.

When it comes to homemade burgers, this is what I like:

Mayo, ketchup, and mustard on both top and bottom buns.

Beef hamburger patty with cheddar cheese on the top.

Tomato and lettuce.

If I'm in the mood I might put on a dill pickle or two. But, that is rare.
