What's your favorite hamburger recipe?

I'd like to make me some hamburgers for dinner tonight. I'm looking for some original suggestions for the ultimate burger. So what's your killer recipe?





Preferably nothing classic original tasty recipes using as many fresh ingredients as possibleWhat's your favorite hamburger recipe?
So you don't want anything classic??





If I were to make burgers right now this is what I would do:





1 lb beef


1/2 small onion, diced


1 tsp garlic powder


1 TB woresteshire sauce


2 slices bacon, cut into little pieces


1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled


salt and pepper





Combine all ingredients, form into patties, indenting a tiny bit in the center of each patty. Grill on a really high heat, prefferably one with a big flame to really broil the outside..





Top with bib lettuce, a slice of cooked bacon, tomatoe, and red onion, dijon mustard.What's your favorite hamburger recipe?
I've added Liptons Onion Soup mix to the ground beef before making them into hamburger paddies. Thats real good but also high in salt so watch. Other variations are adding BBQ sauce with chopped onions to the meat. Anything is possible.
Here is a great burger...The cream is the secret.


2 pounds chopped beef chuck or round


1 onion


1 tablespoon heavy cream


Freshly ground black pepper


Unsalted butter


Vegetable oil, as needed


Kosher salt, to taste








Spread the meat out on a board and grate 2 to 3 tablespoons of onion into it鈥攗se a fairly fine grater so you get just the juice and very finely grated raw onion. Now mix in about a tablespoon of heavy cream and some freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Form into patties--a 6 to 8-ounce patty for an average serving.


Using a black iron skillet or your best copper one or your pet aluminum frying pan, Teflon-coated or not (with a Teflon coating you won't need much fat, just a little bit for flavor), and cook the hamburgers in the butter and oil over fairly high heat, giving it 4 to 5 minutes a side, depending on how well done you like it. Salt this creamy, oniony, peppery hamburger before serving it on a buttered bun or English muffin, or as a main course with sliced tomatoes and onions or some home-fried potatoes.

Cook for five minutes on each side


Place on a bun with Tomato Sauce on the top bun

It is my ex's creation and we didn't name it, but I guess it is a teriyaki burger and it may sound gross but some time you should definitely try it.


Preheat your broiler


Season your meat as you would for the pit, salt %26amp; pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, whatever you want.


Place the patties in a baking pan.


Baking pan and it should be about an inch deep.


in a bowl mix about 1 c. teriyaki sauce, 1/4 c.your favorite


bar-b-que sauce, and honey if desired. pour over patties and bake to desired wellnes. A few minutes before done add sliced provolone, swiss, jack or mozzarella cheese and serve on a toasted whole wheat bun. You can add sliced avocado, grilled mushrooms, peppers, or pickles onions toms.


* You could sub. turkey for beef with this recipe.
1 lb minced steak


2 med onions (finely chopped)


2 eggs


1 glass of red wine


pinch of mixed herbs


freshly milled black pepper





mix everything together, form into nice thick burgers and grill until cooked
I Like the 'Gangsta Burger'. You take 1/2 lb. hamburger meat and 1/2 lb. deer sausage, add chopped red and green bell peppers and grill. The deer sausage adds the spices for you.


Or you can go with Turkey Burgers. Ground turkey an egg, worchestershire, liquid smoke, lemon pepper, onion, garlic. You can use the same recipe with hamburger meat but add my secret ingredient (cinnamon) just a pinch. It really DOES something to beef (any kind). And bell peppers are ALWAYS good.

I like stuffed taco burgers!





1 packet of Taco meat seasoning per 1# ground beef


mince some onion, bell pepper, garlic . mix all of this together with a few tablespoons of water per packet





grate some cheese - I like sharp cheddar


Make two thin patties; put a small ball of cheese in the middle of one and then put the other patty on top. pinch the edges together so the cheese stays inside.


grill or fry.


any or all of these to top it off:


onion


tomato


lettuce


avocado slices or guacamole


salsa


cheddar, jalpeno jack, or any cheese


sour cream





don't forget the seasoned fries!


2parts salt


1part each paprika, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and cayenne pepper


mix well (adjust to your tastes, of course)


slice up some fresh potatoes; toss them in some olive oil and 1/2 the seasoning salt you just made


pop in 400 degree oven for about 30 minutes, give or take


sprinkle on some more of that seas salt and enjoy with the burgers


Don't forget the beer!
Minced beef


1 x Green chilli


1/2 an onion


1/2 teaspoon chilli powder or cayenne pepper





Put the beef in a blender and blitz for a few seconds, so that some of the meat is pureed, some not. This will stop the burger falling apart





Put the beef in a bowl





Thinly slice the chilli and the onion, and powder and add to the mix. Stir in well.





Make balls of the mix in your hands (a little flour stops it sticking to your hands) then squash to make a burger shape.





Either grill, griddle or BBQ to your taste, Serve in a sesame seed bun with cheese and burger relish, maybe a rasher of bacon.





Enjoy
