What you will need:
Burger-- Use 90/10 if you want good burgers. Use 80/20 if you want really good burgers.
Worcestershire sauce
A1 or your favorite steak sauce. (I only buy steak sauce for burger mix. The stuff is nasty on a steak.)
Salt/Pepper
Garlic Minced
--Make sure that your burger is nice and thawed out. Put it in a big mixing bowl.
--Add in about a couple of teaspoons of W sauce.
--Add A1 sauce. A little less than what you did for the W sauce.
--Salt and pepper to how you like it.
--Garlic is optional, but I like it. Usually about a clove or so. Garlic is one of those things though. A clove of garlic to one person is awesome... to the next it is way too over powering. So think about how you like garlic.
--Mix all of the stuff into the meat. Combine well.
--Make up your patties. I like big and thick, but not too thick. Huh?
Way too Thin.
Way too thick. Burgers...not meatballs
Now these are about right. Maybe even a little more flattened.
You can also put a spoon dent on the top of the patty and it will help hold the shape.
--I like to make the patties up and set them aside for a little while. Usually i put them in the fridge for a little bit. It seems to help them hold together a little better.
As far as grilling. Cook them the way you want to. I like mine a little less done, like a medium, but usually if you get the right burger they will still be super juicy and delicious even if they get cooked a little more.
When you put the burger on the grill... let it sit there for a while. If you try turn it or flip it too soon it will rip up your burger.
Top as you want to... I like American and Swiss on the burger. Bacon is always good. A butter toasted bun is a nice touch too. Get as crazy or simple as you want to...




Hey Drew,
ReplyDeleteI'm a friend of Jason and Leah's. I tried your burger recipe tonight. LOVED it! :D A question though... You never mention how much burger you are starting with when you add your ingredients. Are the measurements in this recipe assuming 1 lb of burger?
