The Burger Thread

zbigjeff that’s about right!

Joe Hell I understand. I am not sure what to say about that. We are getting so deep into some of this & loosing the simplicity. Plus, I just like to eat good stuff like what you produced. Its kind of like those deer horns, etc. I never could find a way to eat them, soup, or anything. Same with the pictures, but I sure would like to chomp down on that real burger. Pardon all the random ranting, that burger looks great!

calldoctoday Understood. I’m into recreating ‘cheap’ burgers. Fancy burgers are great but there is something about American cheese and ‘special’ sauce that is Americana on a bun
Joe Hell Absolutely. I just really like to keep them simple, pure good beef, lots of cheese, sauce or mayo & ketchup (Mustard only on dogs & brats) & a pickle or two. Don’t get me wrong, I have tried some fancy combinations, but I always go back to the simple one, I just like it.

House made bacon onion garlic burger patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles on a brioche bun. Take that Big Mac

Joe Hell Sounds and looks delicious.

mrobisr tasted great too!

ND Mike fine looking helper you’ve got there. Good looking burgers also. I had to fly solo on 15lbs with better burger seasoning.

cdavis so did you just use the Better Burger seasoning vs the Better Burger patty mix?
-
Tex_77 yes I did. It’s what I had on hand. Just got a hog butchered. Just had them grind it instead of making sausage. So I mixed 50 50 with some of my ground beef. It made excellent burgers.

cdavis thanks! That looks like a good way to do it too. I really like the better burger seasoning.

cdavis How do you like that burger press? I have two of them from years ago & they worked good & definitely consistent. But, I guess I got lazy & just went back to hand forming them as it seemed faster with less cleanup. The press made for more consistency, granted & less handling, by far. I like the idea you have of storing them in the freezer in a container, rather than a bag. That is a great & organized (neat) idea. I have been lazy on that too. Par freezing them, then just throwing them into a freezer bag & sucking the air out. Yours looks much better.

cdavis That’s also a great way of stretching the beef purchase.

calldoctoday it’s a great press and easy to clean but the best part is my kids love making burgers with it. One will form the balls the other runs the press then after so many they trade off. All I have to do is bag and vac seal. Sometimes I get behind.
-
zbigjeff it does stretch it out and great flavor too
-
bocephus we’ve tried several and the family likes better burger the best so far.
-
cdavis Absolutely. It’s really neat when you don’t tell them what you did different and they say: this is really good and different. Then, I tell them and their jaws drop. Keep having fun fooling people.
