what's your favorite hamburger recipe?

Question

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 possible

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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—use 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.

Answer 3

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

Answer 5

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!

Answer 6

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 & 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.

Answer 7

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.

Answer 8

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.

Answer 9

Flame grilled from Burger King
