What is your favorite burger ? And no, I don't mean restaurant burgers, but rather kind you make at home and add your own touch to. What is inside the meat and on top of the meat ? or even under the meat ? what kind of meat(s) ? what is your favorite type of bun ?

A Nosey Female wants to know, and yes, I am not above stealing your ideas grin

Bighorn sheep is my favorite burger meat but obtaining it is an issue. Took me 27 years to draw a tag frown That being said elk/moose would be my next choice then beef.

I bought one of those plastic stuffed burger tools at Menards and putting cheese inside the burger is great. Bacon, onion, thin sliced dill pickle and Dukes mayo to top it off.

Equal parts ground pork, deer, and lean beef. Stuff with good cheese. Slice of sweet onion, German Johnson 'mater, and Duke's mayo. Maybe a strip or two of good bacon. Toasted sourdough bun.

My favorite burger is:

Have your butcher grind a whole brisket.

Make some UBER thin patties with it and add rub of choice. Montreal Steak, salt and pepper, whatever.

Grill them fuggers up and saute some onions to go with.

Throw onions on top and add a slice of swiss. Another patty, some more onion and a slice of swiss. Let it melt.

Put on bun. Add ketchup or mayo or mustard or WTF else you want. Toast the bun or don't.

Makes a wonderfully greasy mess of a burger.

Oh, and if you don't want to grill them you can fry the patties in bacon grease in a cast iron pan.

Pretty GD UBER.

My favorite are brisket burgers ground 80/20 from the trimmings. Season a 1/2 lb. patty with Lawry's and pepper on both sides. I cook them on a raised grid at 450-475* for about five minutes per side then add a slice of cheddar and provolone cheese the last two minutes. Place it on a toasted onion bun spread with mayo. Add red onion, leaf lettuce and garden tomato. No ketchup or mustard for this guy! Throw some chips or fries on the side and I'm good to go.

Good burger is all about the beef. Grind your own or get some ground at least 80/20.

Salt and pepper. Med rare.

I like a classic American style with pickles, catsup, mustard and mayo with some cheap azz, processed, non-dairy, cheese food Kraft singles.

Or a green chili cheese burger with a fried egg.

Put bacon on it, or don't.

I think that the burger has to be cooked just right. It's amazing to me, how easy it is to dry them suckers out if you ain't careful.

I really like putting some onion soup mix into the meat and mixing it up, along with some pickled jalapenos, or if in season, some fresh leeks. No onions needed if you put leeks in there!

Lettuce, mater, onion (red is as good as it gets), some mayo and some fresh cracked black pepper. I like cheese...just about any kind of cheese, but Wegman's has a Jalapeno/Cayenne Cheddar that is probably my favorite to put on there.

I don't do anything to burgers other than brush them lightly with oil, add some salt and pepper, and cook. Plain ground beef, no fillers, no other seasonings.

The older I get the more I seam to appreciate the less is more when it comes to food. Start with top notch ingredients, season just enough to compliment the quality ingredients and cook to perfection. You simply can't go wrong.

I'd just add, a good bun, thin sliced red onion and tomatoes, bit of mayo and ketchup and you have a good burger.

100% moose, add some bacon grease for fat, horseradish, an egg, breadcrumbs, some BBQ sauce, and parsley. I do mine on a Traeger.

I grind my moose 80/20 and that's the way I like beef too. Thick 3/4lb patty with salt, pepper and a bit of garlic powder. Grill it hot and fast till medium. Toasted hard roll with cheddar, bacon, fried onions, fried jalapeños, avacado and bbq sauce. It usually ends up so tall it won't stay together, and the juices soak the bun. One of those burgers that once I pick it up, I'm afraid to put it down.

We will be grilling them tonight. Our basic hamburger uses 15-20% fat ground beef, an egg, salt, pepper and a bit of garlic powder. Cook medium rare topped with Swiss cheese, serve on toasted buns with a bit of mayo, lettuce, thinly sliced tomato and red onion. We often switch it up though and add salsa to the meat, green chilies as a topping, etc. I'll do an Italian one that has egg, breadcrumbs, pesto, parsley, garlic, salt and pepper. Top it with provolone with a bit of mayo on
focaccia.

Grilled at home, they're all good. Grilled onions and jalapenos are one of my faves. No catsup or mustard, just mayo.

Some might consider it blasphemy but I really enjoy a not to thick burger with lots of cheese (pepperjack), onion, bacon, and a fried egg. Sometimes I will even fry up some lunch meat and throw that on there too. Kind of like a breakfast sandwich/burger combo in one. I love those things.

A close second would be a homemade juicy lucy though.

We had an EMS cookout and grilled up a bunch of burgers that were 85% ground chuck. Seasoned up the meat with salt n' pepper and some minced onions. Had plenty of mushrooms, caramelized onions, Swiss and sharp chedders slices, dill pickle slices, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, and Miracle Whip (for those who like it), tomatoes and lettuce. And for buns we used grilled cheese sandwiches...! One for the top bun and one for the bottom bun. It was a flippin' feast and those folks got their grub on...!

BTW, a really good sauce for burgers is made by mixing Tabasco Chipotle Sauce and mayonnaise.

When I make em' at home, I like to use big, freshly baked rolls from the bakery (cut em' in half with a bread knife) for the buns.


Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
