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
Well, Miss Lynn, I have come to the point where I don't much care for beef burger anymore. I mix my venison 80-20 venison to pork shoulder and then when I want to make burgers I add either a whole green chorizo or half of one per pound of burger meat depending on the heat level of the chorizo. Sometimes the chorizo has a lot of heat sometimes not. I think the serranos vary quite a bit, and can be more than I can handle. To make them a little more decadent add some Oaxaca cheese cut into small chunks.
If you have to eat beef, then it needs to be round, flank or brisket carefully trimmed and ground and then mixed with the pork and chorizo.
Well, finally back from camp and got photo bucket to work. Perhaps more about sketchy connectivity than the app itself but again I reiterate 100% Newfie Moose and some home made onion rings (well, OK, sharp cheddar!)
If something on the internet makes you angry the odds are you're being manipulated

Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
Some do, but I cook quite a few briskets so I keep the trimmings, weigh the fat/meat and grind it myself. I just use a Kitchen Aid mixer/grinder which works fine for trimmings, but you would burn it up on a whole brisket. A really good combo is a 50/50 mix of ground 80/20 beef and ground pork. You have to babysit them so they're not under cooked, but the results are pretty amazing.

Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.
I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.
Btw, mustard has to be grainy mustard. None of that prepared stuff. That's for foot longs at a ball game.

A chuck roast fresh ground twice..... make 6oz patties....using about three knuckles, make a depression in the middle (to 1/2 inch) to keep the burgers from puffing up when they are grilled...medium rare....before you take off the grill, top with scallions and sauteed mushrooms in garlic, butter and red wine....and provolone...lightly toast inside of buns and spread with just a little mayo.
