Cheesesandwiches aside, how about those cheeseburgers!!!

[the ringo kid]

I read another article awhile ago this afternoon. It had about 50 different ideas for diff Cheesburgers. Most sounded great, some did not. Im thinking these too mighta been written by someone from--Cali? Dunno? but anyway, here's more.

First off, I do not recall (not unusual if I had) but, I dont remember anyone mentioning the addition of a pat of butter in the center (slightly hollowed out patty) when cooking it. Sounds interesting. They suggest using 80/20-t0-85/15 lean to fat meat for the taste-which makes sense. Ill see if I can add any images:, if not? then ya'll'll just have to imagine what im yammering about this time. Just found out no can do on images...

Kurusu might like this next part-as its suggested to use Portuguese Brioche bread rolls. Me nya-ill go traditional. Ive never made a "Juicy Lucy" but are mighty tempted to. For those who are unaware of what one is? a "Juicy Lucy" is a cheese-stuffed burger and cooked that way. The cheese seeps out when bitten in to-like lava pouring out of a beef volcano.

One suggestion is to flavor it with Fish Sauce?? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best method of cooking is in a cast iron skillet instead of on a BBQ grill where it can be over-cooked and come out dry. You CAN cook with the cast iron on the pit to get the best from both worlds tho.

Add Candied bacon: Just sprinkle brown sugar on the bacon. Id try that.

Add crispy onion rings on the burger-which is something I do-only I dont cook my own-I buy them made at Whataburger as they are the bomb there.

You can flavor with beer (no) whiskey (yes) red wine (maybe?) cognac (yes) and other things.

You likely know of the fried egg on top of the patty thing? Well, cook it inside the meat-or so this article says. The yolk and the white is runny. Nope I can do runny yolk, but not runny white part.

Pine nuts and feta cheese?!?!, they oughta be shot for mentioning that!------------

"Diner" style means- "Buttery beef patties sandwiched with melted cheese and caramelized onions between buttered slices of bread. That's more to my liking.

Something maybe none of us ever thought to ever do to a soon to be ham or cheeseburger-. Finely ground coffee beans mixed with garlic powder, kosher salt, coarsely ground pepper, and dark brown sugar.

Put Kimchi on it? no-not my taste-maybe for those who liked it who served in Korea. Sarge Bill would love it though. So would Pepe Le Pew.

Eggs Benedict Burger. Id try that.

Jalapeno Poppers wrapped in bacon on top of patty-id also do that.

I wouldnt do a Nacho burger though I love nachos. Putting corn tortillia chips on a burger is insane.

Though I love Figs, I wouldnt add them to a burger-especially if the choice of cheese was goat cheese.

A Reuben burger? Nope.

Trying one using BBQ sauce mixed with Mayo? why not? Im game.

Bacon wrapped burgers meat stuffed with Mozzarella Cheese--Id do....

Meat topped with deep fried mac and cheese-NEVER!!

Adding grilled pineapple slices on the meat/ possibly? Id have to cook them in something to change the taste some.

Peanut butter?????? w/ bacon and cheese. I guess Elvis only knows about that one. This one mentioned nothing about sliced bananas.

Top the melted cheese with pepperoni? maybe?

Fried ramen noodles as the buns? nope..............

Shrimp with Caesar dressing----NO!!!!

Anyway, here are some suggestions I read about.

Don't remember where I learned about it,but buffalo burger is pretty lean and a pat of butter n the center of the pattie will keep it from drying out on the bbq.I could live on cheeseburgers ;-)

 

[joeintexas]

Some of those I have tried, not too bad. Just reading a couple of these aloud made my dog get sick. And I don't feel so good myself.

I thought about posting in this thread but decided against it.

Burger fried on a steel griddle in its own fat
with white onions grilled in the fat as well.
Place on a Kaiser roll and let people add
ketchup, mustard and kosher pickles to
their liking.

And what do you have: A Billy Goat burger

in Chicago.

Best to have a double burger but any cheese
is definitely optional with apology to John
Belushi.

The article did mention Bison as well as Turkey but, I skipped those but would still try both-especially the Bison ) I tried Bison Jerky-and its expensive to say the least. I love its sweetness.

Burgers made with Ground Chuck is the way to go, yup plenty of fat.

Thick slice of onion, ketchup and sour pickle slices.

Now and then I slap onion rings on the burger instead of raw onion.

Onion rings live in my freezer and are always available.

 

[moosedog]

One of the most important ingredients of a great burger is the beer.

I like my burger with grilled onions, swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, mustard and ketchup.

 

[UncleEd]

OK, another take:

Grilled burger with grilled
onions and mustard
on a steamed bun.

Make that a dozen.

And what do you have:

A midnight snack at Krystals
in Atlanta.

One ill not ever do-is mushrooms (aka) rubber--on a burger.

Speaking of beer-look for a thread on that.

Almost forgot, I cook mine on a cast iron griddle.

So, one of the most important thing I get to do is toast the bun.

I'm getting ready to make one in about a half hour.

No one hungry?

I know of at least three people are. They be: Me, Myself and I.

I wonder if Mustard-like Mayo-is egg-based?

Wife just made a salad for dinner, so this thread sounds really good right now.

I like mine with Heinz 57, 2 slices of American cheese, bread and butter pickles and an onion slice. Bun needs to be grilled or toasted.

 

[UncleEd]

Time for a change of pace:

Two Chicago dogs loaded with
mustard, onions, dark green
relish, hot pepper, tomatoes
and a generous slice of Kosher
pickle.

Might as well have a side of
fries with Wisconsin cheddar
cheese, thick sour cream and
a fistful of bacon bits.

And what do you have:

Paradise Pup in Des Plaines, Il.
Go in the winter so you can
clear snow from a picnic table
while dining al fresco.

Hickory smoked bison burgers sprinkled with rubbed sage.

 

[Rustyt1953]

Like beer, I don't think I've encountered a burger I couldn't finish.

PS: I've been to Billy Goat Tavern twice. It's a bucket list item.

There is a fine line between just right and overcooked and dry with bison when cookin' on a grill.
I keep the temperature on my grill around 250 degrees and add some hickory to give it some smokiness.

Hopefully when all is said and done down here? I know its not too terribly expensive to fly though?
