When I make a burger it's beautiful thing. You're getting fresh and awesome. I don't like processed foods, prepacked things, freezer meals, or soda pop. Why not just go out and get a burger? The local places have recently let me down. I just can't get into a burger in a restaurant when I can do some much better at home. Hugo's-- I'm calling you out. Your burger is whack. Your beef is thrown on the grill frozen.
I stopped off at my local Meat Market and ordered some fresh ground chuck. The perfect burger has fat in it. It's not a healthy snack. It's hamburger. I want mouth watering not any of that 97/3 lean bullshit. I ordered 65/35. and even snagged some of their in-house smoked bacon.
65/35 chuck separated into 1/4lb balls
Salt & Pepper for seasoning
Bacon (I like 2 strips per patty)
1 package Thomas brand English Muffins *nooks & crannies keep sauces off my shirt
1 cherokee purple tomato slices kept thick
3 alarm cheese sliced (habanero, jalapeno, & chipotle) colby jack.
Herb Greens or your favorite lettuce (just not iceburg )
Mustard
Chipotle Sour Cream Sauce
Caramelized onions my way:
1 stick unsalted sweet cream butter
2lbs sweet yellow onions
2 tea spoons salt
Chipotle sour cream sauce
2 tbls minced cilantro
1 C Sour Cream
1/4 C mayo
1 tbls fresh lime juice
1 seeded chipotle in adobo minced (more to taste)
just stir and combine. I could put this stuff on almost anything.
