can you edit your post? just put "oops - can mod delete this?"


it may or not be deleted. there are about a dozen active mods here. doesn't mean they will bother or not. this place is pretty peaceful other than the occasional arguments about burgers.

Well burger is a serious business ! 

Not at Five Guys.  Oh...SNAP!!    

So do you prefer home made hamburgers or hamburgers according to recipes of hospitality businesses?

A decent hamburger should at leas weigh 50 to 75 grammes and preferably weigh between 100 and 150 grammes of pure beefy goodness.

Burgers...

I've been making my own burgers all season. Ground beef or bison, caramalized onions, fried mushrooms (usually tossed in near the end with the onions), pepper, salt, a touch of cumin, a few flecks of miscellaneous herbs from the garden, maybe chopped up bacon, some breadcrumbs, egg, and some shredded zucchini.

Personally I've never been a fan of breadcrumbs and egg as binder in a burger.  Comes out too meatloafy for me and neuters the flavor of the meat a bit.  If I were to do it, I'd take the egg out and replace it with a fried egg on top with a runny yolk.  Probably yank out the zucchini and just grill a few strip and lay it under the burger over the bottom bun.  Grilling will bring out more of that zucchini flavor and keeping it whole brings a texture I like personally.  Maybe replace the shredded zucchini with carrots to keep the texture crunch if that's what you are after in the patty, plus it would add a little sweetness.  If you like cheese, try adding a slice of Sargento Muenster.

Woohoo.  All purpose thread!!
