If you are like me, I like meat, but most of all - I like grilled meat. So, since it’s getting cold out I thought, ‘what better time to talk burgers.’ Yep, I said it – burgers. They are not just for the summertime, and definitely not fast food. Why not have them year round? If you can’t take the cold, inside burgers can still be good. But for those who dare to face the ice chill of winter for the best burger, I take my hat off to you.
To get started, lets talk meat. Get a good ground beef with about a 15% fat ratio, like ground chuck.
Now spices. I am a simple man when it comes to burgers. I just like kosher salt and black pepper and about half a medium onion. A burger is a good to experiment with so anything goes, but don’t over do it, I have tasted some bad burgers because the spices used did not go together.
Here is how I make my burgers:
In a bowl add meat.
Cut your onion in small dices.
Pinch of salt and pepper.
Mix all in the bowl.
Note: Do not over mix or they will get mealy.
Pop in a pan or on the grill and cook to however done you like it.
Use your favorite sauces and toppings and enjoy.
So laugh, love, and cook.
