Bacon In The Burger Smoky Gouda And Spicy Bbq Mayo Recipes

GOUDA GARLIC BACON BURGER STACK

Steps:

• Split buns and brush butter on both halves; lay flat on a hot griddle (about 350 degrees F). Heat until buns are just light golden brown and have a nice crispy edge, 4 to 6 minutes. (A well-buttered and griddled bun gives you great flavor and a crispy crunch, and also acts as a seal to keep the burger juices and other sauces from making the bun soggy.)
• Preheat a broiler. Form beef into four 8-ounce 3/4-inch-thick patties. Sprinkle beef patties with Burger Shake (1/2 ounce each) and place in broiler to cook, about 4 minutes. Flip the patties over and sprinkle with more Burger Shake (another 1/2 ounce each, or to taste).
• Place the roasted garlic cloves on top of the patties along with the bacon strips and top with 2 slices of Gouda per patty. Cook until Gouda is fully melted and enrobes the garlic and bacon and patties are pink inside, another 4 minutes.
• Smear both halves of buns with Caesar Dressing.
• Place finished patties on bottom buns and top with onions and tomatoes.
• Add three pickle chips to each patty and drizzle barbecue sauce over the entire burger.
• Throw on your top buns and be sure to use burger picks to keep everything in place.
• Prepare for a delicious but drippy delight.
• Combine salt, pepper, garlic and oregano in a bowl and mix for a great all-purpose seasoning. We use it for eggs, meat, vegetables and more.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Slice the tops off of the garlic bulbs and spread olive oil over the cut portion of the bulbs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap in foil. Roast until tender and squeeze-outable, about 50 minutes.
• Combine mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, olive oil and Worcestershire in a large bowl and whisk until ingredients are thoroughly integrated. Then whisk in Pecorino-Romano, oregano, garlic, anchovy paste, salt and pepper.

BIG SMOKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat.
• Combine ground sirloin, onion, grill seasoning, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, adobo sauce, and chipotle pepper in a large bowl. Form the mixture into 6 patties. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place burgers on preheated grill and cook until no longer pink in the center. Place a slice of Cheddar cheese on top of each burger one minute before they are ready. Place burgers on buns to serve.

BACON IN THE BURGER, SMOKY GOUDA AND SPICY BBQ MAYO

Steps:

• Sauce -- Simply mix in a small bowl or measuring cup, the BBQ sauce, mayo, honey and chipolte, refrigerate - Done!
• Burgers -- Now, I like to use the food processor if you have one. First for the breadcrumbs, next the onion, and then the bacon. But if you don't have one, you can hand chop or grate the ingredients. Use what you have. They still turn out great.
• Bread Crumbs - 1 slice of whole wheat or any bread you have on hand. It will be approximately 1/2 cup. Either pulse in the food processor or fine chop.
• Onions - 1 small onion. You can grate it by hand. Or use the food processor. It should be about 1/2 cup.
• Bacon - Freeze. If you freeze the bacon it is so much easier to work with. NOT rock hard, just 15-20 minutes is all. Dice the bacon as fine as you can. Or you can use the food processor.
• Burger -- Mix the bread crumbs, onions, worcestershire, BBQ sauce, and grill seasoning until well combined. Then add in the bacon, ground beef and turkey, and mix lightly. Don't over mix. Form 6 patties and set on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (wax paper or foil) and just freeze; my trick for 10-15 minutes. It just firms them up quickly and makes them easier to cook.
• Cooking -- I like to use my grill pan, but you can use a saute pan as well. Bring to medium high heat add your burgers. They will take about 6-8 minutes on the first side, then flip and cook about 5 more minutes. You want to completely cook them because of the bacon. Top with the smoky gouda, remove from the heat and cover. The heat from the pan will melt the cheese in just a couple of minutes.
• Onions -- As the burgers cook, start the onions. In a small saute pan, add the butter, honey, onions, adobo sauce, salt and pepper, and cook on medium high heat. They will take about 8-10 minutes until tender. Just stir now and then and you can reduce to medium after they have cooked a couple of minutes. Just let them simmer until tender.
• Serving -- Rolls, now I like to toast mine, but that is personal taste - you can if you want. Spread your bottom burger bun with some of the spicy mayo, then top with the burger, next -- some of the onions, lettuce, and (optional tomato), and finish it off with the top bun, also slathered with the spicy BBQ mayo. ENJOY!

SMOKY BACON BURGERS

Steps:

• Combine the ground beef, onion, egg yolk, salt, pepper, and liquid smoke in a medium bowl and mix well.
• The mixture should be soft, yet hold its shape.
• Add up to 1/2 cup bread crumbs if mixture will not come together.
• Mix with your hands-- like a man should!
• Feel free to add small amounts of any other seasonings you think would add to the flavor.
• I like to add a bit of minced garlic, seasoned salt, cayenne, etc.
• Have fun with it.
• Divide the mixture into four equal portions and form into patties that are about the diameter of the buns you'll be using.
• This should make them fairly thin and large.
• Wrap a slice of bacon around the center of each patty and secure with toothpicks.
• Chill in refrigerator at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours to chill and firm up the patties.
• Bring patties up to room temperature while preparing a hot fire in grill.
• Throw on a few water-logged mesquite wood chunks and grill the burgers to your liking, removing the toothpicks before turning over.
• While the burgers are on the grill, lightly toast the buns under the broiler or on the grill.
• Be sure you have the large hamburger buns, not those puny ones like you see in McDonald's happy meals.
• You're making man-sized burgers here!
• Place the hamburger patties, buns, tomatoes, lettuce, and anything else you want to use to build your burger, on individual plates and let each person make their own.
• These burgers go great with potato chips, macaroni salad, baked beans, and corn on the cob for a fantastic Summer meal.
• A chocolate pudding or slice of cream pie makes a great dessert.
• This recipe can be doubled or tripled or whatever to serve as many as you need.
• Enjoy!

SMOKED GOUDA AND BACON BURGERS

Steps:

• Heat the grill as directed.
• Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp; remove with a slotted spatula and place on paper towels to drain. Crumble.
• Using your hands, mix the beef, parsley, cheese, onion, Worcestershire, salt, pepper and cooked bacon in a bowl until well blended; do not overmix. Using a light touch, form into 6 patties no more than 1 inch thick. Refrigerate the burgers until the grill is ready.
• Brush the grill grate and coat it with oil. Put the burgers on the grill, cover, and cook for 7 minutes, flipping after about 4 minutes, for medium-done (150°F, slightly pink). Add a minute per side for well-done (160°F).
• To toast the buns, put them cut-sides down directly over the fire for the last minute of cooking.
• If serving the burgers directly from the grill, serve on the buns. If the burgers will sit, even for a few minutes, keep the buns and burgers separate until just before eating.
