ULTIMATE STEAKHOUSE BURGER

Steps:

• Fry bacon in skillet. Place 3 tablespoons of bacon fat into heatproof bowl and set in refrigerator while preparing other ingredients.
• Put bread in bowl, add milk, and let mixture sit about 5 minutes. Using a fork, mash bread and milk till smooth paste forms.
• Break up beef into small bits into a medium size bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then add garlic, bread paste, and reserved chilled bacon fat. Lightly knead all ingredients to mix and incorporate. Divide into 4 patties.
• Oil cooking grate and grill burgers over a very hot fire, without squeezing down on them, until well seared on both sides (7-10 mins depending on preference for doneness). Top burgers with bacon previously cooked. Serve on buns.

RED RIVER BURGER

Steps:

• Combine green onion or white onion, bread crumbs, serrano peppers, chipotle peppers, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add beef; mix well. Shape meat mixture into four 3/4-inch-thick patties.
• For a charcoal grill, place patties on the grill rack directly over medium coals. Grill, uncovered, for 14 to 18 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the side of a patty registers 160°F, turning once.
• For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place patties on the grill rack; cover and grill as above.
• Grill or toast buns or bread. Serve burgers on grilled or toasted buns or bread topped, if desired, with flavored catsup, tomato slices, red onion slices, and serrano peppers.

GRILLED BACON BURGERS

Steps:

• In small bowl, combine the egg, cheese, onion, soy sauce, ketchup and pepper.
• Crumble beef over mixture and mix well.
• Shape into five patties.
• Wrap a bacon strip around each; secure with a toothpick.
• Grill patties, uncovered, over medium-hot heat for 5-6 minutes on each side or until meat is no longer pink.
• Discard toothpicks.
• Serve on buns with lettuce, tomato and onion, if desired.

THE PEANUT BACON BURGER

Steps:

• Cut the bacon strips in half so you have 12 pieces, each one approximately 4 inches long; fry the bacon well, keeping the strips as straight as you can (a bacon weight works well for that), then set aside.
• Drain the pan of fat but don't wipe out the pan; turn the heat off- you'll come back to this pan later.
• In a large bowl mix together the ground beef, Worcestershire, dried onion, salt, garlic powder, and pepper (and Tabasco/cayenne, if using).
• In a separate bowl mix together the peanut butter, soy sauce, squished garlic, and chicken broth- this is your grilling sauce; if it's too thick still, add broth until it's a consistency you like (I like it thicker).
• Form the beef mixture into six patties.
• Reheat your pan and cook them as you would regular burgers, but brush them on both sides occasionally with the marinade.
• You can add more chicken broth if you want the grilling sauce to go further, or a bit melted butter.
• Now for you low carbers, remember, peanuts are not low-carb, so go easy with the grilling sauce; it'll still taste wonderful if you don't use all of it up on the burgers!
• Low-carb serving: top it with the bacon, either in strips or crumbled, and enjoy; you can add lettuce and tomato if you like, but I love it just the way it is.
• High-carb serving: eat it on a bun with lettuce and tomato and cheese.
