Chef Donalds Extra Flavour Burgers Recipes

BEST BURGER EVER

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium high heat and lightly oil grate.
• In a large bowl, combine the beef, onion soup mix, egg, hot sauce and oats. Shape into 6 patties.
• Grill patties over medium high heat for 10 to 20 minutes, or to desired doneness.

SEVEN FLAVOR HAMBURGER

Steps:

• Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Stir frequently, and break into pieces. Drain off grease.
• Add onion, celery, and green pepper to the skillet, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in ketchup, vinegar, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and tomato sauce. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes. Spoon onto buns, and serve.

THE BEST HAMBURGER RECIPE (AND AMAZING SECRET SAUCE)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded cheese, bbq sauce, and seasonings. Don't add too much bbq sauce or the patties will have a hard time taking shape. Shape patties that are about 1 inch thick (about 5 patties). (You can also freeze the patties after shaping them for about 1 hour to help them hold their shape.)
• Turn grill up to high and let it get hot.
• Reduce heat to medium-high and place the burgers on the grill. Allow this side of the patty to cook for about 4-6 minutes, but make sure it does not burn. Then flip the burger over and cook until done.
• For the sauce, combine all sauce ingredients and whisk until well mixed. Taste and adjust ingredients to your liking.
• Assemble the burgers and serve with the special sauce and other hamburger toppings of choice.

CHEF DONALD'S EXTRA FLAVOUR BURGERS

Steps:

• In a pan saute bacon pieces until tender, adding onion slivers and thyme.
• Pour over ground beef and mix well with a fork.
• Add eggs, crouton crumbs, and creamer, again mixing furiously.
• Add balance of ingredients and mix finely.
• Soak your hands thoroughly in cold water (water and fats will not join) and form patties about 3.5" in diameter 3/4" thick, ensuring that the edges are squared (so they don't burn) and center is "dimpled" (so it won't be undercooked when the edges are done).
• Place on a platter and refrigerate for several hours, so that the meat is at even temperature when you go to cook it.
• Place it on a preheated BBQ grill, searing a grill mark on the meat until it hits "release" temperature, and rotating 90° to get a cross thatch sear mark, before flipping the burger to repeat the process on the opposite side.
• In so doing, the grill should be "super heated" on the cooking side, that the grill is really hot, but on dropping the meat on, reduce the heat to nil, and increase the heat on the opposite side, thus cooking by "indirect heat" method and reducing flare ups. When flipping the meat, reverse the heat process, that the grill can sear the meat.
• Use of wood chips is heartily encouraged, mesquite chips will add a wonderful smokiness to the taste, as will hickory.
• If desired, you can "finish" these beauties with a slice of provolone, cheddar or Havarti, just enough to melt before serving.
• Serve with summer fresh field tomato, "refrigerator dills, sliced very thin and sourdough or onion buns, or, in my case "Weight Watchers" Whole Wheat buns, toasted -- .
