Gerrys Sauced Hamburgers Recipes

GERRY'S SAUCED HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• Pan fry or grill the hamburger patties.
• Drain patties on paper towel.
• Put prepared patties in a casserole dish or a roaster.
• Prepare Sauce (I usually double the recipe to have extra on hand) In a medium pot add the sauce ingredients and blend smooth with a whisk.
• Cook gently over medium heat, stirring until heated through.
• Pour over the prepared patties.
• At this point you may cover and refrigerate until ready to heat for your meal.
• If preparing this at mealtime, place in a 300 degree oven for 25 minutes or until nicely heated through.
• I like serving marinated onions, sliced tomatoes, pickles and all the extras that make for a loaded burger.

GZ'S UGLY BURGER

Steps:

• Place a small piece of plastic wrap inside of a 4-inch ring cutter. Place about 8 ounces of the ground beef onto the plastic and lightly press into the mold just to flatten a touch. Repeat with the remainder of the ground beef.
• In a cast-iron pan, heat the oil until it begins to smoke. Sprinkle the burger patties lightly with salt and pepper and place into the hot pan. Sear the burgers, about 4 minutes, on one side. Flip and top each with 2 slices of the cheese. For medium rare, cook another 4 minutes on the other side. Remove the burgers from the pan and rest the meat, 10 minutes.
• In the meantime, toast the buns; place them cut-side down in the hot pan until lightly golden brown. In a medium bowl, toss the lettuce leaves with the red wine vinegar, olive oil and some salt and pepper.
• To assemble, place a burger atop the bottom half of each bun, top with a lettuce leaf and slice of tomato. Spread each bun top with some Special Sauce, and then serve with a pickle spear.
• Combine the ketchup, mayonnaise, cornichons, horseradish and shallots together and season with some salt and pepper.

THE JUICIEST HAMBURGERS EVER

Steps:

• Shape the ground beef into three patties. Place the patties in a shallow dish.
• Combine the beer, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion salt, and pepper. Pour the marinade over the burgers. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Flip the burgers over and marinate for an additional 15 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Place the patties on the hot grill and cook for 2 minutes before flipping them over. Cook the burgers to the desired degree of doneness, about 5 minutes per side for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

SAUCY HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine egg, sour cream, breadcrumbs, parsley flakes, thyme, salt, and pepper.
• Crumble beef and add to mixture; mix well.
• Shape into 4 patties.
• Combine the ketchup, brown sugar, prepared mustard and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl.
• Grill patties, uncovered over medium-high heat for 3 minutes on each side.
• Brush with sauce.
• Grill 4-6 minutes longer or until juices run clear, basting and turning several times.
• Serve on buns.

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.

THE ULTIMATE HAMBURGER

Steps:

• 1. Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high.
• 2. Place the chuck and sirloin in a large mixing bowl and mix with a wooden spoon, or mix the meat in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. If possible, avoid mixing the meat with your hands so your fingers don't warm it.
• 3. Wet your hands with cold water and divide the meat into 8 equal portions. Working quickly and with a light touch, pat each portion into a 1/2-inch-thick squarish patty. Generously season each patty on both sides with salt and pepper. Press an onion wedge into one side of each patty so that it's flush with the meat.
• 4. Lightly brush the bread slices with the butter, if using. Arrange the tomatoes and lettuce leaves on an attractive serving platter.
• 5. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Place the burgers on the hot grate, onion side down. Grill the burgers until cooked to taste, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. To test for doneness, insert an instant-read meat thermometer through the side of a burger into the center. The internal temperature should be about 145°F for medium-rare or, if using commercial ground beef, cook it to at least medium, 160°F.
• 6. Meanwhile, place the bread slices on the hot grate and grill until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• 7. To serve, place a lettuce leaf on top of a slice of toast. Top with a burger, tomato slice, and Cheese Sauce , if using. Slap a piece of toast on top and serve at once.
