Grandpa Elmers Hamburgers Recipes

REAL HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• Carefully mix the meats, steak sauce, egg yolks, salt, and pepper with the tines of a fork, but do not mash it. Lightly form each hamburger and lightly press into a patty shape. Make an indentation and put a thin slice of butter inside each hamburger, making sure the butter is entirely encased in the meat.
• Heat a grill, broiler, or saute pan and cook the hamburgers for 3 to 5 minutes on each side until almost done. Remove to a plate and cover with aluminum foil. Allow the hamburgers to rest for 5 minutes and serve immediately on buns.

BEST HAMBURGER EVER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for high heat.
• In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion, cheese, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, egg, onion soup mix, garlic, garlic powder, parsley, basil, oregano, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 patties.
• Grill patties for 5 minutes per side on the hot grill, or until well done. Serve on buns with your favorite condiments.

ELVIS' BURGER

Steps:

• Slice the chuck steak, then pulse in the processor; this is great, as you get some smaller bits and some larger bits of meat. In a big frying pan slowly fry the onion in olive oil for about 5 minutes until softened, but not coloured. This gives the sweetness to the burger. Add the onion to the meat.
• Using a pestle and mortar, bash up the cumin, coriander seeds, salt and pepper until fine and add to the meat.
• Add the Parmesan, Dijon mustard, egg and 1/2 the bread crumbs and mix. If too sticky, add a few more bread crumbs.
• Lay out some greaseproof paper, sprinkle with bread crumbs, and then shape the meat into patties. Place them on the crumbs, and sprinkle more crumbs on top. These burgers are better if they are chilled in the fridge for about 1 hour before you cook them.
• Heat a little oil in a frying pan, and cook the burgers on a medium-high heat for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Serve on a toasted burger bun with tomato ketchup and a "wally" (pickled gherkin).

GRANDMA'S HAMBURGER CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Brown hamburger and onion in a large skillet. Add salt and pepper. Add beans and cottage cheese. Mix well and put in a greased casserole dish. Cover top with crackers and pats of butter. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until top is brown.

GRANDMOTHER'S HAMBURGER STEW

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, cook the beef, onion and celery over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomatoes, broth, potato, carrot, rice, salt if desired and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 40-45 minutes or until rice and vegetables are tender.

GRANDPA ELMER'S HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• Good Ground chuck works best -- you want a little fat in your ground beef or it'll be dry & tasteless. 80/20 is a good ratio.
• Mix all the ingredients, well.
• Form into 1/4 lb. patties.
• Place on a preheated grill or hot fry pan (cast iron works the best).
• Cook on both sides, until desired doneness (DO NOT COVER!).
• Top with a slice of good Wisconsin cheese, such as Med. Cheddar or Colby.
• Place on toasted buns or between 2 slices of bread.
• Use your favorite toppings.
• One of our favorites is topping with a slice of cheese & a fried egg.
• ENJOY!
