Louellas Hamburger Goop Recipes

HAMBURGER GOULASH

Steps:

• Place ground beef in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble, and set aside.
• Add all ingredients (except noodles) to browned ground meat and simmer for 1 hour, then add noodles.

VINTAGE HAMBURGER GOULASH

Steps:

• Saute beef, 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes and 2 onions in large frying pan. Drain excess fat. Lots of onions makes this good.
• Meanwhile, in another pan cook macaroni in boiling, salted water until tender. Set aside until almost ready to serve.
• When beef and onions are finished cooking, add the canned, crushed tomatores and approximately 1/2 cup water; also add garlic salt, pepper, chili powder and mix well.
• Simmer for about 20 minutes; then add cooked macaroni noodles and mix well when ready to serve. If you add the macaroni noodles too soon, they may over cook and get mushy.

LOUELLA'S HAMBURGER GOOP

Steps:

• Melt the butter slowly on the stovetop in a small pan with the clove of crushed garlic in it. Stir the butter until the garlic is well-infused and then toss out the garlic.
• Add all ingredients, including the garlic butter, into a food processor. Pulse until the blend looks about right.
• Spoon some of the mixture on to the grilled (still sizzling hot) hamburgers or steak. It should melt into a "sauce.".

LOUISIANA BURGERS 2

Steps:

• For the mayonnaise: To a bowl, add the mayonnaise, mustards, hot sauce, cornichons, green onions, parsley and some salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the burgers: Stir together the paprika, salt, pepper, thyme, cayenne, garlic powder and onion powder in a small bowl.
• Mold the meat into patties. Brush with oil and sprinkle both sides with salt. Sprinkle 1 side of each patty with the spice mixture, making sure to rub the spices into the meat, and then drizzle with oil before grilling.
• Preheat a griddle pan to medium heat.
• Add the canola to the pan just prior to cooking. Place the burgers on the pan and cook until slightly charred and the spices have formed a crust, about 1 1/2 minutes (be careful not to burn the spices). Flip the burger over, lower the heat to medium and continue cooking to desired doneness. Top each burger with 2 slices of cheese during the last 30 seconds of cooking, until the cheese is melted.
• Put the burgers on the buns, top with the ham, some of the onions, some of the mayonnaise sauce and some potato chips. Use a skewer to hold the burger together.

LEA'S HAMBURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion, egg, bread crumbs, and bacon bits. Season with garlic salt. (I like to use a lot.) Divide into four balls, and pat into patties.
• Lightly oil the grate, and place patties onto the grill. Cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until firm and no longer pink in the center. Serve on toasted buns with your favorite hamburger toppings.
