THE TEXAS SQUEALER BURGER

Steps:

• Begin by chopping the raw bacon finely with a sharp knife. I slice it in half, then in strips, then dice it. The key is to make it small. I do not recommend a food processor because it heats the bacon up too much and can become gummy.
• Gently mix all ingredients in a large bowl and add the bacon. Form into 6-8 patties and put in the freezer for 30 minutes before grilling. This is not a necessary step, but I think the meat holds together nicely when the patties go on cold.
• Grill patties approximately 5 minutes on each side. Allow them to rest 5 minutes before serving.
• Top with cheese if you wish and any of your favorite toppings.

TEXAS BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix raw ground beef with all ingredients. You can add anything else, like green peppers or leave out anything except for the mayonnaise.
• Add enough mayonnaise so it becomes the consistency of ham salad (spreadable). Spread burger mixture on bread (Texas Toast bread or regular bread) very thinly all the way to the edges (it shrinks up as it cooks). Put all on a cookie sheet and broil until meat is done and the bread edges are toasted. My kids laugh because the smoke alarm always goes off when I broil, and they yell, "Dinner's done!".
• You should have about 8 sandwiches per pound of burger.
• Serve open-faced -- either "naked" like I like them or any condiments you choose. Really a different taste instead of just boring burgers.

TEXAS CHEESEBURGER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add oats, butter, milk powder, egg yolk, sugar, salt and 1 cup of flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate egg white., Punch dough down and shape into a ball. Press into a greased 9-in. round baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled, about 45 minutes. Brush with egg white; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool., Combine the first four burger ingredients; crumble beef over mixture and mix well. On a greased broiler pan, shape meat mixture into an 8-1/2-in. patty. , Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. To serve, split bun in half. Place lettuce, burger and cheese on bun bottom; replace top. Cut into wedges.

• Grill patties, uncovered, 11 to 13 minutes or until cooked through (160 degrees F), turning patties occasionally and brushing with the remaining 1/4 cup steak sauce.
