Burgers? Hell Yeah!!

Hey y'all looking through the sacred THP scrolls it is apparent that most awesome of foods is sorely neglected. That's right chidren's, I'm talkin' about BURGERS!! Sliders. Pub burgers. Fast food style burgers. Gastro burgers. Cheffy burgers. CHEESEBURGERS!!! Single and double meat. Triple meat. Extreme burgers. Man vs. Food burgers....the list is endless but y'all get the idea.

We won't go into the endless arguments of who created the first hamburger (Fletcher Davis) or what meat qualifies as a burger. Nonetheless....here are the rules for posting in this soon to be awesome thread:

1. Any meat goes. Beef, chicken, pork, lamb, rat, fish. Whatever, hunt it down and kill it with a knife. Its all good and I've included the options other than the traditional beef so all the kids can play in the pool. If its ground and round, its all good.

2. The damn 'thang has to be between 2 slices of bread or bun. White bread. Brioche. Sourdough. English muffin. Whole wheat. Its got to be bready. No wrap crap or wild pizza dough like chingaderra's.

3. Any cooking method goes. Grilled. Broiled. Griddled. Steamed. Deep fried. Zippo lighter.

4. Because I love to ridicule to no end tree hugging granola wimps and hippy's.....
Veggie burgers are all good. Just be prepared for the woe and gnashing of teeth and smack talk that will soon come if you post it. It will be all in fun and all good.

5. You suck at cooking? The only thing that would suck more is if you posted pics of your restaurant burger. For the sake of keeping the comedy rolling...
Any burger you didn't cook or you bought is allowed and is all good. Warning: while allowed, posting pics of BK burgers or their ilk with a splash of tabasco will bring upon you the most ridicule and insults. Even more than a veggie burger!

6. Chile's and/or hotsauce is mandatory on the burger. ON the burger, no crap on the side.

7. Pics are mandatory. No posting about a burger you made or ate without pics. You will suffer extreme ridicule and experience much loathing. Just don't do it.

8. Include a list of condiments and toppings. Mayo. Mustard. Onions. Cheese. Extract of male baboon spermatazoa. Whatever. Post it.

There it is y'all. Can you get down brown with it? Allrighty then...

RELEASE THE KRAKEN!

Here's mine. Sliders. 80/20 ground chuck from Matador Meat Market, Frisco, Tx. Cooked over fine diced yellow onions in cast iron using the smash technique. Toasted Pepperidge Farm slider buns with mustard, the onions, dill pickle and jalapeno pickle slices. Kraft brand American Plastic Cheese.

Adult beverages are encouraged in the pics but not mandatory. Dig that awesome cast iron crust sear!

So bring on your burgers. And that means those damn Aussie's and their stinkin' beet root too!!
 
I'm totally with you on the sprouts, but you lost me a little bit w/ the raisins in the bread!
 
I really like the textural add for sprouts on a sandwich, though ...

I like half turkey meat in my meatloaf, but haven't yet met a turkey burger that I've liked ...
 
I'd say use dark meat but that defeats the purpose, the only ones that are lean are the white meat, but for me the trick is, make them thin with a good sear. Like white meat turkey sliced, a one inch slice is dense.
 
Try making a super thin patty in a hot CI and sear it good. Make 2-3 patties like this then layer sauce (BBQ or hot) and cheese in between them on brioche. L&T on top, mayo, S&P, jalapenos.
 
You get a lot of sear surface area in your bite.
 
My first post! Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh..... I love me some burgerses.

96/4 sirloin ground beef (I hate fat, go on...gimme sh-t)
Minced garlic, onion, hawaiian aloha prime steak mix, minced trini scorp peppers, A1 steak sauce, Bliss Blast hot sauce all mixed into the ground beef. Added more Bliss sauce as I grilled the moo patties.

Tossed on some oinkin bacon for thrills, who doesn't want bacon on a burger? Prepped some shredded iceburg lettuce, and slice up some homemade trini scorp dill pickles mmmmmmmm. And shredded some hoffmans super sharp cheddar. Sorry only 3 pics cuz was starvin!
