Colby /jack sounds yum though.

I use it all the time because it is so versatile. Colby (like a mild cheddar) with Monterey Jack. You can use it for anything. Grilled cheese, Mexican dishes, American dishes, etc. The last batches of enchiladas I made all had it. 
 
Had some friends over for crabs, burgers and dogs.....in this case just a burger and dog picture in one

Erm...
 
My apologies for my very late reply. I've just responed to the obligatory "welcome" post that I had to do, and rather than rehash here, I'll just say my lateness involves two dead guys that nobody gave a funk about, and funerals durining the current trend. But that aside...

nope, no rules on the burgers. it`s a free-for-all. do whatever you think will taste good. that`s why you see so many different styles of burgers here. i don`t normally add things to the beef but i`m sure adding to the meat would taste great such as onion or mushroom or diced peppers of your choice. i usually just add stuff as toppings. when you get around to making some post them up.  :cheers: and  :welcome: to the forum!

Haha... Of course. No rules, experiment. That is my normal response to most things, but while reading this thread my mind honestly got into a groove about initial binding with the meat. My grandmother used to infuse onion, and I had never thought about that until I started reading this thread. Appreciate your pointers.

Personally, I don't like to add anything to the meat, I'll only add seasoning to the outside.  The reasoning is that any mixing can overwork the ground beef which will change the texture of the cooked burger.  I want it to be as tender and crumbly as can be, not chewy and dense.  The opposite of sausages...just a different product and procedure.
 
If you've done any baking, think of it like making a pie crust rather than a pizza dough.
 
So this is why I don't generally add anything to the meat, sometimes I'll season it with spice mix, but usually just salt and pepper.  Good quality ground beef is just a simple beautiful thing.  I'll usually just dress the bun with mayo, mustard, and hot sauce.  and to be honest, I may be the odd man out, but I don't usually like cheese on my burger.
 
Even though I say all this...I've made and eaten burgers every which way, mixing all kind of things in the meat and whatever.  This is just how I like do to them now.
 
Also, I'm not a big fan of pre-seasoned patties...they're big in the meat markets/butcher shops around here.  They always have a good flavor, but the salt and mixing kill the texture.  Salt starts to break down the proteins in the beef, allowing them to bind together much better, thus making a dense, smooth, sausage-like texture.

Jesus Christ, you people are hardcore. What I mean to say is more hardcore than I initially thought you were, while I was enjoying reading page after page of hardcore shit and not being a member. Jubnat: You delivered an eye opening... what... thesis (?). I don't know. I guess pure information I hadn't even thought about. Very much appreciated.
 
Balls to it. If I have the time I will try and make my own burgers this coming weekend. I don't have that many posts so I don't know if I could even have the ability to post pictures. But if I do, my guess is you guys will probably rag on my buns, haha. Very difficult to get decent buns here in the UK at this time. Maybe it's always been that way. I don't know.

I am sure when I sighed up I was directed to the "welcome" thread. I don't know what you mean. If I've done something out of order or wrong, my apologies. That's on me.
