Retro Remix: 1958 recipe with a 2015 twist.

[Craig]

I pulled out my stash of recipe books today and decided to try something simple and old school. I made burgers with tips from the 1958 Weber cookbook pamphlet. The "twist" to this old favorite come from using pretzel buns instead of regular. I used red onions instead of white (it's what I had in the house) and I added some turkey bacon. (Again, it's what I had in the house) and I do like turkey bacon once in a while for good measure. Of course nothing beats diesel (pig).

Here's the pics... Oh and we also did hot dogs for my son and for lunch at work tomorrow...





Yes... I sautéed the onions on the stove....as most may have done back then. Unless your name was George Stephen of course.



Keeping it old school, I needed a 50s style cooker.









Good old fashioned American backyard "BAR B Q"

That's good meat! When that happens, that's GOOD MEAT!








All in all it was good eating. I used 2 lbs of hamburger and doubled the salt/pepper/onion ingredients. It was a win! Thanks for looking!

Craig this is an awesome  example of how to have fun with a cookup and write about it too. Antique cookbook, simple recipe, vintage Kettle, and great pics. Classic!

Stop and Shop has pretzel buns, and they are priced good. S&S is also Giant, New England, NJ and NY locations.

Way to take it old school, and man does that grill look sharp! The wheels, old style ash pan, and paired with with the old recipe book...classic!
