Best burgers
« on: August 26, 2018, 04:16:21 PM »
I didn’t get a picture of the final product. But doesn’t matter because the picture couldn’t do justice.

These burgers were started with some 80/20 ground beef, which was gently separated after letting it set on the counter to come closer to room temp. Seasoned with salt and pepper, then added olive oil and some really finely diced onion before gently mixing. And gently (and I cant stress gently enough - more like  just barely pressing into a patty) formed.

Put ‘em back in the fridge to get cold so they will hold together when you put them on the grill. Which you will do indirect with some smoke. After they sit indirect for a while (depending on desired doneness, but long enough to get the onion cooked a bit), transfer to a hot cast iron pan or griddle. Sear. Move back to indirect and add cheese to melt. Serve with toasted buns and whatever condiments.

Also, smoked hash brown casserole is pretty good too.

looks delish, gently mixed is the way to go for a burger
Seeking a Black Sequoia I know I know, I'd settle for just the tabbed no leg grill

A bag of frozen hash browns. Half pound of shredded cheese. One and a half diced red onions. Whatever sour cream was left in the container (not much). A container of onion n chive cream cheese. Salt, pepper, garlic powder. A couple of chopped green onions. Mixed it all up as well as I could. Added a few tablespoons of butter on top.

Pretty much just threw whatever I happened to have on hand in the fridge, so the amounts are approximate.

Cooked at 300-400 deg with a chunk of apple wood until IT was near 200 deg.

This made two small (6x8) aluminum pans full - I put one back in the freezer uncooked for next time.

If you can find any ground Corriente beef locally, you owe it to yourself to try some.
