I turned an 'oh crap, it's getting late were still at the park and no plans for dinner!' panic into my Burger Month Entry.
That's what I love about grilling burgers, they are quick, versatile and delicious. Within 35 minutes from arriving home from the park, I had burgers on the table for dinner!
To me burgers are all about the toppings. Keep it patty itself simple. Some 80/20 chuck, salt and pepper. Nothing else.
The toppings? Oh that is where the fun and versatility begins!
Kid wants just ketchup and bacon (defiantly no pickles!)? - done!
Wife wants a basic burger with cheese, lettuce and tomato? - done!
Me? I'll have mine with bacon and sautéed mushrooms and onions - done!
So how'd I get this from idea to plate in 35 minutes?
Started the coals, and assembled all the fixings
Started off by cooking the bacon in the cast iron for 3 or so minutes over direct heat
Moved bacon to indirect(ish) heat and placed burgers on grill flipping after 3 minutes
At the flip I added the mushrooms and onions to the cast iron next to the bacon. Cooked burgers 3 more minutes, added cheese cooked another minute.
Now for toasted buns a lot of people use butter, I'm here to tell you there is a better way - mayo! It gets the bread nice and crispy (works wonders for grilled cheese and tuna melts too)
There you have it, 3 amazing burgers all made to order by Chef Dad.
