Barburgers Recipes

Steps:

• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 20 minutes.
• Gently mix the chuck and sirloin together in a large bowl, making sure not to overwork the mixture.
• Combine the paprika, brown sugar, cayenne, coriander, cumin, garlic powder, mustard powder and onion powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the beef along with the Worcestershire sauce and fold gently to combine. Form the beef into 4 3/4-inch-thick patties, each about 4-inches in diameter. Sprinkle them generously with salt and a pepper.
• Put the patties in the hot skillet (do not press down with a spatula). When the patties are seared and browned on one side, about 3 1/2 minutes, flip and cook on the other side until browned and the burgers are medium-rare, about 3 1/2 minutes more.
• Put the burgers on buns and top with coleslaw and serve with potato chips if using.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place a roasting rack on a foil-lined baking sheet in the oven.
• Using your hands, break the meat into small pieces and combine evenly but loosely on a parchment or waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Spread the meat out and season it generously with salt and pepper. If desired, add the spice mix at this time.
• Divide the meat into 4 portions (about 6 ounces each). Using your hands, form each portion into a ball-shape by gently tossing it from 1 hand to the other. (Don't over work or press too firmly on the meat.) Gently form each portion into a patty about 3 1/2 inches wide and 1-inch-thick.
• Preheat a large cast iron skillet over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Raise the heat to high and add the oil. Add the patties and cook, turning once, until well-browned, about 2 minutes each side.
• Using a spatula, transfer the hamburgers to the roasting rack in the oven and continue cooking to desired doneness, 8 to 9 minutes for medium-rare, 10 to 11 minutes for medium, and 13 to 15 minutes for well-done. If you are using the cheese, top the hamburgers during their last couple of minutes of cooking to melt.
• Transfer the hamburgers to a plate, let rest for a couple minutes before serving. Meanwhile, toast the hamburger buns. Assemble the hamburgers with the condiments and toppings of your choice. Serve.
• When cooking on a countertop grill, turn on grill, then place burgers on the heated grill.
• Timing for a countertop grill:
• For Medium-Rare: Cook for 3 minutes covered and then unplug the machine and continue to cook covered for 2 to 3 more minutes.
• For Medium: Cook for 4 minutes covered and then unplug the machine and continue to cook covered for 4 more minutes.
• For Well: Cook for 5 minutes covered and then unplug the machine and continue to cook covered for 5 more minutes.
• Combine all ingredients.

Steps:

• Heat griddle or cast iron pan on medium high heat.
• Without disturbing grind marks, carefully divide hamburger into 6 sections.
• Place hamburger sections on hot griddle.
• Press hamburgers down onto griddle with a heavy spatula. Use pressure. this causes the hamburgers to stick to the griddle and prevents shrinkage.
• Sprinkle tops with salt and pepper and any other spices you may want to use.
• When the edges look cooked and juices rise to the top, turn over but dont press down again.
• When bottoms are browned, and burger is to desired doneness, remove from griddle and set aside.
• Cover with foil or wax paper.
• Spread cut sides of buns lightly with butter.
• Place butter side down on griddle until lightly browned.
• Place burgers on buns and top with your favorite toppings.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients and shape into burgers.
• Grill to desired doneness.
• Top with a slice of your favorite cheese.
• We especially like provolone or swiss.
• Note: You can add oregano if you like Italian, or taco seasoning if you lie Tex-Mex!
