Louellas Hamburger Goop Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. Add beef; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into four 1/2-in.-thick patties., Grill burgers, covered, over medium heat 5-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160°., Grill buns over medium heat, cut side down, 30-60 seconds or until toasted. Serve burgers on buns with lettuce, tomato and onion.

Steps:

• 1. Keep the round and pork cold till you are ready to mix the patties.
• 2. In a small sauce pan melt the butter; add the Creole seasonings, Turbinado sugar, salt and jalapeño pepper and sauté on a really low heat till the peppers are soft. I sautéed this mixture for about 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Oh I wish you could smell this butter....OMG! Oh and don't forget to scrape any of the seasonings that might have sank to the bottom of the pan when putting it in a container.
• 3. Let this mixture cool completely { I put it in the fridge till it solidifies } then pull both meats out of the refrigerator and mix them thoroughly { I pull the butter mixture out about 30 to 60 minutes before I need it depending on how warm your kitchen is, } you don't want it melted but in a room temperature state, then mix in the seasoned butter.
• 4. Mix this completely and divide the meat into 6 equal patties. How many patties you'll end up with depends on how big or small you make them.
• 5. Put the patties back into the refrigerator for at least one hour to firm up the butter seasonings'.
• 6. Get your griddle hot and cook them 2 &1/2 to 3 minutes per side { depending on how you like your burgers cooked } don't overcook them because the beef is lean and could become dry, and top them with the usual suspects....sharp or extra sharp cheese, beautifully red ripe tomatoes, thick slices of sweet onions, crisp lettuce, etc!
• 7. AND DON'T FORGET TO TOAST THEM BUNS....it's those little touch's that can make a dish pop!

Steps:

• Melt the butter slowly on the stovetop in a small pan with the clove of crushed garlic in it. Stir the butter until the garlic is well-infused and then toss out the garlic.
• Add all ingredients, including the garlic butter, into a food processor. Pulse until the blend looks about right.
• Spoon some of the mixture on to the grilled (still sizzling hot) hamburgers or steak. It should melt into a "sauce.".

Steps:

• Mayonnaise:
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustards, hot sauce, cornichons, green onion and parsley in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Burger:
• Stir together the paprika, pepper, salt, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne in a small bowl.
• Mold the meat into patties. Brush with oil, season both sides with salt. Sprinkle 1 side of each patty with the spice mixture, making sure to rub the spices into the meat, then drizzle with oil before grilling.
• Preheat grill to high.
• Heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a cast iron skillet on top of the grates of the grill until it begins to shimmer. If using cast iron pan, place the burger in the pan and cook until slightly charred and the spices have formed a crust, about 1 1/2 minutes (be careful not to burn the spices.) Turn the burger over, lower the heat to medium and continue cooking to desired doneness. If using a grill, grill the burgers on the grates of the grill for about same amount of time. Top each burger with 2 slices of cheese during the last 30 seconds of cooking, until cheese is melted.
• Put the burgers on the buns, top with the ham, some of the onions and some of the mayonnaise sauce and potato chips. Use a skewer to hold the burger together.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the ground beef, onion, egg, bread crumbs, and bacon bits. Season with garlic salt. (I like to use a lot.) Divide into four balls, and pat into patties.
• Lightly oil the grate, and place patties onto the grill. Cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until firm and no longer pink in the center. Serve on toasted buns with your favorite hamburger toppings.
