Mini Martian Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Shape ground beef into eight small patties; sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, cook burgers over medium heat until a thermometer reads 160°, 3-4 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, bake curly fries according to package directions. When cool enough to handle, cut fries in half., Add a half slice of cheese to each burger; cook until slightly melted, about 1 minute. Place burgers on rolls. Using toothpicks, attach curly fries to rolls to look like antennas and arms, and attach olives to look like eyes. Serve with ketchup.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Preheat a griddle to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Line a jellyroll or sheet pan with parchment paper, and place the ground chuck in the middle of the pan. Cover the meat with a large sheet of plastic wrap. Roll meat with a rolling pin until it covers the surface of the pan; it should be very thin. Remove the plastic wrap, and sprinkle the meat with the seasoning mixture. Fold the meat in half, from side to side, using the parchment paper. Use a pizza wheel to cut the meat into 8 even squares.
• Wrap the buns in foil and place in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place the burgers on the griddle and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Remove the buns from the oven. Spread a small amount of mayonnaise on each bun and top with the burger and any other condiments, as desired. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• For Paul's burger sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients.
• For the burgers: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Add about 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to the skillet. When the butter has melted, working in batches, open the buns and toast them in the skillet until they are golden brown.
• Wipe out the skillet and reheat it over medium-high heat. Season the burger patties with salt and pepper. Working in batches and using more of the oil and butter, place some of the burger patties in the skillet (do not crowd the pan). Cook until the burgers are well seared (about 3 minutes) and flip. Place a slice of cheese on each burger and continue to cook the burgers for 2 minutes longer. Cover the skillet to melt the cheese and steam the burgers. Continue until all the burgers are cooked, adding more oil and butter to the skillet between batches as necessary.
• Spread each side of the buns with about 2 teaspoons of Paul's burger sauce. Season the tomato slices with salt and pepper and place the tomatoes on the bottoms of the buns. Place the cooked burger patties on top of the tomatoes and then top the burgers with shredded lettuce. Secure the tops of the buns on the burgers with frilled toothpicks or small bamboo skewers.

Steps:

• Add the lukewarm water to a 2-cup liquid measuring cup or medium bowl. Add the yeast and sugar and stir to combine. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, until frothy and doubled in volume.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the butter, egg, and the yeast mixture and stir with a rubber spatula into a shaggy dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and knead until smooth and soft, about 4 minutes. Place the dough in a clean large bowl lightly greased with nonstick spray and cover with a towel. Let rest until in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F ( 200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lightly grease a clean surface and place the dough on top. Pat down with your hands to about ¼-inch thick. Use a ¾-inch (2-cm) round cutter to cut out small circles. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Brush the tops of the buns with melted butter, then bake for 7-10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
• Remove the buns from the oven and brush with more melted butter while they are still warm. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Make the onions: Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned and caramelized, about 30 minutes more.
• Add wine, thyme, and 1/4 cup water. Raise heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make the burgers: heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
• Heat a grill to medium-high. Combine beef, parsley, and onion in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Form into 8 one-inch-thick patties. Grill 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Top with a square of cheese after flipping burger if desired. Assemble with caramelized onions and skewers.

Steps:

• Mix hamburger, onion powder and salt and pepper to taste. Form into several mini burgers.
• Put burgers on grill or skillet. Add red onion slices around burgers to allow them to cook in the hamburgers juices.
• While burgers cook, mix mayo, dijon mustard, cayenne pepper and salt and pepper to taste.
• Remove burgers and onions when done. Drain grease from skillet. Toast buns in the skillet until they are the desired toastiness.
• Put mayo mix on bottom bun. Put burger on top of mix and top with onion and top bun.
• Enjoy.

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse bread until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a medium bowl; add turkey, cheese, and onion. Season with salt and pepper, and mix gently just until combined. Form twelve 2-inch patties (about 3 tablespoons each).
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium. Cook patties until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Serve on rolls with lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, and mustard, if desired.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line a baking tray with foil and drizzle with a little oil. Arrange the meatballs over the tray, spaced apart, and squash into flat patties using the palm of your hand. Turn the patties over and rub in the oil, then bake for 15 mins.
• Meanwhile, top the base of each roll with a small lettuce leaf. Halve the cheese slices lengthways in a zig-zag to make 'teeth', then cut in half again crosswise so you have eight rows. Cut the cucumber into thin slices on the diagonal to make tongues. Push a cocktail stick into each of the cornichons, lengthways, to make the horns and halfway through the olives to create the effect of eyeballs on stalks.
• Add a burger patty to each of the lettuce-lined buns, followed by a cucumber tongue, cheese teeth and drizzle of ketchup, then sandwich with the tops of the buns. Stick the olive eyes and cornichon horns into the tops of the buns.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Mix ground beef, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup shredded cheese, egg, and garlic powder in a large bowl. Form mixture into 1 inch balls, and gently press onto prepared baking sheet to form mini-burgers.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Spread remaining ketchup on burgers, and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Return burgers to the oven, and bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes.
