The Bergy Burger Recipes

Steps:

• Season meat your favorite way and form three patties. Do not over work meat and make too compact or you will have meatloaf burgers. I think 1 pound of meat makes three perfect burgers.
• Lightly butter split hamburger/onion rolls and pan fry until toasted. Or you may just dry toast them if you wish without butter. (I get a wonderful jalapeño/cheddar bun from my grocery bakery).
• Chop onion and bell pepper coarsely and fry in a little oil until the onions are caramelized nicely and the bell pepper is wilted.
• Pour off excess oil and add the steak sauce and heat through and set aside in a bowl.
• Grill or pan fry hamburger patties (like Queen Bergy does!) until done to your liking.
• Heat broiler. Yes--you are reading this right-- heat your broiler!
• ---------------------------------------.
• Assemble your Bergy Burger.
• Spread mustard (if using it)on toasted buns. Place a hamburger patty on bottom bun and top with bell pepper/onion/steak sauce mixture. Add pickled jalapeño slices. (if you are using them) Lay a thick slice or two of pepper jack or Monterey jack cheese on top.
• Guess what? Put it under your broiler. After having made this a couple of times I find that doing this keeps the onion/pepper mixture in place while eating it and the melted cheese has a better flavor. Only broil for a minute or so. You just want the cheese to melt well and drape over the ingredients to hold them in place.
• Remove from broiler and add the top bun and serve with your favorite oven fries recipe. That's what Queen Bergy would do.

Steps:

• Place the teriaki sauce, ginger, worcestershire sauce,hotsauce cheese, salt& pepper on one of the patties, cover with the other pattie and seal carefully.
• Slide the sealed pattie into a heated pan (hot temp).
• Brown for 3 minutes, flip the burger, turn heat down to low medium, cover pan and cook 3 minutes,flip again, add Mushrooms, return cover and continue cooking until done over low heat.
• (apprx 12 minutes total).
• Meanwhile toast your bun, butter it if you wish I usually don't.
• When your pattie is cooked and the bun toasted place pattie on the bun along with all the condiments.
• Enjoy.

Steps:

• Make 2- 3 oz meat patties, sprinkle with salt& pepper Sprinkle with the Carne Asada, add the cottage cheese in the center of one patty, top with the other patty and carefully seal the edges.
• Refrigerate for apprx 1 hour, covered Spray a fry pan with pam or olive oil& turn the heat to high.
• Add the patty and brown on one side for 3 minutes, don't let it burn.
• Turn the heat to medium, flip the patty and cover the pan, continue cooking for 3 minutes.
• Add mushrooms, replace lid, turn heat to medium low.
• Continue cooking until the mushrooms are golden and the burger is cooked through apprx 5 more minutes.
• Meanwhile toast one side of each half of the bun, butter it if you wish.
• Top the burger with the salsa. Serve the mushrooms on the burger or on the side, Add whatever garnish you want on the burger and enjoy.

Steps:

• Mix together the pork, cilantro, feta, curry paste, garlic, ginger, Jalapeno & cumin.
• Do not over handle the meat mixture or your burger will be tough.
• Divide the mixture into quarters, form patties, make a thumb print in the center of each patty.
• Cover and refridgerate for at least 10 minutes or up to 4 hours.
• Spray a skillet lightly with Pam and cook the burger over high heat for 1 minute, flip the burger, lower temperature to medium heat, cover pan and cook slowly on one side for 5 minutes.
• If you are adding mushrooms add them to the pan now.
• Flip the burger and continue cooking for a further 5 minutes.
• Serve with lettuce & tomato on a light toasted buttered bun.
• I really recommend adding some Mango chutney on the burger.
