Burgers for Dinner


UD's favorite meal is a burger.  Every time!  Under any and every circumstance.  So here's your burger baby.

Start with about a pound of 85% ground chuck.  Add a couple of tablespoons of steak sauce, freshly ground black pepper and a couple of large pinches of kosher salt.


Grate a quarter of an onion right over the hamburger.  Then you will get all the onion liquid, along with the grated onion.


Mix everything together and separate into two even sections.


Pull the two even sections out and flatten to about a 1/2 inch.


Then I cut those in half, just for the ease of flipping them in the pan.


Once that is done, I wrap it and put it in the fridge for an hour or so.  This will get all the flavors mixing and mingling.  This step can be passed over in the case of sever hunger pains, or excessive drooling from your loved one.

Next get your sides ready.  I am going with grilled corn-on-the-cob and some pickles.


Slather (great word, huh?) the corn with softened butter and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.  Wrap it in foil and it is ready to go on the grill.


I chose multigrain bread, because healthy options are always at the top of my mind.  Really?  I like to scoop out the inside, because less bread and more beef is a winning combination.


More slathering, because healthy options are it tastes sooo good.


Cook the burgers over medium to medium high heat.  Leave it for 5 minutes without touching.  They will get nice and brown on one side and then you can move onto the next side.  Probably another 5 minutes will do nicely.


While they are cooking, start grilling the corn.  After 5 minutes or so, add the bread to get a nice buttery toast to it.


Meanwhile back at the ranch, I have discovered some leftover bacon from breakfast the day before.  Oh boy, did that made me happy!  :)  It is already cooked, so I just placed it on the burgers to warm it up a touch.


When the burgers are cooked, remove them to a plate to rest.


And put the bacon to the side also.


Next bring in the toasted roll.


And start assembling.


A little spinach on the top for good measure, and a little color.


And away we go!


It is great to be back.

A bientôt!
