BILL'S BEEFUNA BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. When grill is hot, lightly oil the grate.
• In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, tuna, onion, and relish. Season with seasoning salt and pepper to your liking. Form the meat mixture into 6 patties.
• Place patties on the hot grill, and cook for 6 to 9 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Serve on buns with the usual toppings.

BEST HAMBURGER PATTY RECIPE (GRILLED OR STOVETOP)

Steps:

• Set out a large mixing bowl. Add in the ground beef, crushed crackers, egg, Worcestershire sauce, milk, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper. Mix by hand until the meat mixture is smooth, but stop once the mixture looks even. (Overmixing can create a dense heavy texture.)
• Press the meat down in the bowl, into an even disk. Use a knife to cut and divide the hamburger patty mixture into 6 - 1/3 pound grill or skillet patties, or 12 thin griddle patties.
• Set out a baking sheet, lined with wax paper or foil, to hold the patties. One at a time, gather the patty mix and press firmly into patties. Shape them just slightly larger than the buns you plan to use, to account for shrinkage during cooking. Set the patties on the baking sheet. Use a spoon to press a dent in the center of each patty so they don't puff up as they cook. If you need to stack the patties separate them with a sheet of wax paper.
• Preheat the grill or a skillet to medium heat. (Approximately 350-400 degrees F.)
• For thick patties: Grill or fry the patties for 3-4 minutes per side.
• For thin patties: Cook on the griddle for 2 minutes per side.
• Stack the hot patties on hamburgers buns, and top with your favorite hamburgers toppings. Serve warm.

BILL GRANGER'S LEMONGRASS AND LIME CHICKEN BURGERS W/ SPICY SLAW

Steps:

• Put the ground chicken, onion, breadcrumbs, garlic, lemon grass, coriander, lime zest, fish sauce and sugar in a large bowl and mix together well with your hands.
• Shape into six patties, then cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• For the slaw: mix together the sugar and rice vinegar, then add the carrot and leave to marinate for 20 minutes.
• For the dressing: mix together all the ingredients, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
• Heat a barbecue or grill pan and brush with a little oil. Cook the patties for 4 minutes each side or until cooked through.
• While the patties are cooking, put the white and red cabbage in a large mixing bowl.
• Drain the carrot and add to the cabbage with the celery, onion, mint and coriander.
• Add the dressing to the salad and toss together.
• Serve the patties on soft rolls with lettuce, mint and coriander leaves and chilli sauce together with a helping of slaw.

BILL BURGERS

Steps:

• To three pounds of ground beef, add a tablespoon of soy sauce, and a tablespoon of Beefer-Upper sauce. Form into hamburger patties, cook over indirect heat in a smoker fueled with Apple Wood chips. Indirect heat preserves the moisture in the meat and prevents flareups. Apple Wood is the ideal smoking agent for hamburgers. Cooking time is about 15 minutes.

TURKEY BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix together: To a mixing bowl add turkey, garlic powder, onion powder, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper, egg and breadcrumbs. Using a fork, mix together-try not to mix it too much.
• Shape into 4 patties about ½ inch thick- they will be really moist.
• Use your thumb to make a depression in the center of each patty. If grilling, place the patties on a parchment lined plate and freeze for 20 minutes.
