THE PERFECT BASIC BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, salt and pepper. Place ground beef and bread crumbs into the mixture. With hands or a fork, mix until well blended. Form into 4 patties approximately 3/4 inch thick.
• Place patties on the prepared grill. Cover and cook 6 to 8 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.

SPICY CHIPOTLE TURKEY BURGERS

• Cook the hamburgers on the preheated grill until the turkey is no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side. Place the mozzarella slices on the patties 2 minutes before they are ready. Serve on the toasted buns.

THE CLASSIC BURGER

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix ground beef, egg, onion, bread crumbs, Worcestershire, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until well blended. Divide mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 4 inches wide.
• Lay burgers on an oiled barbecue grill over a solid bed of hot coals or high heat on a gas grill (you can hold your hand at grill level only 2 to 3 seconds); close lid on gas grill. Cook burgers, turning once, until browned on both sides and no longer pink inside (cut to test), 7 to 8 minutes total. Remove from grill.
• Lay buns, cut side down, on grill and cook until lightly toasted, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Spread mayonnaise and ketchup on bun bottoms. Add lettuce, tomato, burger, onion, and salt and pepper to taste. Set bun tops in place.

GRANDADDY'S BLACK PEPPER BURGERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the meats, salt, and pepper together. Don't over-mix. It's will cause the meat to get too warm and mushy. If youa re grinding your own meat, add the salt and pepper to the meat before it goes through the grinder. You will have to handle the meat less with your hands, keeping the meat from getting too warm.
• Form the meat mixture into nine 1 1/2-inch patties, making slight indentations in the center of each patty. Season each patty with a little more pepper.
• Brush the melted butter on the inside and outsides of each bun. In a grill pan or cast iron skillet heated over medium heat, place the buns cut side down and cook for about one minute. Turn the buns over for about 30 seconds and move to a plate or cutting board, cut side up.
• Place the burgers in the pan over high heat and allow to cook for about one minute, then reduce the temperature to medium. Allow the burgers to continue cooking for about four minutes. Flip the burgers over and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the patty and cook for another four minutes. Place a dome over the patties to melt the cheese quicker. When the cheddar has melted, remove the patties to a cooling rack. Choose the condiments from the ingredients list above and build your burger accordingly.

Steps:

• Mix salt and pepper with the ground meat and make 4 patties.
• Mix Mustard and Cajun seasoning(Cayenne pepper too if you want, or chipotle powder, or both hehe).

ROASTED POBLANO BURGER WITH PEPPER JACK CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Place poblano pepper on a baking sheet. Rub each pepper with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven until the skin of the pepper is blackened, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven, place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and steam for 15 minutes. Remove from the bowl, peel, remove the stems and seeds and coarsely chop.
• Preheat gas or charcoal grill to 400°F. Shape into eight ¾-inch thick patties. Season each side with salt and pepper. Make a small indention in the center of the burger with your thumb. The fire should be quite hot; you should barely be able to hold your hand 3 or 4 inches over the grates. After the coals are gray, spray grates with cooking spray or brush with oil to help keep burgers from sticking.
• Place burgers on grill and cook about 4 minutes per side for rare, another minute per side for each increasing stage of doneness. Top each burger with a slice of cheese the last 2 minutes of cooking time.
• Evenly spread 1 Tbsp. chipotle mayonnaise on top and bottom of each bun. Place burgers in buns and top with chopped poblano pepper and lettuce.

SAUSAGE AND PEPPER BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium heat.
• Pour the olive oil into a large skillet over a medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the bell pepper and onion, then sprinkle with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until just softened, about 1 more minute. Stir in the pizza sauce and 1/2 cup water, then simmer until thickened but still saucy, about 5 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
• Combine the beef, sausage, oregano, sage and remaining teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix with your hands until well combined. Form into six patties, about 1 inch thick and 4 1/2 inches wide.
• Grill the patties until cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes per side. Top each with a slice of cheese during the last 1 to 2 minutes and cover to melt.
• Serve the burgers on the rolls and top with the pepper and onion sauce, then add the fresh basil.
