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.

• Divide ground chuck into 6 equal portions and gently from into 1/2 inch thick patties that are wider than the burger buns (as they will shrink). Use your thumb to press an indentation into the center of each patty. Cover and set aside.
• Preheat grill to medium high heat. Just before cooking, sprinkle seasoning over the patties, then place on hot grill, indent-side up. Close grill lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the bottom of the burger is seared and juices are accumulating on top of the burger. Flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until the beef reaches 160 degrees F.
• Place cheese on burgers during the last minute of cooking. Remove to a plate and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving in a bun, with toppings.

SLUMGULLION

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with cold water. Cover and bring water to a boil. Salt the water and cook the macaroni until al dente. Drain and return to large pot. Cover and set aside. You can also do this while you are prepping and preparing the meat.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and add the 2 cloves of smashed garlic to the oil. Saute on medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the chopped onion and mix to coat with garlic oil. Season the onions with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Saute until soft and transluscent. Remove smashed garlic pieces.
• Add the ground beef, breaking up any clumps to form small to medium small bits. Season with salt, pepper (and Accent if you are using that seasoning). Brown the meat and drain off any excess liquids.
• Add meat/onion mixture to the pot of cooked macaroni. Add the 2 cans of diced tomatoes and the 1 can of tomato sauce. Fold in the 1 can of white beans and mix in gently to the macaroni, beef and tomatoes. Taste and adjust any seasoning at this time. Cover and heat through on low-med lo heat for at least 30 min to blend flavors.
• When reheating leftovers, it the macaroni seems to be absorbing the tomato's liquids add more tomato sauce, tomato juice or one 16 oz of diced tomatoes. I've even used a can of V8 to rehydrate.
