Lynns Backyard Burger Recipes

YOUR BEST BACKYARD BURGER EVER

Steps:

• Place ground chuck, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir or use your hands to combine.
• Form four patties that are about 3/4 inch thick.
• Clean your grill. It is important to start with a clean grill. The burgers will taste better, the burgers will not stick, and it helps you make those pretty grill marks on your burger patty.
• Set or moderate your temperature to cook the burgers on medium-low to medium heat. My preferred temperature is 350 degrees F. You can test the temperature with a Thermapen if your grill does not have a thermostat.
• Place the patties on the grill. Once you have placed the patties on the grill try to turn them only once. The more often you turn the burgers the more likely you are to squeeze out the juices.
• Burgers should cook for 6 to 8 minutes on each side. You can test the temperature of the patty by inserting a meat thermometer into the patty. Ground meat patties should reach a temperature of 160 degrees F.
• Place a slice of cheese on top of each patty just before they are done so the cheese will be slightly melted.
• Remove the patties from the grill.
• Assemble your burger with your preferred toppings.

ALL AMERICAN BACKYARD BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium-high. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, spinach, onion, Worcestershire sauce, and 3 teaspoons each of the salt and pepper.
• Divide the meat equally into 12 portions and form into patties about 1 inch thick. Season both sides of the patties lightly with salt and pepper.
• Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil and place the patties on the grates. Grill the patties for 4 to 5 minutes, then flip and grill 4 minutes more for medium. Place a slice of cheese on top of the patties and cook an additional 1 minute or until melted. Toast the buns (if desired), cut sides down, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until lightly toasted.
• Serve burgers with desired toppings.

LT BACKYARD BURGER

Steps:

• Heat a griddle medium hot.
• Using your hands, form the beef into a 1/4-inch-thick patty, trying not to press the patty too much or the meat becomes tough and the patty does not cook properly in the center. Brush some butter on both sides of the patty, season with salt and pepper and cook on the griddle for 2 to 3 minutes on each side for medium rare.
• Meanwhile, brush softened butter on both slices of the bun and place on the griddle until toasted.
• To assemble, place the hamburger on the bottom slice of the bun, and the lettuce, tomato and pickle on top of the hamburger. Spread the LT Pickled Mayo on the top bun and then put the sandwich together and serve.
• Place the ingredients in a small bowl and mix together.
