Ultimate Cheeseburger
Everyone thinks they have the ultimate cheeseburger, but I really do! Ever since diner food became popular in the 1950′s, there has been a never ending battle for burger supremacy. My waistline will attest to that. However, I’m tired of the same old mystery meat, flat, boring lump of greasy, flavorless, soulless industrial waste we’ve been fed.
This recipe came into being after I looked in the freezer and found I had some half consumed packages of meat sitting there. Daphne and I sat down and concocted this super tasty burger. Yes, this is one burger I wouldn’t be afraid to let my dog eat.
MFO: 7 . Greasy, tasty goodness comes in many forms, but this one will leave you wanting more. As the dog will affirm. By the way, these burgers are big, so stay hungry, my friends!
- Ingredients: 1/2 lb ground beef. 1/2 lb. ground veal. 1/2 lb. ground sirloin. 1/2 lb. bulk sausage( without casing). 1 cup diced red onion. 1/2 clove garlic, chopped fine. mushrooms,chopped. blue cheese, crumbled and at room temp, (I like Roquefort). 1 cup bread crumbs. 2 eggs.
- Cooking Instructions: In a large mixing bowl, combine meat, eggs and bread crumbs. Mix thoroughly. Saute mushrooms, garlic and onion in a little butter. Dump the sauteed veggies into the meat and mix well again. Take a scoop of the meat and form a patty, then place it on a plate. Repeat until all the meat is "pattied". Place those puppies on a hot grill, or fry them up in a skillet. Add the crumbled blue cheese just before serving, place on a bun, and enjoy!
- Options:: Try throwing the cheese covered patties under the broiler for a minute or two, if you want the cheese to be all bubbly and melty, like Auntie Gertrude at a Wayne Newton concert.
- Helpful Hints:: For a little added, cheesy goodness, combine the blue cheese with some cheddar and mozzarella under the broiler. Faan-tastic!
