Post your meanest burger recipe in honor of the 4th

McDonald's add ketchup

I just make a regular burger but spell out "frick YOU" in creole mustard.

50% ground bacon, 50% ground chuck. Season and grill.

Just don't over handle the meat and punch an indention in the center of the burger to prevent too much shrinkage.

salt, pepper, ground meat

i either use a grill or my cast iron

Come now Winky, you could probably fit the Declaration of Independence on one of your burgers.

1. saute chopped onions, bell peppers and garlic and let cool. (refrigerate if necessary)
2. ground meat ratio: 70% ground round and 30% ground pork
3. add precooked veggies to ground meat and add Paul Prudhomme's Meat Magic, one egg (beaten), a little parmesan cheese, Italian bread crumbs, olive oil and a dash of milk.. add salt, mix well and set aside.
4. cook 3-4 slices of bacon in a large pan (Whole Foods in-house smoked bacon is my current favorite) remove bacon from pan.
5. fry an egg in the bacon drippings and set aside.
6. cook the hamburger patties to med well and slap a slice of mild cheddar on each patty, allow to melt and place the bottom whole wheat hamburger bun on top of the cheese. Place the top bun in the oven for a few and slightly toast.
7. assemble the burger with bottom bun down, patty on top, top with egg, then bacon.. add lettuce mayo and tomato, avocado, mustard, horse radish sandwich dressing.. whatever you're in the mood for.
Can also saute onions and or mushrooms and top the burger.

50% ground bacon, 50% ground chuck. Season and grill to medium rare.

Raw bacon and raw ground meat sounds pretty terrible.

50/50 ground pork and chuck
garlic
fresh ginger
cilantro
srirachia sauce
soy sauce
salt and black pepper

Hawaiian bun and top with pepper jack and if you're getting really fancy a grilled slice of pineapple.
