Kicked Up Burger
There's nothing like a kicked up burger made 3 ways, and after one of these bad boys you'll never look at fast food the same.
Ingredients
- 1 Lb ground beef
- 3 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
- 2 teaspoons chopped shallots
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh Italian Parsley
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon + 1 pinch of black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons bread crumbs
- 5 Tablespoons olive oil
- 3 Sourdough hamburger buns
- 3 Tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 3 slices tomato
- For Avocado Burger: 1 avocado (peeled, pitted and sliced), 6 slices of onions, 6 slices Gruyere cheese
- For Bacon Burger: 9 slices bacon (fried crisp), 6 slices blue cheese
- For Prosciutto Burger: 3 slices prosciutto, 3 slices blue cheese, 3 fresh basil leaves
Cooking Steps
- In a large glass bowl combine ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, shallot, parsley, salt and cayenne pepper. Add egg and 1 teaspoon black pepper; mix well. Add bread crumbs and mix again. Take one-third of meat mixture, roll it into a ball, then pat it down into a patty. Repeat to make two more patties.
- In a sauté pan heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Place patties in pan. When one side is cooked half-way through, flip the burgers so the other side can cook.
- Open 3 sourdough buns and spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon mustard on each bun. Sprinkle with a pinch of black pepper. Place a burger on the bottom of each bun. Add desired burger toppings and the tops of the buns.
