When you bbq do u just make the burgers as is or do u mix stuff in with the chop meat?

And, if so, what? Just curious!

Re: When you bbq do u just make the burgers as is or do u mix stuff in with the chop meat?

I season them with adobo, steak sauce, garlic powder, cumin and i cut onions really small too.

crushed garlic, wostechire sauce (3 shakes) maybe some soy sauce- i like cumin in my burgers (gives them middle eastern flare) lots of salt and pepper - bread crumbs - only a small hand full - i just add a bunch of stuff

you cant go wrong

Re: When you bbq do u just make the burgers as is or do u mix stuff in with the chop meat?

I generally like them plain.. but occassionally I will add a bit of Montreal steak seasoning and work it in with little flecks of butter.

For turkey burgers I add bitty pieces of chopped apple, Montreal seasoning, a bit of chopped parsley, fresh thyme, salt, pepper and a dot of olive oil...

Re: When you bbq do u just make the burgers as is or do u mix stuff in with the chop meat?

I make them a lot of ways.

Some times I throw in a little BBQ sauce in the raw meat. makes them juicy and tasty.

Sometimes I'll put in bacon bits and shredded cheddar.

Sometimes chopped up mushrooms and peppers.

and sometimes just plain meat, and I sprinkle it with Lawry's seasoning salt as I cook.

Peter Luger sauce....YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: When you bbq do u just make the burgers as is or do u mix stuff in with the chop meat?

I generally make them plain, but I also put Worcestershire sauce on them, and sometimes onions and wholegrain mustard in them.

Re: When you bbq do u just make the burgers as is or do u mix stuff in with the chop meat?

I sprinkle on some garlic powder, worcester sauce & mccormick's grillmates hamburger seasoning

Re: When you bbq do u just make the burgers as is or do u mix stuff in with the chop meat?

Re: When you bbq do u just make the burgers as is or do u mix stuff in with the chop meat?

basically just chopped onions and they come out so moist and delicious!
next time i might add a touch of steak sauce and some garlic powder..

i need to experiment more!

Re: When you bbq do u just make the burgers as is or do u mix stuff in with the chop meat?

I usually make them one of two ways:

1. The Average Way

I use only 80% - anything higher and it gets dried out on the BBQ. Throw in some salt and pepper andBBQ.

2. The Paula Deen Burger.

Oh yes. Break out the cholesterol medication.

Same - use only 80% - put in salt and pepper. Using the hamburger press.. I make 2 thin patties (that if together, would make one burger). I put a piece of cheddar cheese on top of one of the patties andput the other pattie on top of that and pinch the sides closed. Then, wrap it in a slice of baon, stick a toothpick in it to keep it together. Usually right before it's done I put another piece of cheddar on the top.

It is by far, teh juiciest burger you will ever have.

I love making Donald Trump's Turkey Burgers....

use chutney and granny smith apples...sooooo moist and delicious.

INGREDIENTS

* 1/4 cup scallions, thinly sliced
* 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
* 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced
* 1/8 cup canola oil
* 4 pounds ground turkey breast
* 2 Tbsp. salt
* 1 Tbsp. black pepper
* 2 tsp. chipotle Tabasco™
* 1 lemon, juice and grated zest
* 1/2 bunch parsley, finely chopped
* 1/4 cup Major Grey's Chutney, puree (I used 1/3 c)

Sauté the scallions, celery and apples in the canola oil until tender. Let cool.

Place the ground turkey in a large mixing bowl. Add sautéed items and the remaining ingredients. Shape into eight 8-ounce burgers. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

Season the turkey burgers with salt and pepper. Place on a preheated, lightly oiled grill. Grill each side for 7 minutes until meat is thoroughly cooked. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Serve with a side of Mar-a-Lago Pear Chutney and your favorite toasted bread, pita or hamburger roll.


DH also loves an inside out burger, thanks to Rachel Ray. Put onions, mushrooms, cheese inside burger.
