), with fresh garlic and some seasonings. Never tried this before however.
This is what I use with a little onion powder. Keep it simple and add toppings to peoples taste.
Sure if your making a meatloaf sammie maybe?
If you are setting a temperature, you're not broiling. You're roasting. Your oven dial has a setting for "broil". Time will depend on how hot the broiler gets and how close you set your rack. Unless you're using ridiculously lean ground beef, you can afford to err on the long side.
It is funny you say that because I've been trying all kinds of different burgers and it was nice to just have one with a little salt and pepper, cheese and ketchup. I told my wife I wanted a change from the meatloaf sandwiches. You can get carried away with the ingredients.
That is a great way to have an over cooked burger, or a properly cooked burger with half-raw bacon.
My favorite burger is just salt, pepper, and the thinnest shmear of mayo. No cheese. Obviously, this preparation tastes better when you're starting with better quality beef.
Reminds me of a conversation I was listening in on the other day. This hot girl was talking about guys and was saying if she went on a first date and the guy ordered a salad that it was an instant turn-off. She said guys should be eating manly stuff like steaks.
This is what I always do. The best burger I ever had was at a buddy's cookout. He bought the extra lean meat and folded in duck fat. It was amazing, but I have no idea where you would find duck fat.
Serious question. What do you want the bacon to accomplish?doesnt bacon cook quickly?
Buying good beef is the key. I usually get ground chuck from a good butcher, but also like ground sirloin. The regular "hamburger" ground beef makes bad burgers imo. I don't know about the chorizo, bacon, bread crumbs and other add-ons. The best burgers for me start with good beef, a bit of salt and pepper and some good cheddar. I prefer them cooked over charcoal, rather than broiled.
i heard of a restaurant that makes half beef half bacon burgers. I love bacon. So i figured why not give it a go.Serious question. What do you want the bacon to accomplish?doesnt bacon cook quickly?
If it's just flavor or more fat, why not just add some lard or fry it in bacon drippings (or, you know, put a piece of bacon on your burger)? Or is there some textural component you're looking for?
If you have a bunch of ground bacon in the middle of a med or med rare burger, you can expect that part of the bacon to also be undercooked. Do as some others have mentioned- cook the bacon first, then fry the burger in the bacon grease.PinkydaPimp said:i heard of a restaurant that makes half beef half bacon burgers. I love bacon.

ETA- if you are not grinding your own beef or buying from a quality butcher you trust, you should cook it at least medium well.If you have a bunch of ground bacon in the middle of a med or med rare burger, you can expect that part of the bacon to also be undercooked.

Adds a little bit of honey flavour. I always use it as a substitute for corn flakes / breadcrumbs. Tastes fantastic when battering chicken or fish.
