Unique burger ideas

[Buckin Bronco]

I saw a video the other day of a guy taking 80/20 and making 1.5oz balls and smashing them in a tortilla press. The patties were the same thickness of a tortilla(obviously), but when they cooked, they shrunk to bun size and about 1/4" thick. He used 4 patties on the burger. It looked great and seemed like a great idea. I will be trying it soon.

This with lettuce tomato onion and Big Mac sauce is great.

We’ve done one with lamb and seasoning and homemade pita smash gyros that’s really good.

It's damn good.

Like bronco said, LTP and big mac sauce and you've got a winner.

Ground chuck, hand patted loosely enough to hold form, a grill.. salt and pepper. If you put ketchup on a burger then you have the taste of child who should be eating chicken fingers and getting out of the way of men.

You have more reservations on more death hills than any man I know.

How stressful is it for you to have all these rules, man?

Who hurt you?

Ground Chuck, S&P cooked over charcoal, some white American, bacon, Lettuce, mayo, mustard, ketchup. Maybe a fried egg. Or sautéed mushrooms an onion. Got to be cooked over open flame though. For a fried burger, it’s dang hard to beat Caines in Tarheel NC.

Caines and the OLD Melvin's in E town are probably the best burgers on the planet.

X2 for cast iron. And very few homemade burgers are bad burgers.

like the "who makes the best burger" thread.

be creative and eat what makes you happy (and healthy).

we make burgers a good bit. venison. I dont use a bun often. wrap in lettuce. i like bleu cheese but use others. a good dijon mustard helps. add bacon and its on.

and sugar free ketchup

I buy whole ribeyes and cut them up in 1.5-2" steaks. I trim off some excess fat from these and do an 80/20 mix with ground venison. Smash burger on the blackstone or Hamburger steak style on the pellet grill and they're delicious.....

My wife’s mother is from Elizabethtown and I have eaten many a Melvin’s burger. They call it the “Pool Room”. Best there is.

In Edgefield? They make a good burger

I mix the ketchup and mustard right into the raw hamburger (usually venison) meat. I haven't grilled a burger since the first time I cooked one in a cast iron pan. Yes, blue cheese but only on mine...apparently I'm the only one in the family that has cultured tastes...

My uncle used to provide the meat for Melvin's and Cains , his father and him owned "Inman's Red and white" on the corner. I remember when we would go eat there at lunch after a morning on white lake and the end of the line would be doubled to the front door and the burgers were .80 cent.

Jack Brown's actually has the best burger I didn't cook myself. They're all good but the "Ron Swanson" is undefeated.....

Easy now Mrs Doubtfire

I wonder if Neds in Aynor is still making the world famous Ned burger...damn those things were gigantic. Havent been there since 1998 or so when we "cruised the patch"

Smashburger's double truffle burger is a once a year guilty pleasure of mine

[Pass shot]

Venison. Processed by Great outdoors. 1lb burger half pack of thier chorizo. From there you can do whatever you prefer but that mix is pretty dam delicious and checks the different box. The bounin mix sounds good as well

That Blackstone you listed on marketplace the other day could cook up a mean burger I bet. Give them lots of seasoning and flavor.

What happened to Benny?

He was living on a beach in Florida, specializing in pompano fishing last time I spoke to him.
