Title: Independence Day Bacon Cheeseburgers
Post by: ChileRelleno on July 07, 2018, 08:24:09 PM
Man I completely forgot to post up my Independence Day Grill.
We did Bacon Cheeseburgers, ABTs, Potato Salad, Chips and Watermelon

Burgers

80/20 chuck lightly handled into 3/4lb patties and nicely seasoned with Cajun spice, black pepper and salt
Grilled over high heat for a nice sear
Add cheese and get a nice melt

My tips for great burgers

Do not over handle the meat and do not mix spices into it
Season the unformed chunk of chuck and then gently form the patty
Leave them thick and form a deep divot in the center, I use my thumb, this divot keeps them from shrinking up
Sear them well, this is beef, I cook to medium-medium well

I know David.
I have Ribeyes in the fridge and I am considering a 1 hour round  trip for Hamburger just so I can make this recipe.
Either that or blow it all off and go fishing with my grandson.

A Five Guys with 4 patties might get you close enough.
