Chesapeake Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Place the cheese sauce in a pan over low heat to warm gradually.
• Melt the butter on one half of the griddle. Add the onion, peppers and mushrooms to the buttered side of the griddle and toss. Season with 1 teaspoon of the steak seasoning, then let cook until they begin to caramelize and darken, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, divide the beef in half and roll each half into a ball. Sprinkle the beef with the remaining teaspoon steak seasoning, along with some salt and pepper. Add the beef to the griddle and, using the back of a spatula, smash the beef into two thin patties. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. When the patties are cooked through, place a slice of provolone on each patty and allow to melt slightly. Place one patty on top of the other and remove to a plate. Remove the vegetables to a plate also.
• Add the mustard to the bottom half of the roll. Add the patties and top with the vegetables. Cover the vegetables with the cheese sauce and add the top half of the roll. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat. Mix together the ground beef, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and basil. Divide into four balls, and flatten into patties.
• Cook the patties for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side, or to desired doneness. The internal temperature should be at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Remove from grill and place onto hamburger buns. Top with desired toppings and condiments.

Steps:

• Put meat in a large bowl, preferrably metal, glass, or ceramic. Plastic holds odors and sometimes bacteria.
• Mince onions (now would be a good time to use that expensive food processor that's collecting dust somewhere in your house!).
• Add onions, worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper, tomato paste and Old Bay Seasoning to meat in the bowl and mix VERY thoroughly.
• Mash it all together and firmly pat out your hamburgers using 1/2 to 3/4 of a pound of meat per person.
• Spray grill rack with Pam or similar spray and put burgers on grill. Flip every 3 minutes until desired doneness is reached (if you're using ground poultry cook THOROUGHLY! Until juices run clear, allowing for the coloring of the seasonings). If you want to pan fry your burgers spray a frying pan with Pam and cook as described above.
• If you want cheeseburgers put desired amount of cheese on burgers about 1 minute before removing burgers from heat. Allow cheese to melt thoroughly.
• Remove burgers from heat and put on buns. Have lettuce, tomato, onion, relish or other pickles, mustard, mayonnaise, and ketchup, etc. available for people to make their masterpiece. ENJOY!
