Party Pleasing Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• For the burger: Find a bowl or pan that is just bigger than your bread and place on a piece of parchment paper. Trace around the bowl with a pen and flip the paper over. Use the paper as a guide to shape the sirloin into a patty. Sprinkle both sides of the patty with 1 teaspoon salt.
• Place a cast-iron pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil and heat until shimmering.
• Add the patty to the pan and press down firmly with a spatula. Cook until the edges are crispy and deeply golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Fan the cheese over the burger and place a metal bowl or baking sheet inverted over the patty. Cook until the cheese melts and gets crispy on the edges touching the pan, about 2 minutes more.
• For the special sauce: Whisk together the ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard and black pepper in a small mixing bowl.
• Spread the special sauce on the cut sides of the boule. Place the burger on the bottom half of the boule. Top with the lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and a sprinkle of salt. Slice into quarters or sixths and serve.

Steps:

• I use Durkee grill creations steak dust instead of the bouillon!
• In large bowl mix all ingredients except crackers until thoroughly blended. Crush crackers between hands until fine and mix.Can be fried or put under the broiler.
• It takes a little longer, but I mix the eggs and seasonings in the bottom of the bowl with a wisk before adding the meat and crackers.
• I broil mine so they are lower in fat.
• If frying, use low to medium heat and cook slowly for tender juicy burgers or hotter for a crispy outer shell my kids love!
