Best English Muffin Hamburgers Recipes

"ENGLISH" PUB BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
• For the sauce: Stir up the sour cream, horseradish, mustard, chives, dill and garlic in a small bowl and adjust salt to taste.
• For the burgers: Arrange the bacon on wire-rack-lined rimmed baking sheet or slotted pan. Bake until very crisp, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Combine the beef with grated onion, salt and pepper and Worcestershire sauce and score into 4 portions. Form 4 patties of the beef mixture thinner at center than edges for even cooking. Cook patties in a little oil, about 7 minutes, turning occasionally. Then melt 2 slices of cheese on the patties for a minute or so.
• While the patties cook, toast the English muffins. Lightly butter bottoms and add thinly sliced dill pickle chips.
• Place burgers on buttered side of muffin and top with 3 half-slices of bacon, watercress and horseradish sauce.

ENGLISH MUFFIN PATTY MELTS

Steps:

• Put 2 tablespoons butter, the onions and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions begin to soften and release liquid, 10 minutes. If the skillet becomes a little brown, add 1 to 3 tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to release the browned bits and prevent burning. Add 1 teaspoon sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and soften, 10 minutes.
• Form the ground beef into four 6-ounce patties (about 1/2 inch thick). Season the patties on both sides with several cracks of pepper and 1 tablespoon salt total.
• Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or large skillet over medium high heat until shimmering. Add the patties and cook to your desired degree of doneness, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare or 5 minutes per side for medium.
• Meanwhile, make the special sauce. Stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, remaining 1 teaspoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Generously spread the remaining 1 tablespoon butter on the outsides of the English muffins. Put the tops, buttered-side down, in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
• On each top, add 2 teaspoons of the special sauce, 1 cheese slice, 1 tablespoon caramelized onions and 1 patty. Top each patty with 1 tablespoon caramelized onions, 1 cheese slice and 1 English muffin bottom. Cover and cook until the bottom cheese slice melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip using two spatulas, cover and cook until bottom cheese slice melts and the English muffin is toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with the remaining sauce.

MUFFIN-TIN CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Brush 12 regular-size muffin cups with melted butter. Press half of a bun, cut side up, into each muffin cup, pressing to 1/4-inch thick; set aside.
• Meanwhile, in 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp; with slotted spoon, transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off and discard all but 1 tablespoon drippings. Add beef, onion and seasoned salt to drippings in skillet; heat to medium-high heat. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until beef is brown and cooked through; drain.
• Divide mixture evenly among muffin cups. Gently press mixture down into cups. Top each with 1 teaspoon ketchup. Divide cheese, then sesame seed among muffin cups.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until cheese is melted. Immediately top with cooked bacon, followed by relish and mustard or Sriracha sauce, as desired.
