Best James Beards Cheesed Hamburgers Recipes
JAMES BEARD'S FAVORITE HAMBURGER
Steps:
- Spread the meat out on a board and grate 2 to 3 tablespoons of onion into it¿use a fairly fine grater so you get just the juice and very finely grated raw onion. Now mix in about a tablespoon of heavy cream and some freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Form into patties¿a 6- to 8-ounce patty for an average serving.
- Using a black iron skillet or your best copper one or your pet aluminum frying pan, Teflon-coated or not (with a Teflon coating you won't need much fat, just a little bit for flavor), and cook the hamburgers in the butter and oil over fairly high heat, giving it 4 to 5 minutes a side, depending on how well done you like it. Salt this creamy, oniony, peppery hamburger before serving it on a buttered bun or English muffin, or as a main course with sliced tomatoes and onions or some home-fried potatoes.

THE DET BURGER
In the early '70s a cook named Bob Detweiler got tired of making "just burgers," so he made up this recipe (his wife, Julie, the manager, suggested the cheese topping). It became an instant hit, and they've had it on the menu ever since.

JAMES BEARD'S FAVORITE HAMBURGERS

These patties are moist and flavorful, with a savory, mild taste that pairs well with toppings of all kinds - whether spicy, sweet, or ethnic. Use whatever meat to fat ratio ground beef...

Steps:
- 1. Pat the ground beef into a rather flat, large patty. Grate onion directly over meat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon cream over meat.
- 2. Blend well - but gently - with your hands until combined.
- 3. Form meat into four patties. - for rare burgers, make patties about 1 and 1/4 inches thick.
- 4. Heat oil and butter together into a heavy (preferably iron) skillet. When quite hot, add patties and cook to desired doneness. Turn only once or twice while cooking, and DO NOT press meat down with spatula.
- 5. When done to your liking, add a slice of cheese, if using. Heat from burgers will melt cheese slightly. Prepare buns as desired.
