TEXAS ROADHOUSE STYLE BURGERS

Texas Roadhouse Style Burgers image

These are messy, and juicy, and delicious. If you can only find ground beef packaged set it out on the counter for about 20 minutes to warm up just a little, then follow directions. You will find these classic burgers at any Texas roadside burger joint-the slaw is a must.

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb beef chuck, freshly ground and loose pack*
1 c bbq sauce of choice
salt and pepper
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
4 medium hamburger buns
4 slice american cheese
2 slice sweet onion broken into rings
12 dill pickle slices
4 slice tomato
1 c creamy cole slaw

Steps:

1. For this recipe I use my electric skillet. This way I can cook all 4 burgers at once, and they do not fall through the grill grate, and they will if you use this method.
2. On a plate fluff your freshly ground beef chuck.
3. Lightly salt and pepper your beef and fluff again-around 1/2 teaspoon each.
4. Divide your meat into 4 equal portions.
5. Carefully draw each patty together-it will look like a large meatball barely holding together.
6. Heat your electric skillet to 400 degrees.
7. Add oil and swish it around so the bottom of skillet is covered.
8. Carefully transfer each "meatball" to the hot skillet.
9. Take a spatula and place it on top of the first "meatball".
10. Using a CLEAN can press down hard to form your first patty.
11. Repeat with the other 3. These should be large rounds.
12. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip. You want a nice, brown crust. Not tan, brown.
13. Brush the tops of your burgers with BBQ sauce-be generous.
14. Cook for an additional 4 minutes.
15. Remove to a platter and now fry your buns.
16. When golden brown remove buns to plate.
17. Brush buns with remaining BBQ sauce.
18. On the bottom of the buns place a slice of cheese, then a burger patty, then your pickles, onions, tomato and top with 1/4 cup creamy slaw.
19. Top with bun and eat.
20. In order to eat these you will need to adopt the "lean" stance, regardless of whether you are standing or sitting. If you are standing lean out to take a bite, if sitting do the same. These are MESSY and JUICY and you will be wearing it if you do not "lean".
21. Serve with fries or onion rings.

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs 80% lean ground beef
12 slices bacon, uncooked
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon grill seasoning (I use McCormicks Mesquite)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon minced dried onion
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper

Steps:

Begin by chopping the raw bacon finely with a sharp knife. I slice it in half, then in strips, then dice it. The key is to make it small. I do not recommend a food processor because it heats the bacon up too much and can become gummy.
Gently mix all ingredients in a large bowl and add the bacon. Form into 6-8 patties and put in the freezer for 30 minutes before grilling. This is not a necessary step, but I think the meat holds together nicely when the patties go on cold.
Grill patties approximately 5 minutes on each side. Allow them to rest 5 minutes before serving.
Top with cheese if you wish and any of your favorite toppings.
