THE ULTIMATE HAMBURGER

The Ultimate Hamburger image

For historic continuity, ferociously loyal community support, and an atmosphere that you could spread with a knife, you can't beat the hamburger joint Louis' Lunch, in New Haven, Connecticut. Since 1898, the Lassen family has been grinding its own beef daily, hand shaping patties to order, and grilling burgers on antique cast-iron broilers in front of live flames. (This answers the question once and for all - the proper way to cook a hamburger is by grilling, not by frying it on a griddle.) And as any regional American culinary landmark should be, Louis' Lunch is sufficiently quirky to allow melted processed cheese but militantly prohibit ketchup and mustard as accompaniments to its signature burgers.

Yield Makes 8 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds ground chuck
1 1/4 pounds ground sirloin
Coarse salt (kosher or sea) and freshly ground black pepper
N/A freshly ground black pepper
1/2 medium-size onion, cut into 8 thin wedges
16 slices sandwich bread
3 tablespoons butter, melted (optional)
1 large or 2 medium-size gorgeous, luscious, ripe red tomatoes, thinly sliced
8 Boston lettuce leaves or iceberg lettuce slices
Cheese Sauce (optional)

Steps:

1. Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high.
2. Place the chuck and sirloin in a large mixing bowl and mix with a wooden spoon, or mix the meat in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. If possible, avoid mixing the meat with your hands so your fingers don't warm it.
3. Wet your hands with cold water and divide the meat into 8 equal portions. Working quickly and with a light touch, pat each portion into a 1/2-inch-thick squarish patty. Generously season each patty on both sides with salt and pepper. Press an onion wedge into one side of each patty so that it's flush with the meat.
4. Lightly brush the bread slices with the butter, if using. Arrange the tomatoes and lettuce leaves on an attractive serving platter.
5. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Place the burgers on the hot grate, onion side down. Grill the burgers until cooked to taste, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. To test for doneness, insert an instant-read meat thermometer through the side of a burger into the center. The internal temperature should be about 145°F for medium-rare or, if using commercial ground beef, cook it to at least medium, 160°F.
6. Meanwhile, place the bread slices on the hot grate and grill until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
7. To serve, place a lettuce leaf on top of a slice of toast. Top with a burger, tomato slice, and Cheese Sauce , if using. Slap a piece of toast on top and serve at once.

THE JIMMY BURGER

The Jimmy Burger image

Here is a hamburger recipe that I hope you will try and love as much as I do! It originates from another website as a meatloaf recipe, but I have modified it to create the Jimmy Burger -- which is a cross between a hamburger and grilled meatloaf. I named my creation after my wonderful BF Jimmy :-)

Time 30m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
4 slices white bread (cut off crusts)
1/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
1 large egg, beaten
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 tablespoon steak sauce
salt and pepper (optional)

Steps:

Soak the bread into the milk until it absorbs, then squeeze the excess milk out of the bread and put this bread mixture to the side. Beat the egg. In another bowl combine the ground beef, onion soup mix, egg, bread mixture, ketchup, steak sauce and salt and pepper (if desired) until well combined. Add shredded cheese and mix in until well combined.
Form the beef mixture into patties. You can make the patties as big or small as you like. Put the patties on the grill for about 3 minutes per side for medium rare or until desired doneness. (Note: if desired, you can add a slice of cheese on top during the last 2 minutes of grilling so that it melts onto the burger). Enjoy!
