Red....you know the (unspoken) rule!!!

You can't just post that without a recipe...

redfisher1974

I will get right on it!!

tommygun32

Good man. I'm a massive fan of good Buffalo wings. If I can get that kind of flavor from a burger....well, that's just BONUS!!!

You would have to start with chicken instead of beef.

Yeah Tommy I hear it both ways as well but I actually prefer to have it sweat a bit before grilling. There is plenty of juice in the meat as long as you don't press the patty down as you've mentioned. Also it allows the salt and pepper flavor to soak into the meat. I notice that you made your own ground by putting a steak in a processor, I do the same thing most of the time when I'm not lazy. For those of you with a food processor here is one of my favorites. If you don't own a food processor you could still do the recipe just have your butcher ground the meat for you.

Greek Burger

Tazaki Sauce:

1 cup greek yogurt
Juice of half a lemon
Half of a cucumber, seeded and minced
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
Combine all ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let sit at least an hour in the fridge.

If you can't find Greek yogurt at your market then you can use regular yogurt you just have to prepare it first. The difference between a Greek yogurt and your market brand is the Greek yogurt is thicker but you can achieve this at home. You'll need a strainer and a couple coffee filters and a large bowl to catch the run off. Lay your coffee filter on the strainer and place the strainer in a bowl. Pour the yogurt on top cover it with Saran Wrap and let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours. You could also be creative and use a large cup with a strong rubber band holding the coffee filter in place. I always prepare this the night before and let it sit, I find it tastes better.

Greek Burger:

60% Ground Rib Eye to 40% Ground Lamb
Sea Salt or Kosher Salt
Fresh Ground Pepper
1/2 lemon
Feta Cheese

Combine the Rib Eye and Lamb together in the processor
Form into Hamburger Patty's and season with salt and pepper
My preference is to let it sit on the counter for about 20 mins then grill
Lightly squeeze some lemon juice on the patty's while they are cooking
Top with crumbled Feta cheese and cover with a lid during the last couple minutes of cooking

Serve on a bun with thinly sliced cucumber, tomatoes and lettuce. Then top with the Tazaki sauce!

I buy the bison burgers from the local store and use this recipe, The bison, portabella cap and Brie cheese go together so well.

I love to cook... it is one of my main passions in life. Got it from my dad... err kinda (he left to Florida when I was 7).

anyways - i have lots of recipes but nothing is ever exact (i cook, i don't bake)
There is nothing better than taking something basic and turning it into something amazing.
The grill and the smoker are my best two cooking devices but I can hold my own on the stove and in the oven.

Also, Man V Food is a great show, I am starting to like it more than Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives.

For the chili recipe on the first page - I too use baking chocolate in mine, but I do mine in very distinct stages and w/ a lot more chili pepper and powder but I am a heat freak. With that said, your recipes sounds real good. I will not give out mine as I plan on doing it in competition someday.

Here is my (best-ever) burger recipe. note that it is more like a meatball but when cooked right it is amazing and does not taste like a meatball, however, i have meatballed (verb) mine a few times doh!
1 lb ground beef (93%)
1 lb sweet Italian sausage
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 to 1/2 of a sweet onion (beyond minced - i mean really small)
6-8 oz of mushrooms, again minced or beyond.
4 garlic cloves (change depending on how much you like garlic)
salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper to your choice
1 egg (lightly beaten)
few dashes of Worcestershire

mix all ingredients and make 6 - 8 burgers (larger = better)
put burgers in fridge for 30 to 60 mins
cook on grill med-high heat til done.

top burgers with homemade bbq sauce (can't give that one away either)
2-3 strips of bacon,
lettuce
tomato

this is all from memory, hope i got it right, it is possible i missed an ingredient or two but I think i got it all.
