Posted recently on TK is my all time favorite (outside) grilled sirloin (93/7) ground beef 1/2 pounder; named The “Brawny Lad” Sandwich, it is on a lightly toasted rye roll, large slice of white onion, large slice of ripe tomato (your choice of condiment) cut in half served with pickles on the side!!! We are hosting a Big 4th of July Party and they are also on the menu. Nanci, I love the idea of peppered bacon! Definitely going to have to make that an option to add to burgers. Thanks everyone for sharing. CLW

I love caramelized onions, sauteed mushrooms and some gooey cheese on top of my grilled burger. With all of that, I don’t even need a bun. Grilled burgers are my absolute favorite summer meal. And if I happen to have peppered bacon in the fridge, that has to be on top as well. Peppered bacon…

Use 90/10 ground beef 3 lbs; 3 c. French’s fried onions; 2/3 c. worchestershire sauce; 1/2 T garlic powder. Mix all together. Grill. Top with cheese and more fried onions.

This is a very tasty combo. Yields 12 burgers. Make into patties and freeze as others suggested.

My simple burger is ground meat, minced garlic, minced onion, Worcestershire sauce and Lawry’s® Seasoned Salt. I prefer to use dry garlic and onion. Combine ingredients and refrigerate for an hour. Make patties and cook.

My favorite toppings are tomato, lettuce, bleu cheese, bacon, avocado, mayo and ketchup.

I would like to try creating a white burger. The toppings could be arugula, ricotta, mozzarella, dash of tomato sauce, toasted bun lightly coated with oregano/basil infused olive oil.

Years ago, before Bacon was seen on and in everything our meat market man began experimenting with bacon burger. He ended up with this perfect blend of beef and bacon that was juicy, but not overly bacony. Every chance I get I pick some up for burgers. I love my burgers straight up with lettuce (I prefer leaf to anything else) and a thick slab of tomato with garlic dill pickles and very little condiments. Sometimes for a kick I add a little BBQ to the burgers, but not often. I always toast the bun over the grill…just something about that slightly toasty bun makes a burger.
As a cheater tip, I keep burgers ready to go in the freezer. Sandwich baggies make perfect little bags for the burgers, and I make them into patties, then when I need a quick, summery meal I just pull them out and slap em on the grill. Generally by the time the outside is done, the inside is just about done as well.

86 the pink slime & supermarket ground beef. Buy a Waring Pro grinder and make your own burgers & sausage. I like 50% chuck, 25% flank, & 25% top sirloin. Brioche buns work best for me. Make a batch and use Foodsaver packs so you can pull them out of the freezer for quick meals in the time it takes to fire up the grill.

Never eat a burger without toasting the bun; drain the grease and toast in the pan you cooked the burgers in. Yeah I know, too fattening but occasionally ya gotta live.

Since I can’t eat burgers out because of the bread, when I do make them at home it’s a big production. My husband travels 45 minutes each way to buy the most incredible gluten free rolls for me.

I use 80/20 and dimple them as well, worcestershire, sprinkle of taco seasoning. Topping are caramelized onions, sauteed mushrooms with tamari (gluten free soy) and butter, crispy bacon, double cheese, mayo, ketchup.

We also enjoy sausage burgers on the grill, just buy the best Italian sausage you can find, open the casing and make into burgers. We top with cheese and duck-sauce.
