| Bacon CheeseBurgers |
When I was growing up, a beef burger was hard to come by in India; so we often made ours at home. However, we always used to fry our burgers and never grilled them, until last night. Last night, I decided to try grilling these burgers, which would make them a little less of a calorie abomination and would save me from cleaning the oil of my stove. Admittedly, the bacon and cheese quickly nullified that calorie-conserving-halo that had started to glow over my head. Anyway, the burger turned out great and I am going to start making it more often.
Bacon CheeseBurgers
1 pound ground beef
About ¼ cup ketchup
Approximately 3-4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
2-3 tsp dried oregano
1 pound ground beef
About ¼ cup ketchup
Approximately 3-4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
2-3 tsp dried oregano
1 tbsp (heaped) bread crumbs
5 strips thick sliced bacon
4-6 slices cheese
4-6 leaves lettuce
1 medium tomato, sliced thin (optional)
Some Mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard
Mix together the ground beef, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, ¼ cup ketchup, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Form into patties and place on a hot grill. Do not turn the burger until the underneath has browned. Flip over, after it's brown, and grill the other side. Once cooked place a slice of cheese over the patty and allow it to melt. Remove from grill.
Cut bacon into half to make it fit on the burger. Place in a baking tray and broil for 20 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit or until crispy. Remove and allow to cool a little.
Toast buns on the grill. When done, remove and spread some mayonnaise on the bottom bun and ketchup and mustard (or any other condiments) on the top. Place the cheeseburger on the bottom. Top with 2-3 pieces bacon. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper to taste. Then put some lettuce and tomato and close the bun. Serve hot.
Notes: Your options with this burger are endless. You can add onion rings, raw or caramelized, and an unlimited amount of toppings like avocado, coleslaw, or lettuce tossed in vinaigrette. I occasionally also add a couple of finely chopped green chilies and/or chopped garlic to the beef mixture.
