How do you make Lela's famous burgers?
Q-My wife watches a show called Kitchen Nightmares. While I was suffering through (sort of) watching it with her one night, I found myself interested in the hamburger recipe. Unfortunately, I tuned in (paid attention) a little too late and did not catch how to make it. Can you help me out?
A-You are in luck! Since I just love food, I do not mind watching all of those shows and happen to know exactly which recipe you mean. It sounded great to me, too.
This burger is great for anyone that likes to change things up a bit occasionally. It is not your typical burger and has a sort meatloaf on a bun feel, which I love. I hope you enjoy it as well.
Ingredients
1 lb Ground Beef
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
Worcestershire Sauce (several splashes)
2 Egg yolks
3 Tablespoons Ketchup
Red Onion Chopped Fine (To taste, enough to be distributed throughout the mixture)
Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Prepare your grill or pan by allowing it to reach medium heat. Once hot, place the burger on the grill and resist the urge to press them with the spatula or move them around too much. Doing either of these things will cause the burger to dry out or crumble.
After 3 minutes, flip them and allow for another 3 minutes of cooking. Make sure the meat reaches 160 degrees (as per USDA recommendations). Now, remove them from the grill, place them on a bun of your choice, and top those bad boys with fresh tomatoes and lettuce and you have one of the best hamburgers on the planet.
As an added bonus, if you swipe this paper before she sees it, you can impress her with your interest in one of her favorite shows!
