The art of making hamburgers

[Jasper]

TRUE

But the burger meat we bought is kinda crapsack, and needs help... 

Maybe I'll just do sloppy joes.

I AM A GENIUS!

Just made byrgers for Pix and I.

Easy as shit, just coarse minced beef, half an onion, some parsley, salt'n'pepper and some breadcrumbs... and ALE, BITCHES.

Into the fridge for an hour, formed patties and (due to lack of complete cooking facilities here) quickly fried in a pan.

Sweet!

Also put some brie and tomatos and such all up in the buns.

Note: Pixie is now totally content and falling asleep. I didn't even spike the burgers, they're just that good.

[Triple Zero]

sounds like YUM

I should totally make my own burgers soon, I got ready made ones from the supermarket, they were on special offer. And even though they were the quality story brand type, not the ultra cheap deep-frozen "possibly not actually meat" kind, I still didn't really like the way they tasted.

However no garlic?

Ale?  In hamburgers?

Works for bratwurst.

I say, why not?

(and IMO it's better than drinking the stuff :-P)

recipie called for stout, but Newcastle Brown works just as well.

[Triple Zero]

"stout" is the Dutch word for "naughty/bad".

If I ever get to those parts, I'll make sure to order their naughtiest beer.

(yes, it's redundant, but too much is better than not enough)

And cookin' wiff booze is always right.

Even if it doesn't happen to end up in the dish.

Another bit of advice I learned about grilling burgers, for newbies: Don't go crazy flipping them. It takes a bit of practice if you're not experienced, but eventually you'll learn about how long it takes for one side to finish cooking, and then the other.

If you flip it a dozen times your burger will get dizzy and lose its sense of direction. And there's only ONE direction it should be going.
