Burgers
November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ Connie
Despite the adverts that bombard us every single day, I still believe that home-cooked burgers are the best tasting and healthiest. I never make burgers with commercial burger mixes or patties. I choose the beef, have it ground and make my own patties. Good-quality lean ground beef is a good second option. Whichever you choose to use, make sure that the beef is finely ground. Meat grinders have different settings–fine, medium, coarse. How the beef is ground depends on how you intend to cook it. Meat for burgers must be finely ground to avoid crumbling during cooking.
What to go with your home-cooked burgers? Your choice. These are the ones my kids enjoy–onion rings, tomato slices, cheese and lettuce. My husband and I add pickles to ours.
There are many ways of cooking burgers–grilled, broiled or skillet-fried. I prefer broiling. It gets rid of all unecessary fat and it’s the least messy way to cook my burgers. What I did was to place the patties on a pizza rack photo herewith a large cake tin underneath to catch the drippings.
