Maybe I should call this “a perfect burger”, because I’m sure to revise my definition of this over and over again this summer. But here is the recipe for my latest creation.
I should mention that I don’t really measure anything when I cook, so adjust quantities to suit your tastes.
2lbs burger
2-3 Tbsp BBQ rub
1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
3 Tbsp Horseradish Mustard (yeah, really…)
1/2 Cup sweet onion – finely diced
1/2 sweet onion – sliced
1 Tbsp oil
Salt
Sharp Cheddar sliced 1/8″ thick from the deli
Banana peppers
BBQ sauce (Bull’s-Eye or other that contains no HFCS)
Mix the burger, Worcestershire, rub, mustard and onion. I like to give it 10 minutes or so on the counter, for everything to soak in. The 2lbs of beef should make 4-5 patties. Grill them up, about 5-7 minutes per side on high heat.
Saute the onion in the oil. About 10 minutes or until they soften. Salt to taste.
A half slice of the cheese is perfect. Add some peppers and BBQ sauce, and you’re good to go.
