Got burgers on the grill? Try these.
Can we ever get enough burgers in the summer time. There’s just nothing like a good grilled burger with just about anything you want to put on it. Last Sunday night we were invited to friends’ house and had some delicious grilled burgers and it got me thinking that we don’t do burgers nearly often enough at our own house.
Seems like when our kids were still home we had hamburgers once a week. Then it got to where I hardly ever fixed them for just the two of us. If you were from the town we grew up in, Caruthersville, MO and you ordered a burger it would almost certainly have mustard, pickle, onion and slaw. Yes, slaw. Not really coleslaw but a grated cabbage with a little Miracle Whip, sugar, and mustard.
My mother always made thin crispy burgers and those were really good but now I really like a thick juicy burger with a lot of stuff piled on top with a toasted bun and the toasted bun really makes a difference.
I love making our doubled stuffed burgers which are two very thin patties with a slice of tomato, onion, jalapenos and cheese in the middle, grilled, put on a toasted bun and ready to ooze cheese all over you when you bite into it. The double stuffed burgers are also great with caramelized onion, Swiss cheese and mushrooms.
We decided to do some burgers a few nights ago with no bun (gotta cut those calories someplace because I have several ice cream recipes I want to try this summer) and I was looking for something else to throw on the grill. The tomatoes and onions were perfect. The tomatoes were the on the vine type and I just cut them in half. The onions were our Texas 1015 which is Texas’ version of the Vidalia onion from Georgia.
