Gouda Cheeseburgers Food

SMOKED GOUDA SMASH BURGERS

Steps:

• Separate the ground beef into equal portions - most most likely 4 or 6 equal parts. I like to form mine into balls so they smash into a more circular burger, but it's not necessary.
• Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. You want it to be hot, so heat it for a few minutes.
• Once it's hot and your burgers are ready to go, quickly brush the skillet with oil and place half of the butter on the skillet. It will smoke, so work quickly! Place one of the balls of beef on the skillet and smash it down with a spatula once or twice. You want it to be about 1/2 inch in thickness (or a little less if you wish!) and want to try and smash it only 2 or 3 times. Season it with salt and pepper and repeat with the rest of the beef. Cook them for 2 to 3 minutes and then flip, season with salt on the other side and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the cheese and let it melt.
• Remove the burgers with a spatula and serve immedaitely with the house sauce, on buns, with lettuce, tomato and onion if you wish!

BEEF AND GOUDA CHEESE BURGER

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix together the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, orange zest and salt. Form into 4 patties and press a dimple into the top of each one.
• Heat a cast iron frying pan over medium high heat and toast the buns.
• Lower the heat of the frying pan to medium and oil lightly. Cook the burgers 5 minutes each side for a well-done burger or 3 minutes per side for a medium-rare burger.
• While the burgers are cooking, spread each bun with mayonnaise on top and bottom and garnish each with a few strips of red peppers and some arugula.
• Place a patty on each bun and top with 2 cheese slices and the top half of the bun.

GOUDA CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Mix first 6 ingredients together and form 6 patties.
• Make an indent in each patty or a hole with a chop stick or your finger through each patty. This will stop the patty from swelling in the center. The hole will close.
• Grill 3 minutes each side for rare, 4 minutes each side for medium, 5 minutes each side for well done. One minute before removing, distribute cheese on each burger.
• Place on roll and garnish as you wish.

BACON GOUDA BURGERS

Steps:

• Season ground beef to your liking.
• Form patties and toss on the grill, skillet or griddle.
• Fry bacon either along side with the burgers or seperating. I like the subtle taste it mixes in with the burgers so I cook them along side one another.
• Crisp up the buns and throw the cheese on to slightly melt.
• Toss on whatever condiments you prefer and enjoy!

VEGETARIANS MOCK MACDONALD'S CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• spread the ketchup on the bottom of the buns, top with onions, then burgers, cheese, pickles, then mustard. for some reason the order of toppings changes the taste.
• microwave the whole mess until cheese melts and burger is warm. good to take with for lunches.
• serve with coke and fries for the full experience :P remember when planning servings that most veggie burgers are a healthy size and not the tiny hockey pucks of micky dee's.
