Juicy Quarter Pounder Burgers Food

BUBBA'S QUARTER POUND BURGERS

Steps:

• Throw everything in a large bowl, and mix together. I like to wear disposable vinyl gloves so that I can really get in there and mush it up without having to worry about cleaning my hands.
• Using the 1/3 cup measure, scoop out the mixture and form into patties.
• At this point, you can either wrap for the freezer, or refrigerate until ready to grill. Chilled burgers are easier to manage on the grill, and won't fall apart.
• Preheat the BBQ to the Medium setting. Grill burger for 5 minutes on each side.
• *NOTE* This mixture will yield 7 burgers. Even though there are only the two of us, I cook them all at the same time. What isn't eaten is wrapped and put in the fridge for the next day. The best way to reheat, is in the microwave. Cover in plastic wrap and heat for 4 minutes at 50% power. They get nice and hot without drying up or turning to rubber. Tastes like it came right off the BBQ.
• I hope you enjoy these as much as we did.

JUICY QUARTER POUNDER BURGERS

Steps:

• Pre-heat broiler to 500°F.
• In a large bowl add all the burger ingredients together (except the buns).
• Mix well, (don't be afraid to use your hands, just make sure you wash them well before and after mixing).
• Divide your mixture into 4 equal parts. (i use a scale to make sure the meat is divided equally).
• Shape each of the 4 pieces of meat into burger pates.
• Make the pates thicker at the edges and thinner in the centre, since burgers tend to get rounder and thicker at the centre when you cook them. This way they come out flat once cooked.
• If you are going to grill the burgers it helps if they are frozen first so they don't crumble.
• Place the pates on a baking sheet lined with foil (to help with cleaning).
• Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 16 minutes turning half way threw.
• In a skillet add a little oil (which ever kind you like cooking with).
• Once the oil is hot add the mushrooms.
• Add the minced garlic, salt and Italian seasoning to the mushrooms.
• Stir the mushrooms often, so they are cooked evenly.
• Once the mushrooms are cooked and browned remove them from the skillet.
• One the bottom buns of the burgers spread some mayo.
• Once the burger is cooked add the burger to the bottom bun.
• Then add a zigzag of ketchup to each burger.
• Layer the mushrooms on top of that then the top bun.
• Serve with a side of coleslaw, pickle and backed potato or fries.
