Open Faced Texas Burger Food

OPEN-FACED BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat; add bacon and cook, stirring often, until just crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate and set aside. Carefully discard all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease, then remove skillet from heat.
• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, vinegar, mustards, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and garlic to make a vinaigrette; set aside.
• Season patties all over with remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Arrange patties on grill and cook, flipping once, until cooked to desired doneness, about 10 minutes.
• During the last few minutes of cooking, toast bread on the grill, flipping once, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer burgers and toast to a sheet tray and keep warm in an oven set to low heat.
• Heat skillet with the reserved bacon grease over medium heat. Fry eggs until whites are set but yolks are still runny, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, toss frisée and bacon with about 3 tablespoons vinaigrette. Top each piece of toast with a burger, some of the frisée salad, and a fried egg. Garnish with additional salt and ground pepper, if desired. Serve immediately, with remaining dressing on the side. Looking for recipes like this one?

TEXAS BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix raw ground beef with all ingredients. You can add anything else, like green peppers or leave out anything except for the mayonnaise.
• Add enough mayonnaise so it becomes the consistency of ham salad (spreadable). Spread burger mixture on bread (Texas Toast bread or regular bread) very thinly all the way to the edges (it shrinks up as it cooks). Put all on a cookie sheet and broil until meat is done and the bread edges are toasted. My kids laugh because the smoke alarm always goes off when I broil, and they yell, "Dinner's done!".
• You should have about 8 sandwiches per pound of burger.
• Serve open-faced -- either "naked" like I like them or any condiments you choose. Really a different taste instead of just boring burgers.
