Building a Burger

Last edited:
I scored big at Kroger yesterday. In the "Manager's Special" (meat that is very close to the sell-by date) section of the meat department, they had Certified Angus 80/20 ground beef marked down to $2.68 a pound. They had three packages of one pound each. I bought them all.

I bought some everything bagels, too. I foresee a bagel burger in my near future. :okay:

I'm sure there is a thread of at least a similar title but for the life of me, I can't find it.

Anyway, here's mine.

Sourdough roll sliced in two (not three - I've found two easier to control during the biting process) slightly toasted with ketchup and a few sliced chillis to add a little fire.

We can obtain semi decent beef, usually either from Australia or local Australian cattle, but the pork here is excellent (and cheaper).

This is how I make mine, give or take a few variations - Pork burger

I named this one my Yorky Porky Chili Burger.

So we haven't had another BURGER post for about a year. I'm currently in "Burger Heaven" (aka, the USA) so burgers take a front seat. In the two weeks I've been here, I've been served burgers 4 times... and I'm pretty sure my son is going to fire up the grill on Friday and serve me a burger. 4 times in 2 weeks is about my normal consumption for 6 months.
I'm happy to eat a burger but, please, don't try and make it a Michelin Starred Treat, because it isn't, and will never be. For me it's comfort food; easy, yummy, filling, satisfying.
My ideal burger doesn't have to come with a brioche bun, or toasted black sesame seeds, or slices of fresh black truffle. My absolute favourite would probably be a grilled burger,. medium rare, with a thick slice of cheese on top, ketchup, good mustard, and a side of lettuce, tomatoes and raw onion. Dill Pickles as well.
I'm quite happy to have blue cheese, or mushrooms, or sundried tomatoes soaked in Venetian Prosecco and aged balsamic, or freshly sliced fried artichoke hearts or sous-vide purple courgettes, grilled over apple wood; and yet, hey, fairly simple is good.
So what's YOUR favourite burger?
