Joe Burgers On The Grill Recipe
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- Grnd beef - no more than 85% lean (you want a little fat in there or possibly they will turn into hockey pucks on the grill). 1 small egg per lb. of grnd beef (less is more with this ingredient. You do not want to end up with scrambled Large eggs). Salt to taste. Black pepper to taste. Minced, dry red pepper (powdered cayenne pepper is an excellent substitute). A big, fat, juicy vidalia onion. Beer (no lite beer and nothing stout). Sliced American cheese.
Directions
- Place your grnd beef, Large eggs, salt, black pepper and red pepper in a mixing bowl. You can be frugal with the salt and black pepper but go ahead and be generous with the redpepper. You only live once, right Mix thoroughly.
- Make as many hand-sized balls as you have meat for. I like to make about three per lb.. Then flatten into patties. Cut your onion into slices about a quarter inch thick. You do not want them too thick because you're going to grill them. Place a slice of onion on the grill and put a hamburger patty right on top of it. Let it grill on the onion side a little longer because the onion will absorb a lot of heat and the hamburger will take longer to cook. Flip
- (Carefully! You do not want to lose which onion. I recommend a thin metal spatula.) and cook on the meat side. At this point I like to dribble a little beer over the onion to let the flavor soak into the burger. When they are just about ready to come off the grill heat a piece of cheese over the onion. This helps to keep the onion from sliding off the burger. Serve them on sections of French bread split down the middle. These burgers are too big and juicy for flimsy little hamburger buns.
