Burgers

With the warmer weather comes more opportunities to break out the grill. We were in the mood for a nice juicy burgers yesterday so here is the recipe I use. It is very simple, but turned out yummy:

Ground Beef
1/2-1 packet onion soup mix (I buy onion soup mix in bulk and add about 2-3 T. per pounds of meat)
a couple shakes steak sauce (per pound of meat)

Mix it all together with your hands and form into nice big patties. Sprinkle with salt. Have your husband grill them to perfection and eat them outside with you favorite toppings. We love grilled onions and avocado!

What is your best basic burger recipe?? I'm curious.

Andee said...: This recipe is not exactly basic, but they were so good! For each burger you need 1/2 lb beef. Combine beef with 1TBS Dijon mustard and 1 TBS wostishire sauce. Form into 2 1/4lb patties. top one patty with 2 TBS Gorgonzola and 1 TBS crumbled, cooked bacon. Place the other patty on top and seal the edges. Then cook it. On the side, slice an apple into thin rings. Grill them along with the burgers. Top the burger with apple, red onions and more gorgonzola. Soooo gooood. (we fed the kids hot dogs); 9:00 AM
Aly sun said...: I love grilled hamburgers. In fact, I had a left over grilled hamburger at 10pm last night because I can't get enough.

I sprinkle the meat with: garlic salt, wirst, seasoning salt, pepper. Grill on ridiculous BBQ that has 12" flames on one side and none on the other... save pennies to buy hubby a new one for father's day.; 8:27 AM

About the cooks

Alysun: I learned to cook while in Africa 4 years ago when I was forced to cook from scratch. I didn't have a clue away from the comforts of my culture's ready-made food selections. Now, as a mother to 2 small girls, and a wife to a hungry farmer, I love to cook good, healthy food for my family.

Andrea: I have always loved to bake, cookies especially, but cooking was never "my thing." I had my husband convinced I couldn't do much besides boil water for the first year of our marriage. But my husband likes food and he like variety. PB and J and Top Ramen didn't cut the mustard. So I broke out the cook books and figured out it's not so bad. I enjoy cooking now and look forward to trying new recipes. Cookies are still my favorite.

Annie: My food loves are pies, casseroles, birthday cakes, and holiday food! As a single woman I knew only of toaster waffles and sandwiches. When I got married I discovered that not only did I like to cook, I wasn't too bad at it either. I live in Portland Oregon with my husband and one year old son. In a former life I was a kindergarten teacher.

Jeana: I'm just recently discovering how much fun cooking can be. Dinner time used to always feel like a chore and I felt limited by my family's meager food budget. By getting organized, menu planning, and learning fool-proof recipes from other moms I am experiencing a whole new way to be creative.

Kelleigh: As the second oldest of 10 children, I was forced into cooking for an army at a young age. Fortunately, I "studied" under my father, the man who throws in "a little of this and a little of that", so I'm not really afraid to experiment and modify when needed. I am now cooking for my own little, tiny family (there are only 4 of us!) and REALLY enjoy being able to cook better food on a smaller scale. I'm always on the look-out for recipes that have a gourmet taste without the outlandish ingredients or price.

Lindsay: Growing up I loved to bake and my mom's only rule was, "as long as you do the dishes". When I got married, my sister-in-law made me a recipe book of all the Button family favorite recipes and it became one of my most used tools in learning to cook for my husband. Today, I'm an avid meal planner, and find cooking for my family of 5 fun and gratifying (most of the time!) And my husband and I have worked out a sweet deal: I cook, he does the dishes!
