Hamburgers

The key to making anything is to use the most quality, fresh ingredients. When making burgers don't just pick up whatever meat you find in the grocery store. If it's within your budget, try to find organic and grass-fed beef. Also remember while making burgers not to overwork the meat. Overworked burgers tend to be more tough and less yielding in juicy flavor. Here's my take on burgers:

Happy Burgers
Makes 6 servings.
Ingredients:

• 2 Lbs organic grass-fed ground beef (85% lean, 15% fat)
• 3 Egg yolks
• 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard (preferably Grey Poupon- it really makes a difference)
• 2 Tbsp Dale's Steak Seasoning
• 1 Tsp Fresh ground salt
• 1 Tsp Fresh ground pepper
• 6 Onion sandwich buns

In a large bowl mash all ingredients together with a fork. Do not overwork the meat. Scoop a small handful of meat out- approximately 1/3 pound. Form it into a ball and on a cutting board mash it down with your hand. Sprinkle each side of the burgers with additional fresh ground salt and pepper.

Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the burgers about 3-5 minutes on each side. When the burgers are done, cover with tinfoil and let rest at least five minutes before serving. Toast the sandwich buns face down in the skillet you cooked the burgers in.

Serve with mayonnaise, dijon mustard, sliced tomatoes, sliced red onions, bacon, and Vermont cheddar cheese.

Bon app!
