Seal the circumfrence to keep the juice in and heat and eat for a burger with a kick.
This was back in Canada, I cant seem to source fresh or grated horse radish in NZ.......only stuff with sweet mayo in it, barf me out!

i like to add some worchester, soy, garlic, pepper, onion, egg, a package of ramen crushed up, but not the flavor pack. i call it my Magget Burger. Spark up the barbie.

[black chef]

1 lb fresh ground lamb
1 lb fresh ground beef (80/20) and NOT lean ground beef
kosher salt & fresh cracked black pepper
sweet basil
crushed mint
garlic powder
dash of cayenne pepper
dash of brown sugar
sprinkle of worchestire sauce

mix well and let set for about 30 min.

i don't like grilled burgers... i just pan sear and throw them in the oven for a few minutes.

place between pita bread and apply yogurt on one side, mayo on the other side.

REMEMBER: DO NOT USE A FORK ON YOUR BURGERS... TURN WITH TONGS and don't press them.

Gary it is good that you joined DC. I don't have a BBQ but I do like black chef's receipt because I always make my burgers in the oven.

You will really like our cooking site because there are very special and wonderful cooks and chefs and there is a lot to learn from them.

Most everyone has a good sense of humor and are truely nice people.

Happy Sunday.

I just found this recipe today for making basic meatballs. It is simular to your burger recipe. They should taste pretty good. What do you think?

1 pound of ground chuck
1/4 tsp.onion salt
1/4 tsp.garlic salt
1/4 tsp. celery salt
Pinch of pepper

Combine and roll into bite size meatballs.

Sounds nice. The name puts me off though

IMO, less is more. All I want is good ground chuck, salt and pepper. I like it cooked just until the pink is gone, so it's still juicy. I prefer it grilled, but I make some awfully good ones in the electric skillet, also.

OK - don't kick me out of this thread for asking this horrible question, but has anyone had experience with all these great additions to ground beef, but using them with a meat substitute of some sort? You can buy a powdered mix at the store that makes a decent veggie burger, and I am wondering now if I could try some of your great ideas I read here, but in veggie burger mix.

I use 80% ish beef for my burgers. Wooster sauce, salt and pepper on the patties. Some toppings would be sauteed onion, Sandwich Topper pickle slices, Woebers Horseradish sauce, sliced bell pepper.

A real good combo is cheddar, sliced tomato, Woebers and ketchup.

I do not know for sure, but I would think there would be no reason you could not apply these same things to veggie burgers.
