Build a better burger: Part II

[fire34fighter]

I was trying to find a good burger thread, which I did here:
discusscooking.com/forums/f36/better-burger-23355.html

So I tried to bump it to see if there were any new ideas, and it turns out I can't because the thread is over a year old. So I figured I'd make a new thread, and see what everyone does to spice up their burgers.


Edit: just noticed I put this in the grill section, if a MOD wanted to move it into the general outdoor forum I wouldn't oppose.

I've been doing Italian burgers on the grill this summer, a mix of hamburger and Italian sausage, parmesan, grated onion, oregano, garlic... top it with either pizza sauce or a reduced tomato sort of catsup but with Italian seasonings. I use provolone for a cheeseburger.

I normally use a dash of garlic powder, a dash of onion powder and a splash of Louisiana Hot Sauce for just a hint of heat (I prefer it over Tabasco), and sometimes a splash of BBQ sauce to my meat mixture. The BBQ sauce really gives it a sweet (but not too sweet) and smoky flavor before it even hits the grill! This most likely isn't original, but it's darn good!

I usually mince some bacon in a food proccessor and add it to my ground beef. The fat renders into the meat w hile it cooks so they are so juicy, and get that smoky bacon flavour we all love.

Oh, yeah, bacon!!! Maybe between all of us pitching in ideas, we'll build the ultimate burger!!! LOL!
