So it's getting on to summer, or at least it is if you don't live in Anchorage, Alaska, where it snowed yesterday.
Summertime for most of us means busting out the board shorts (or bikinis), the flip flops, the sun glasses, and the mai tais. It also means the backyard barbecue.
Store bought burgers are thin, flat, and flash frozen with liquid nitrogen. They are usually less than tasty. But if you buy ground beef and make your own patties, they fall apart on the grill! It seems the only remedy is to throw in an egg or two, and add crackers, but who wants to eat the 'meatloaf' burger? Really, I'd like to meet this person.
So here's my summertime burger recipe:
Ryan's Recession-Proof Burgers:
Mix together:
1/4 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce
1/8 cup of worcester sauce
1tbs Montreal steak seasoning
1tbs Frank's Red Hot sauce
Mix this up into a dish you can carry around, and when you throw burgers on the grill, right when they star to warm up, brush this on them. When they're done cooking, put the burger together however you like it: lettuce, tomato, onions, etc. Points for awesome if you throw blue cheese or goat cheese on top. Serve with Murphy's Stout, or other acceptable dark brew (Black Butte porter, for example).
Anyone else have some barbecue suggestions?
