Australian Style Hamburger Recipes

AUSTRALIAN HAMBURGER

Steps:

• Collect together sliced cold ingredients (cheese, beat slice(s), tomato, lettuce, pineapple) and put aside. On a griddle set to 350 degrees, (medium high) grill seasoned & moistened (with bread crumbs already mixed in) mince (hamburger), onion, egg (in egg ring & break the yoke), bacon. Make sure onions are WELL DONE! Add even more if you need to. (I do)! :-) Lightly butter toasted buns. Spread sauce on bun. Together with cooked ingredients, build the hamburger. Salt & Pepper to taste. Enjoy with a nice cold beer. Tips: Slowly fry the egg! Break the yoke so that you don't 'wear' it! Lightly fried tomato slice adds sweetness and even more 'body' to the flavor. If you like, lightly grill the pineapple along with the other cooked ingredients also. I made this for some of my 'American' friends. I said, "Don't 'knock it' until you try it". I finished up making another 6! :-)

AUSSIE WORKS BURGER

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
• When the grill is ready, lightly oil the grilling surface. Form the ground beef into four patties, and grill for 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions, and fry until soft. Remove the onions from the skillet, and crack the eggs in the same skillet over medium heat. Cook until the yolks are solid, turning over once. Remove eggs, and set aside. Place the Canadian bacon in the same skillet, and fry until toasted. Remove the bacon, and turn the heat to high. Quickly fry the pineapple rings in the bacon drippings just until browned on each side.
• To Assemble sandwiches: Set bottom of kaiser roll on a plate, and top with burger, a slice of cheese, a slice of Canadian bacon, one fried egg, fried onions, a few slices of beet, a slice of pineapple, a slice of tomato, and a leaf of lettuce. Decorate the top bun with ketchup, mustard, relish and mayonnaise as desired. Place over the burger. Repeat with remaining burgers.
