HAMBURGER RECIPE

Steps:

• Make burger seasoning by combining all spices in a bowl. Set aside.
• Divide ground chuck into 6 equal portions and gently from into 1/2 inch thick patties that are wider than the burger buns (as they will shrink). Use your thumb to press an indentation into the center of each patty. Cover and set aside.
• Preheat grill to medium high heat. Just before cooking, sprinkle seasoning over the patties, then place on hot grill, indent-side up. Close grill lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the bottom of the burger is seared and juices are accumulating on top of the burger. Flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until the beef reaches 160 degrees F.
• Place cheese on burgers during the last minute of cooking. Remove to a plate and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving in a bun, with toppings.

HAMBURGER DOGS

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
• In a large bowl, combine ground beef, seasoning packet, ketchup, bread crumbs, and egg. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. Shape into hot dog forms. Grill for approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Serve on hot dog buns with more ketchup, relish, and chopped onions.

OLYMPIC BURGERS

Steps:

• Prepare hot grill.
• Combine hamburger, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Form into 8 patties.
• Sprinkle 1 ½ tablespoons feta over 4 patties. Top with the other 4 patties and seal edges.
• Place patties on an oiled grill and cook 8-10 minutes.
• Serve on toasted buns.

ALL-AMERICAN BURGER DOG

Steps:

• Place half the ground beef on a sheet of plastic wrap. Pat it into a rectangular shape, about 1/2 inch thick, 8 1/2 inches long, and 4 inches wide. Season with salt and pepper. Roll the beef into a log, using the plastic wrap as a guide. Season with more salt and pepper. Wrap the plastic tightly around the log and twist both ends tight. Pat gently to slightly flatten. Repeat with remaining ground beef.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove the burger dogs from the plastic wrap and place on the grill, perpendicular to the grates. Cook until burgers are browned but still pink inside, 4 to 5 minutes, flip, and cook another 2 to 3 minutes. Place a slice of cheese on each burger dog and grill to medium doneness (an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 140 degrees F/60 degrees C). Remove and rest 3 to 4 minutes.
• Toast hot dog buns on the grill and spread each with 2 teaspoons mayonnaise. Place burger dog on each bun and squirt 1 tablespoon of ketchup on top.
