Pickle Stuffed Cheeseburgers Recipes

BUTTER BURGERS WITH CRISPY CHEESE SKIRTS AND ONION-PICKLE MARMALADE

Steps:

• For the onion-pickle marmalade: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the onions and pickles and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook until the mixture has reduced and become sticky, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• For the burgers: Mix the butter with the beef, salt and pepper in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined. Form 6 equal patties with your hands.
• Heat a griddle over medium-high heat until hot. Add the patties and cook until browned on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the patties again. Top 1 patty with a 4-ounce mound of the cheese and cover with a small metal bowl until the cheese melts and cascades around the patty to form a cheese "skirt." When the cheese skirt is crispy around the edges, carefully remove the bowl and transfer the patty with the attached cheese skirt to a plate. Repeat with the remaining patties and cheese.
• For the sauce: Stir the mayonnaise and steak sauce in a small bowl until combined. Dollop an equal amount on the bottom buns. Top with the lettuce, tomatoes and cheese-skirt patties. Dollop with the marmalade, close the burgers and serve right away.

GRILLED STUFFED CHEESEBURGER BUNS

Steps:

• Whisk the ketchup, mayonnaise, pickles and mustard in a small bowl until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Mix the ground beef, American cheese, red onion, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until well combined. Form the mixture into 8 small patties, each about 1 ounce and 2 inches in diameter.
• Divide the pizza dough into eight 2-ounce pieces. Working with one piece at a time, press the dough into a 4-inch round and place 1 cheeseburger patty into the center. Fold the edges of the dough over the patty, pinching it together in the center tightly so that the patty is completely covered and there is no gap for any cheese to spill out when cooking. Repeat with the remaining dough and patties. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to grill, up to 1 day.
• Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet onto the grill and prepare the grill for medium heat (about 350 degrees F).
• Once preheated turn the burner underneath the skillet off. Brush the tops of the buns with the olive oil and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Place the buns into the heated cast-iron skillet, spacing them apart so none of them are touching. Cover the grill and cook, using grilling tongs to pick up and reposition the buns occasionally so they don't burn on the bottom, until the buns are golden brown and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the buns cool for at least 15 minutes before serving with the special sauce on the side.

STUFFED FRIED PICKLES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• On a cutting board, slice the ends off the pickles and place vertically on the board.
• Using an apple corer, hollow out the pickles and reserve the centers for frying.
• Place a slice of ham on the cutting board and roll it around a string cheese stick.
• Stuff the ham-covered cheese stick in a hollow pickle. Repeat with the remaining ham, cheese, and pickles.
• Cut the stuffed pickles into ¼-inch (¾ cm) slices.
• Place the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs in 3 separate medium bowls. Dip each pickle slice in the flour, eggs, then panko, making sure each slice is fully coated.
• Dip each cored pickle center into flour, eggs, then panko, making sure each one is fully covered.
• Heat the oil in a medium pot until it reaches 375˚F (190˚C). Fry the pickle slices and cores for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Serve with spicy mayonnaise for dipping.
• Enjoy!

STUFFED DILL PICKLES

Steps:

• Cut off both ends of the dill pickles to create a flat surface.
• Using a thin potato peeler or a sharp knife or Uncle Bill's Dill Pickle Corer, and core out each dill pickle. (You can save the core for another use).
• Stand the pickles on end on paper towelling and let drain until all liquid is drained, about 30 minutes. In addition, run some rolled paper towelling through the core to remove any liquid that did not drain.
• Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, cream the cheese, add onion and garlic and mix until well blended. Add Tabasco sauce and mix well to blend.
• Using a cake decorator or a small spoon, stuff each pickle. Wrap the stuffed pickles in plastic wrap and refrigerate until cheese is firm, about 2 hours.
• Before serving, slice pickles into 3/4 inch slices and place slices on a serving plate. (Cover and refrigerate any unused pickles). These pickles are also good for lunches.
• You may also add some finely chopped Smoked Salmon to the filling, or some finely chopped black olives, or finely chopped cooked ham. Try mixing equal amounts of Cheese-Whiz and cream cheese, or use the different cream cheese that are available.
• NOTE: Uncle Bill has developed a stainless steel corer and is now available - z-mail me if you are interested.
