TEXAS CHEESEBURGER

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add oats, butter, milk powder, egg yolk, sugar, salt and 1 cup of flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate egg white., Punch dough down and shape into a ball. Press into a greased 9-in. round baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly doubled, about 45 minutes. Brush with egg white; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool., Combine the first four burger ingredients; crumble beef over mixture and mix well. On a greased broiler pan, shape meat mixture into an 8-1/2-in. patty. , Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. To serve, split bun in half. Place lettuce, burger and cheese on bun bottom; replace top. Cut into wedges.

TEXAS ROADHOUSE STYLE BURGERS

Steps:

• 1. For this recipe I use my electric skillet. This way I can cook all 4 burgers at once, and they do not fall through the grill grate, and they will if you use this method.
• 2. On a plate fluff your freshly ground beef chuck.
• 3. Lightly salt and pepper your beef and fluff again-around 1/2 teaspoon each.
• 4. Divide your meat into 4 equal portions.
• 5. Carefully draw each patty together-it will look like a large meatball barely holding together.
• 6. Heat your electric skillet to 400 degrees.
• 7. Add oil and swish it around so the bottom of skillet is covered.
• 8. Carefully transfer each "meatball" to the hot skillet.
• 9. Take a spatula and place it on top of the first "meatball".
• 10. Using a CLEAN can press down hard to form your first patty.
• 11. Repeat with the other 3. These should be large rounds.
• 12. Cook for 4-5 minutes, then flip. You want a nice, brown crust. Not tan, brown.
• 13. Brush the tops of your burgers with BBQ sauce-be generous.
• 14. Cook for an additional 4 minutes.
• 15. Remove to a platter and now fry your buns.
• 16. When golden brown remove buns to plate.
• 17. Brush buns with remaining BBQ sauce.
• 18. On the bottom of the buns place a slice of cheese, then a burger patty, then your pickles, onions, tomato and top with 1/4 cup creamy slaw.
• 19. Top with bun and eat.
• 20. In order to eat these you will need to adopt the "lean" stance, regardless of whether you are standing or sitting. If you are standing lean out to take a bite, if sitting do the same. These are MESSY and JUICY and you will be wearing it if you do not "lean".
• 21. Serve with fries or onion rings.

THE TEXAS SQUEALER BURGER

Steps:

• Begin by chopping the raw bacon finely with a sharp knife. I slice it in half, then in strips, then dice it. The key is to make it small. I do not recommend a food processor because it heats the bacon up too much and can become gummy.
• Gently mix all ingredients in a large bowl and add the bacon. Form into 6-8 patties and put in the freezer for 30 minutes before grilling. This is not a necessary step, but I think the meat holds together nicely when the patties go on cold.
• Grill patties approximately 5 minutes on each side. Allow them to rest 5 minutes before serving.
• Top with cheese if you wish and any of your favorite toppings.
