Burgers just in time for FUN IN THE SUN!!

are you tired of making the same old burgers on the grill?
you know the ones... pre-frozen patties that you put Kraft singles on?

well if you are having an upcoming BBQ and you want to spice it up here is 4 ways you can do just that!!

first i want you to know that i started with about 6lbs of ground beef. (i made mini burgers 4 ways but I'm going to break them down so you can make the burger of your choice) I seasoned all the ground beef the same. I used salt, Pepper, Garlic and some McCormick Mesquite seasoning. I took about a tsp of the meat pan fried it to make sure it was was good to go adjusted my seasoning and was good to go.i also pre-shaped all my burgers using a ramekin so all i had to do was throw them on the grill.

phew. now that, that is out of the way comes how to dress your burgers or stuff them...

first burger!! THE GREEK BURGER!!

to make it a Greek burger i took 7 patties(i had 7 guests over) and stuffed them with feta cheese. put them back in the fridge and went to prep what i was going to top it off with,

so i made fresh Tzatziki sauce to top all the burgers with.

TZATZIKI SAUCE

Greek yogurt plain.17oz (also makes a good veggie dip)
1 cucumber small diced
2 good sized cloves of garlic (minced or put though garlic press)
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 lemons depending on size.
2tbs of chopped dill

 you can either make this in the container like i did or in a separate bowl
 you going to add everything in mix and let sit over night. i don't think it taste as good unless it sits. or just make it first thing in the morning.

when i assembled this burger stuffed with feta i added thin slices of avocado on top as well as this yummy yogurt sauce. it was a big hit!!. i hope i explained this well.




BURGER OPTION #2

THE BLUE BURGER!!!

once again i took 7 mini patties stuffed them with blue cheese and set them aside until i was ready to cook.

topping!!

i topped this blue burger off with sauteed mushrooms and onions.also lettuce and tomato. simple enough right?




BURGER OPTION #3

THE SPICY JALAPENO ONION RING BURGER!!!


i did nothing special to the patties but topped them with some pepper jack cheese

i made homemade onion rings and a semi homemade jalapeno aoli
since this is a long post already i wont go into detail on how to make the onion rings but i will tell you how to make the awesome aoli!

Jalapeno aoli

1/2 cup of Hellman's mayo with olive oil
3 jalapenos
2 cloves garlic
s&p to taste

 so 2 of those jalapenos your going to smoke. while the other one you just use half of. be warned this will be a spicy spicy mayo.
after your done smoking the jalapenos, you going to add them and everything else to a robo coupe or blender and blend until smooth. you can taste but remember spicy spicy spicy!!
when i assembled the burgers i topped with 2 onion rings and the spicy mayo and served. my friends who loves spicy food added alot of this to there burgers lol.

LAST BURGER
BURGER OPTION #4
SMOKED CHEDDAR BACON BURGER!!

now this is a take on a classic burger
