Beer Burger Recipe

Good Day People!


I was thinking that I should share my Super Secret Burger recipe with all of you. Okay, it's not really that big of a secret, or hard to do as a matter of fact. You don't even have to mix your own burger meat. You can use frozen patties from the supermarket.

If you are going to mix your own burger meat, I suggest 80%-20% of ground beef. If you want to get fancy use 50,25,25 mixture of 80%-20% ground beef, ground turkey, and ground pork or lamb.

Burger Patties:

2 lbs. Ground Beef or Meat mixture
2 Lg. Eggs
1 cup Bread Crumbs or Panko Crumbs
1 tsp. Chopped Garlic
1 tsp. Worcester Sauce
1 tbsp. Chopped Parsley
1 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes (optional or increase for more heat)
1/2 cup Any Light Beer. You will use the rest at grilling.

Mix all together and form patties. Easy right? Pattie size really doesn't matter, just don't make one or two huge burgers from this. 4 1/2 pounders which a big enough. I usually make 8 1/4 pounders from this. Just remember when making the patties, make the inside of the patties thinner then that out side, for even cooking on the grill. Then freeze the patties on wax paper separating them, and also in a freezer bag.

Grill Seasoning for the Grill.
1 part Sugar
1 part Sea Salt
1 part Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
1 part Garlic Salt with Parsley

Just mix in a little bowl, and now you have my Super Secret Burger Grilling Spice!

BBQ TIME! Pull out the patties out from the freezer and place on oiled, medium/high preheated grill. On top of the burgers pour a little of your light beer and a about 2 pinches of the grilling spice. The beer should fizz a little when you do this. Then repeat when you flip the burgers. 5 to 6 minutes per side for well done for 1/4 pounders.

I made this recipe for the seasoning down at the beach two years ago, when I found out that we didn't have bread or ketchup for the frozen store bought burgers. Funny thing was that they were eating the burgers right off the plate like wild dogs. They all said that it was the most fantastic burgers they tasted. Like mama always says "Make do with what you have". Not to toot my own horn but they were great burgers.

Like always, Enjoy and "CHEERS!"
