My husband likes to think of himself as a grilling expert (to be honest- I have never grilled anything in my entire life! He is the grill-er in our family).
Before I married him, I really didn't eat that much meat. In fact, I really didn't like much else besides chicken . . . until he introduced me to all the wonderful foods that can be made on a grill.
I never really liked steak until he cooked me the perfect one- cooked rare. Oh. My. Goodness. It was divine! He teases me that I am more of a man than he is because I like my steak cooked so rare. Ha ha! (Don't worry- I now order my steaks medium rare so I don't gross out the people around me)
Anyway, "The Master of the Grill" is always looking for the next best thing and I think that we have found it with this hamburger recipe. The burgers were moist, flavorful, and delicious. They will definitely be a repeat for us this summer!
P.S. The secret sauce is like icing on the cake!! You have to try it!
The Best Hamburger Recipe (and secret sauce)
Ingredients:
Burger:
1 lb ground beef (I used 85/15- you want a fattier meat to make a juicier burger!)
sesame seed buns
1/2 cup Monterrey jack cheese, grated
1/4 cup BBQ sauce
seasoned salt to taste
cracked black pepper
onion powder
Secret Sauce:
3/4 cup of mayo
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup relish
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
seasoned salt
Directions:
- Combine the ground beef, grated cheese, bbq sauce, and seasonings. Shape patties that are about 1 inch thick. With the 1 pound of ground beef I made 5 large patties.
- Turn grill up to high and let it get hot.
- Reduce heat to medium-high and place the burgers on the grill. Allow this side of the patty to cook for about 4-6 minutes, but make sure it doesn’t burn. Then flip the burger over and cook until done.
- For the sauce: Combine all ingredients and whisk until well mixed. Taste and adjust ingredients to your liking.
- Assemble the burgers and serve with the special sauce, avocado, lettuce, tomato, cheese, pickles and your other favorite hamburger toppings!

ReplyDeleteThis sauce is very similar to the Survival Sauce I make (to help us deal with not having In-N-Out Burger in Georgia) -- I'll have to try the Worcestershire sauce! And we've learned from Five Guys Burgers & Fries to shake some McCormick Cajun seasoning on our fries!
ReplyDeleteI love this sauce .. I have been making it for years. My secret salad dressing is this sauce mixed with natural rice vinegar. I have caught my friends licking the salad bowl .. True!

Trying this recipe right now...burgers are about to go on the grill! Can't wait to try them!! Just wondering, though, do you have a favorite brand of seasoning salt you use? Thanks so much for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteI really like Lawry's, but right now I just have a random store-brand in my cupboard. :) I am not picky.
DeleteDoes leaving out the cheese make a huge difference?
ReplyDeleteI think that they would still be fine without the cheese! It shouldn't make that big of a difference at all.
DeleteI just tried this last night and it was great! Thanks for all the great recipes!
