The True Hamburger

This is my official entry into the "National Burger Month" TD, please.

This story begins with my quest to submit "The True Hamburger,"-- ham as in pork, that is. Now it's first things first. As soon as I spied this pork butt for only 99 cents/lb., I knew I had to incorporate it.



First I slathered with a horseradish/dijon mayo. Then came the Chef Merito carne asada seasoning and lots of coarse pepper for rub.



Out to the pit to lightly smoke with a hickory/mesquite combo of all things. First several hours I averaged about a 260 degree temp.



Temp at 140 degrees:



Just before foiling at about 165. (Sky was getting dark outside):



After foiling and cool down. Took it to 195, and it was oh so soft and tender.



Pulled nice and easy:



Okay, now I could make some of my pulled pork chili with homemade red beans. Simmered it in a HOT enchilada sauce, and thickened with masa.



To keep along with this true burger plan, I fashioned some ground pork into patties and marinated them in light olive oil, balsamic vinegar, worcestershire, and coarse S&P. Then out to the pit. I let these smoke with mesquite on the indirect.





And here we have it, served open-faced on toasted whole wheat buns, with cheddar chunks and onions, and chili cheese fries. Yessir, I made a true pig of myself with a true pigburger.

Please use this following pic as my specific entry. Thanks!

Note to HT...

Jed, I apologize for any similarities between your entry and mine. I did not copy, I swear. I had this idea in mind before you even posted your fabulous entry. It's just a one of those "Great minds" moments.

BTW, your entry is just too cool with the branding marks!

Competition is all about like minded fools like us! No harm No Foul! I am flattered. :mrgreen:

Well heck, even I had time to enter a burger.



My gramma's secret is to stir in a big spoonful of sour cream to help keep these moist. Seasoned with the usual. :roll:



I like bacon, roast red peppers, ranch dressing, and lettuce. Just a normal Saturday burger for us.

Gore, that's a lovely burger! :clap2:

And you put parsley on it! Moose likes parsley! :thumb:

Great looking burger Gore!

This is like the Burger Superbowl! All Super entries!

Thin to Win Burgers!

Here's my official entry.

I have this tortilla press, and I've been dying to do something other than squash masa for tortilla's with it. I started out with 3 ounces of 80/20 ground beef. My wife rolled them out and my mom was using the press in the assembly line.




Flattened..



I actually setup my griddle on the gasser....quicker heat rebound with the cast and the quick cook of the very thin patties.



After the flip, but before the cheese...



The naked double cheese, before she was dressed....



All dressed up..



The gooey deliciousness....



Enjoy!

We finally have some open water so its time to fish.



But first we must build up our energy.


This my Brethren friends is a Double Chipotle Gouda Cheese Burger with Jalapeno Bacon and fried egg on top. Oh and a PBR.

You win! Fark, I forgot my egg. Darn it! That is a super Shot! WOW! Great job Oldyoye

White Castle Style. I like it, simmer them on minced onions and you've got my vote. Great Job!
Jed

I really should have made myself a burger for dinner instead of the crappy salad that I picked up.
