BBQ Brethren "National Burger Month" Throwdown! (Entries and Quality *CLEAN* Discussion Only)

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! :cool:

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:
 
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.

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

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