A classmate decided to throw a party at her place. I offered to help with the food, as there was a hamburger recipe that I wanted to test out.
Ingredients:
ground beef, 80/20 meat/fat ratio
mild italian sausage, no casing
sliced mushrooms
ketchup
french onion soup mix
garlic, pepper, salt, basil
Mix all of the above together and shape into VERY thin and wide patties. Punch a hole in the middle.
Cook and serve on a toasted sesame bun with lettuce, tomatoes, mustard, and mayo.
That was the gameplan, at least. When I arrived at her house, I scoped out the situation. She didn't have an apron to work in, so we commissioned a tie-dye shirt as chef's uniform. There were a few problem factors: No cutting board, limited counter space, only frying pans with no lids. The first two factors resulted in her nicked thumb and some tidying up, respectively.
The cleanliness didn't last for long, unfortunately. Without a grill to drain the grease, or a lid to catch it, the panfrying quickly got out of control, splattering as high as my forehead. I eventually drained the grease after every burger into a mug.
But after all of this, the burgers came out excellent. I need to do it a few more times to perfect the recipe and method, but unfortunately it works best as a bulk recipe. Sign me up for more parties!
