  • Of all the foods there are a good burger tops my list. I’ve found that the number one thing to get a perfect burger is using fresh ground 80/20 beef. No pink slime and other crap in it.

    The leaner the meat the harder it is to not overcook it. Frankly the fat in a burger is what gives it that good greasy burger deliciousness, but at the same time has the “eww fat” thing. I’m a Jack Sprat type myself so l like a really lean meat, so l gotta do something with the meat to add moisture back. Minced onion helps. Egg too. Any other suggestions?

    When we do lean turkey burgers I mix in shredded zucchini for moisture along with spices. Sounds weird but tastes good.

    That sounds fantastic! What is your rough ratio of ground meat to shredded zucchini?

    Burgers should be 80/20.

    Here's a Family favorite from Mr Food...

    Pepper Parmesan Burgers

     
    • 1 1/4 pounds ground beef
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 2 teaspoons black pepper
    • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
    • 1/4 cup water
    • 4 hamburger buns, split

    In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients; mix well. Divide the mixture into 4 equal amounts and make 4 patties.
    I only use fresh ground sea salt & fresh ground peppercorns. Also, grating your own Parmesan Reggiano is fantastic!

    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and pan-fry the patties for 7 to 9 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the juices run clear.

    ∆  Sometimes a relatively simple and easy recipe just hits the spot. We often use bread crumbs in ground beef preparations.

    The seasoned bread crumbs also work well.

    So when you start adding eggs and bread crumbs to hamburgers, aren't you just making meatballs that you eat with a bun? 

    (I swear to dog that this exact argument nearly caused guys I know to come to blows years ago ?)

    Essentially yes but on the grill they have a good complex flavor.  Bread crumb recipes many years back used to be done to stretch the meat budget and feed more people for less, some good recipes have come out of those austere times.

    Even simpler is using that green lettuce stuff in things like pizza, chicken, burgers etc.

    Green lettuce in those recipes or on or with them?   (as a topping or garnish)

    No.  We're taking recipes that you prepare at home and what goes in them and how cooked, etc.

    Homemade buttermilk pie tastes far better than it may sound.

    Ingredients

    • 3 eggs
    • 2 cups sugar
    • 1/2 cup (one stick) melted butter a little bit cooled
    • 3 tablespoons flour
    • 1 cup buttermilk
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg (sprinkled over the pie batter in the pie shell)
    • pinch of salt
    • 1 9-inch pie crust, unbaked (see option below-I prefer it)

    Instructions

    • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar.
    • Whisk in remaining ingredients (excluding nutmeg) until smooth.
    • Pour into prepared pie crust. (optional to bake that @ 350 for 10 min. Helps set the bottom crust)
    • Bake at 400 for 10 minutes.
    • Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue bake for 45-50 minutes.
    • After 30 minutes total I would shape a layer of tin foil around & covering the edge of the pie crust to prevent too much overbrowning. Keep the pie "innards" open to the oven or it will end up too runny inside. Use a toothpick to see if the middle has "set" when done. Use judgement on that so the outer batter isn't over-cooked. Use the old fashioned southern method and finger it. LOL!?
