For the Rolls:
 
4 rolls

mayonnaise



To Make
 
Firstly combine all the sauce ingredients, mix well and set aside.
Mix all the patty ingredients thoroughly, leaving the salt for after the patties are cooked if you
prefer.
 
Make sure the mixture is cool. Divide mixture into 4 equal balls and mold into patties.

Cook on medium heat under the grill, on the barbecue or in a pan until the patty is cooked to your preferred degree of doneness or the internal temp reaches 160F/70C.

Baste the patties with a little of the sauce about a minute or two before they are done.

Split the rolls and toast the cut surfaces lightly (under grill, on barbecue or in pan) just before
the patties are done. Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half, add a thin slice of onion, some
lettuce, sliced tomato and the patty. Top the patty with a little of the sauce and the other half
of the roll.

Canadian Living's Ultimate Burger

By: Irene Fong and The Canadian Living Test Kitchen

• 1 cup fresh bread crumbs
• 2/3 cups sodium-reduced beef broth
• 450 g medium ground beef
• 450 ground sirloin
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 6 buns (hamburger, pretzel or pain au lait), split and toasted 

To Make:

In bowl, mix bread crumbs with broth; let stand for 5 minutes. In large baking dish, add beef and sirloin; sprinkle with bread crumb mixture, salt and pepper. Mix gently just until combined and no streaks of bread crumb mixture are visible (do not overmix).

Shape into six 5- x 1/2-inch (12 x 1 cm) patties. (Make-ahead: Layer between
parchment paper in airtight container; refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)

Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into patties reads 160°F (71°C), about 8 minutes. (Alternatively, cook patties in grill pan or skillet with up to 2 tsp olive oil over medium-high heat, turning once.) Serve in buns.

Change it up: The Ultimate Pub-Style Burger
Shape beef mixture into six 3 1/2- x 1-inch (9 x 2.5 cm) patties. Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill for 7 minutes. Turn patties and reduce heat to medium; close lid and grill until instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into patties reads 160°F (71°C), about 7 minutes. (Use smaller buns for these thicker patties.)

Tip from The Test Kitchen: Stirring the beef mixture together in a baking dish rather than a bowl allows you to evenly season the meat without handling it too much. For the most tender burgers, it's best not to overmix.

Jamie Oliver's Insanity burger (Ultimate indulgence)

“By brushing these burgers with mustard and Tabasco Chipotle sauce as they cook, you end up with an incredible gnarly layer of seasoning ”

• 800 g minced chuck steak
• olive oil
• 1 large red onion
• 1 splash of white wine vinegar
• 2 large gherkins
• 4 sesame-topped brioche burger buns
• 4-8 rashers of smoked streaky bacon
• 4 teaspoons American mustard
• Tabasco Chipotle sauce
• 4 thin slices of Red Leicester cheese
• 4 teaspoons tomato ketchup
• For the burger sauce:
• ¼ of an iceberg lettuce
• 2 heaped tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 heaped tablespoon tomato ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Tabasco Chipotle sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon brandy , or bourbon (optional) 

To Make:

1. Competition for the best burger in London has gone mad. Some burgers are gourmet and piled high with toppings, whereas others are thinner, simpler, wrapped in paper, steamy and sloppy. All I can say is my insanity burger is going to be right up there – the method is almost ritualistic in what it requires you to do to get close to burger perfection. I’ve also used the brilliant technique of brushing the burgers with mustard and a dash of Tabasco Chipotle sauce as they cook to build up an incredible gnarly layer of seasoning.
2. For the best burger, go to your butcher’s and ask them to mince 800g of chuck steak for you. This cut has a really good balance of fat and flavoursome meat. Divide it into 4 and, with wet hands, roll each piece into a ball, then press into flat patties roughly 12cm wide and about 2cm wider than your buns. Place on an oiled plate and chill in the fridge. Next, finely slice the red onion, then dress in a bowl with the vinegar and a pinch of sea salt. Slice the gherkins and halve the buns. Finely chop the lettuce and mix with the rest of the burger sauce ingredients in a bowl, then season to taste.
3. I like to only cook 2 burgers at a time to achieve perfection, so get two pans on the go – a large non-stick pan on a high heat for your burgers and another on a medium heat for the bacon. Pat your burgers with oil and season them with salt and pepper. Put 2 burgers into the first pan, pressing down on them with a fish slice, then put half the bacon into the other pan. After 1 minute, flip the burgers and brush each cooked side with ½ a teaspoon of mustard and a dash of Tabasco. After another minute, flip onto the mustard side and brush again with another ½ teaspoon of mustard and a second dash of Tabasco on the other side. Cook for one more minute, by which point you can place some crispy bacon on top of each burger with a slice of cheese. Add a tiny splash of water to the pan and place a heatproof bowl over the burgers to melt the cheese – 30 seconds should do it. At the same time, toast 2 split buns in the bacon fat in the other pan until lightly golden. Repeat with the remaining two burgers.
4. To build each burger, add a quarter of the burger sauce to the bun base, then top with a cheesy bacon burger, a quarter of the onions and gherkins. Rub the bun top with a teaspoon of ketchup, then gently press together. As the burger rests, juices will soak into the bun, so serve right away, which is great, or for an extra filthy experience, wrap each one in greaseproof paper, then give it a minute to go gorgeous and sloppy.

Tasty Turkey Burgers

By Manda

My favorite recipe for turkey burgers. Just enough seasonings to make them so much tastier than just plain old turkey burgers, plus the bread crumbs and other added ingredients "bulk up" the turkey, helping you to get more bang for your buck. I always have a few of these in the freezer for summer barbecues when I don't care to eat beef hamburgers (I have been known to tote one or two of these along with me to family barbecues to throw on the grill whenever I know that beef burgers are going to be the only main dish)

• 1 lb ground turkey
• ¹⁄₂ cup dry breadcrumbs (I use whole wheat)
• 3 tablespoons onions, minced
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon paprika
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon liquid red pepper seasoning (optional)
• black pepper, to taste
• 6 hamburger buns, to serve

To Make:

1. Combine all ingredients in large bowl.
2. Shape into 6 patties.
3. Pan-fry, broil, or grill until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
4. Serve in hamburger buns with desired toppings.
5. My fave toppings: lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, ketchup, and fat-free/light mayo.

Chile Con Queso Cheeseburger

By NcMysteryShopper

If you love Chile con Queso, sink you teeth into this cheesy gooey burger for a real taste explosion! Have a napkin and some tortilla chips ready to catch what your mouth misses because you will want to save every bite! Beer Recommendation: A rich malty, roasty beer that absorbs the heat and provides a great counterpart to chilies and grilled meat is a good choice to pair with these burgers. If you happen to find a Noche Buena, a great dark beer from Mexico, this would be my first choice. Second would be Negra Modelo, a slightly sweet brew with some fruitiness, it's malty for a Mexican beer and goes well with Anaheim and Jalapenos.

• 2 anaheim chilies
• 2 jalapenos
• extra virgin olive oil
• 1 large garlic clove, unpeeled
• 1 tablespoon tomatoes, finely diced into very tiny cubes, no seeds or 1 tablespoon juice
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon cumin
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon chili powder
• ¹⁄₂ cup monterey jack cheese, Shredded (you can use Caciotta as well)
• ¹⁄₂ cup cheddar cheese or ¹⁄₂ cup longhorn cheese, shredded
• salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 1 ¹⁄₂ lbs ground beef
• 4 kaiser rolls or 4 onion topped hamburger buns, split
• lettuce leaf, for serving
• sliced onion, for serving
• sliced tomatoes, for serving
• mayonnaise, for serving
• ketchup, for serving

 To Make:

1. Light your grill and when it is heated brush the grate with oil. Put the Anaheims in a small bowl with olive oil and toss to coat. Thread the jalapeños and garlic onto a metal skewer or a wooden one that has been soaked in water and grill until blackened all over. Repeat with the Anaheims using grill tongs to turn. Peel and remove stems and seeds from the chilies and discard. Peel garlic. Add tomatoes to a small bowl. Chop the chiles and garlic and add to the tomatoes. Fold in the cheeses, sprinkle with cumin, and chili powder and season with salt and pepper, toss.
2. Cut eight 6"squares of wax paper; divide the beef among them. Pat each portion into a 5" round pattie that is a little thicker in the center. Using a 1/4 cup measure, mound one-fourth of the cheese mixture in the centers of 4 patties. Top with the remaining patties; press the edges to seal and pat smooth. Pat the centers so that the burgers are even. Brush with oil and season with salt and pepper. Brush the insides of the rolls with oil.
3. Brush the grate with a little more oil and grill the burgers over a hot fire, turning once, about 7 minutes for medium to medium-rare meat. Lightly toast the rolls on the grill. Place the burgers on the rolls and top with lettuce leaves, onion and tomato. Serve with mayonnaise and ketchup.

The Towering Inferno! Chilli, Coconut and Coriander Pork Burger

By French Tart
This is one of my own burger recipes; I made this up one evening when we both fancied a burger, but we also wanted one with a bit of a kick, plus I needed to use up some pork sausage meat! It is such an easy recipe and yet it delivers on taste - PLEASE adjust the heat to your own requirements; it is also a very BIG burger, hence the name! Serve this burger in a standard burger bun, maybe in a ciabatta roll, or with flat breads. A side salad and baked jacket potato would also fit the bill if you are very hungry. I am very proud to say that one of my photos of this burger came first in the Bring on the Burgers Photo Competition. The photo was called Blinded by the Light, and the photo taken indoors with the strong back light. I won a Recipezaar apron, which I now wear all the time whilst I grill and barbeque! NB: You MUST use high quality, high meat content sausage meat or sausages for these burgers; the cheaper high fat content ones, will JUST not work at all! 

• 600 g pork sausage or 600 g pork sausages
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely diced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander leaves (cilantro)
• 2 tablespoons coconut cream (from a block that has been softened)
• 1 teaspoon dried chipotle powder, to taste
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground cumin
• salt and black pepper, to taste

Sauce

• 4 tablespoons homemade mayonnaise (or good quality commercial mayonnaise)
• 1 lime, juice and zest of, grated
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
• salt and pepper

To Serve

• chili relish
• barbecue sauce
• lettuce
• onion, slices
• cheese slice
• tomatoes
• dill pickle
• hamburger bun

 
To Make:

1. If your coconut cream is very hard, soften it in the microwave for about 10 seconds - or leave it in a warm place until it is malleable.
2. Put the sausage meat or skinned sausages in to a large bowl and add the all the remaining burger ingredients.
3. Mix it all together with your hands, making sure that all the seasonings and herbs have been distributed throughout the burger mix.
4. Shape in to 4 burgers/patties and chill them in the fridge for about 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm up.
5. Meanwhile, make the mayonnaise sauce: mix all the seasonings and herbs into the mayonnaise - set to one side in the fridge until needed.
6. Heat the barbecue or grill and brush the pan or rack with a little oil to prevent the burgers sticking. Cook the burgers for about 5 minutes on each side or until the juices run clear when you pierce the centre. Serve on toasted burger buns with the lime and garlic mayonnaise and your choice of accompaniments.
7. Take a photo and have a glass of wine or beer! Cheers!
