Well, it's been ages since I cooked hamburgers - it's
so much work and beef it so expensive (compared to pork
which is mostly what I buy). Anyhoo, ground chuck was
on sale for $1.99/lb. in the family pack. So I got some.
Been having a hamburger for dinner every night this week.
I preformed the patties in my Tupperware hamburger patty
former/storer thingy (I have no idea what it's called -
you have little round things that stack on top of each
other and theres a thing for pressing the meat into the
containers, then you stack them on top of each other and
add the lid on the last one. Then you can stick it in the
freezer. I line mine with plastic wrap so it's easier to
remove the patties.) I thaw each patty overnight in the
fridge for the next days meal.

First fry up some bacon and set aside. Fry patty in some
of the bacon fat. Slice a thick slice off a large ripe
tomato. Slice a thin slice off a large Vidalia onion.
Take a leave of Romaine and remove the topmost green leaf
part and then cut in half across the middle. Slice some
cheddar cheese. Slice a hamburger bun (couldn't find any
good ones so got some store-bakery Kaiser rolls instead -
they're okay.)

Slather Miracle Whip on bottom of bun. Turn hamburger
and top with bacon and cheddar. Cover pan and cook till
cheese is mostly melted (sometimes I cook a little too long
and the cheese melts and a lot of it runs off the hamburger -
damn!). Put burger on bun and top with onion, tomato, romaine.

Like I died and went to heaven! Keep a damp washcloth on my
tray because I end up with all sorts of juices all over my
hands - it's a very moist messy hamburger - but delicious.
When I'm done I suck all the juices off my fingers and then
wipe with the wash cloth - don't want any good flavors to
go to waste! ;-) I guess this is not something I can eat in
the presence of civilized people, or any people for that matter.
The cats don't give a crap about my table manners. ;-)

Sounds great, only you didn't finish it in the well respected Primanti Bros

You've reminded me of my favorite burger joint in Chicago. (Choppers,
Wicker Park . Horrible "decor". Good slaw, bad fries). Not that
the trimmings are at all alike, but what a glorious mess. A lot of
great foods are sloppy - a dipped beef, for instance. In college
(Richmond, VA c. 1980), there was a place for pork chop sandwiches, no
sides - served with a pile of grilled onion on generic whitebread that
would melt into a greasy paste coating. Ooooh!

LOL I think a lot of us own or owned a set of those. My mother made sure I
had a set, and she had a set so now I have two sets! I sometimes use it to
form the patties, not often.

I use waxed paper when I bother to use those molds. Often times I use a
combination of beef and pork, it's very tasty. And when I make tacos
(rarely) I use hot (spicy) bulk breakfast sausage. Pork, it's the beef
substitute LOL

Well, I had enough trouble getting my mouth around it
to take a bite. If I had put french fries and slaw on it
I wouldn't have been able to eat it! But much as I love
Primanti's, I prefer the fries and slaw on the fish sandwich.
On my hamburger I want the accessories I already mentioned,
bacon, cheddar, onion, tomato, lettuce, and Miracle Whip.
Those are the absolute perfect accompaniments for a good burger.
And, oh yeah, my burgers are just meat - nothing else. Not
even salt and pepper. Of course you really don't need that
with the accessories providing all kinds of contrasting flavors
and textures.

Maybe I'll try a beef/pork mixture sometime. I love pork.
I bet that would be really tasty.

That's where I have the world's weirdest cat.
Not only is she a strawberry fiend, but she does not
bite your fingers when she licks them. She's 14 years
old and has only once bitten my finger.

When I first got her I would let her lick my fingers but
was always on guard to pull them out of harms way if she
gave the slightest indication of trying to bite them. But
I soon realized she was not going to bite. She's the only
cat I know who realizes that the good taste of the food on
the finger is just a coating and that the finger itself is
not food!

It was just recently when she actually bit my finger but
I think it was a miscalculation on her part. She hasn't
done it since and I feel very comfortable letting her
lick to her heart's content. Every other cat I've ever
known has bitten, never once did they even consider just
licking!

However, it the case of the above-mentioned hamburgers,
I get first licks. If she's around and wants seconds
then she's welcome to lick.

I usually make my burgers with a mixture of pork and beef. I add lots of
salt, some pepper, a dash of Worcestershire and a glug of hot sauce. I
form the meat into balls and stuff some blue cheese into mine, cheddar
into my wife's, and then gently press them into patties.

I was raised on Miracle Whip as a child and can not stand it now.

Next move up is to learn to make my own fresh mayo.

Vesper - It's seriously easy to do. In fact, think creative and add your
own flavor twists. I'd throw you'd a recipe, but there are a gazillion
of them out there.

Have questions? Post them.

Hope you have a towel handy. And be careful not to drool

Go ahead and laugh! I much prefer Miracle Whip to
other commercial mayos. Most of them have a slight
bitter taste to them that I don't care for. I do
eat them, though, when I have no choice, but if I'm
cooking at home I'm sure as hell gonna use MW. It
tastes the most like my homemade mayo, which I'm too
lazy to make very often, unfortunately! Homemade
mayo is awesome!

Kate,

I've never made homemade mayo. It's the fear of raw eggs.

All kidding aside, I only use Miracle Whip. Real mayo would probably be a
shock to my system.

Best,

Andy

Kate - You are welcome to eat your burger anyway you want in my presence
:-) The more not civilized the better (assuming I made it for you).
However, I may not forgive the use of salad dressing vs. mayo. To me,
that's as bad as adding sweet pickle relish (sorry to my Canadian
friends). Just doesn't compute.

But if you were to visit, I'd make you a great burger on the grill,
fresh buns, lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheddar cheese and pickle slices
would abound. But the only condiments available would be ketchup,
mustard, and mayo.

I'm sad you don't like my burger :-(

After my first child was born, I went on a diet. Miracle Whip had 35
calories per tablespoon and Hellman's mayo had 90. When I grew up we
used both, so I had no problems using Miracle Whip. I still like it.

Since we like Miracle Whip, we will have to sit in the corner with the

Well, I know you weren't asking ME, but..

Labatt's Blue is my "everyday" beer. My "Sunday go to meeting" beer
might be anything, particular local microbrews. I hardly drink at all
anymore, though, because it disrupts my sleep cycle. 8(

Sorry to disappoint you, Bob. And if I'm going to use
relish on anything it would be sweet pickle relish, but
not on hamburgers. I only use it sometimes on hotdogs
when I have them with ketchup and onions. Also, on the
rare occasions when I make grilled cheese sandwiches I like
to add sweet pickle relish and dip them in ketchup.

Well, I could live with mayo. I assume you would make it
from scratch for me, right? But keep those pickle slices
away from me. And much as I love ketchup - not on a hamburger.
And never, never mustard. ;-) Oh, and since you are making
me a hamburger on the grill, can I get it medium-rare, please?

What time should I be there. And I'll need directions.

Thanks,
Kate

Well, as long as you like it. Cheer up, Bob.

What's wrong with Crisco? Unless you mean eating it plain or
something. ;-) Ramen noodles, eh. I can eat them if I have
to but haven't really in over 35 years. But I'm going to have
to sit in a different corner. I really can't be seen with
people who eat Velveeta. ;-) Nothing personal, but really, Becca.
I don't think Miracle Whip is even in the same universe as
Velveeta. ;-)

Andy, Andy, Andy. There is no such thing as a decent light beer.
Sheesh! Sorry.

Kate,

MW was a great dietary help compared to mayo. After reducing, I just stuck
with it.

Best,

Andy

We weren't raised on Crisco. I bought a tub once but looking at it, I
couldn't stand the "so THAT'S what cholesterol looks like???" picture it
conjured up in my mind.

Once or twice I cheez whiz'd (velveeta) a cheesesteak. I leave that up to
visitors to decide for themselves. I'll advise against it if asked.

Heck, even the kitchen country mouse that I haven't caught yet didn't touch
the pouches of ramen noodles. That speaks volumes.

Sorry for any negativity.

Andy
