Ingredients:

Toasted Onion Kaiser Roll: $.33
1/3 lb home-ground brisket: $.28
2 slices of HEB premium, thick sliced bacon $.40
1 thick slice of Finlandia Munster Cheese: $.17
1 pickled jalapeno, sliced thin: $.03
Sriracha mayo and ketchup: $.04

Method:

The bacon was cut in half to facilitate cooking and assembly. The
burger patty is one of 12 I ground from whole brisket and froze last
week. It was cooked from frozen state at the same time and in the
same pan as the bacon (I'll have to do that more often). The
jalapeno is sliced thin and placed on the burger and under the
cheese for the last minute of cooking. The sriracha must be mixed
with the mayo before spreading on the toasted bun.

Results:

Time to cook, assemble and clean up after this this "goremay $100.00
Burger" (the only kind Sam will eat [sic]): 11 minutes.

Cost of this $100.00 goremay Burger : $1.25.

Tastewise: You won't get anything this tasty from a drive thru.

My only regret is that I didn't make 2, or make it a double (which
would have only taken 1 minute longer).

Compare this to running out and grabbing a Quarter Pounder W/cheese
for $2.39 +tax and the choice is pretty clear.

Steve, any kindergartener will tell you that burger won't taste as good as
one you'll pay $100 dollar's for at a gourmet restaurant.

And my personal opinion is it won't taste as good as a quarter pounder.
Mcdonald's knows how to cook a damn good burger or they wouldn't be in
business all those year's.

Seconded. I've always done BK style ketchup and mayo, so I'll have to
try the sriracha mayo next time I make burgers.

I don't argue that it was delicious, but your prices seem quite low.

For example: Kaiser rolls are 69 cents here. I doubt I could find any
kind of beef to grind for 84 cents a pound. $2.49 is about the cheapest
for any cut I can think of. You get the picture.

$.67/lb for brisket. Which was widely publicized here back on the
4th of July. And I figured in about 20% waste. Which was very
generous of me.... considering.

You apparently didn't get the picture.

McDonald's has been in business all those years by being everywhere and
by catering to hell spawn... er... kids. Both Burger King and Wendy's
have much better burgers.

Oh, come one Pete. McDonald's doesn't just plunk down a corporate
owned outlet without researching if the area will support it. Maybe
franchisees can just buy a lot an put one up, but corporate couldn't
get to be so big without lots of consideration about who will buy what
and where.

Really. I don't even consider what McDonald's serves as burgers.
They've tweaked them so much over the years that they are no longer
recognizable as hamburgers tastewise. The QP with cheese, for
example, is nothing but mushy mass of overly sweet goo with no
texture except the lone pickle slice. You simply can't make
something like that at home - why would you?

All it needed was some avocado... ;-d

I'd have ground some of that brisket too at $.87 per lb. but I did not
have the freezer space. :-(

I'd not seen it for that price in years...

Brisket was on sale last week (locally for $.87, might have been a bit
cheaper in Austin) and I can get Kaiser rolls all the time at that same
store for 3 for $1.00.

SW shops at the same chain I do.

If you are in the right area of the US, Whataburger blows them both away.

McDonalds is a great example of how advertising can create a perception and
customer loyalty.

Imagine how cheap McBurgers would be if they didn't spend billions
of dollars on advertising campaigns.

The hamburgers would be so cheap everybody would literally be afraid
to buy them.

This was $.67/lb. The local Walmarts and HEBs were having a brisket

Cool. Our local Wal-mart evidently did not participate.
I have yet to see them compete with the meat prices.... Weird.

I've always had two pickle slices on my QPs, perhaps they cut back
recently?

I'm in the right area of the US, but I don't care for whataburger for
various reasons. The burgers at Sonic, also in this area, are fairly
decent. Of course going outside the fast food thing, Fudruckers does a
pretty good burger.

Still, it's difficult to top a home made burger using fresh ground
non-oxidized meat promptly cooked over very hot charcoal to crispy
outside, rare inside.

It's all about the marketing and hype, although even that sometimes
fails as was the case when Krispy Creme came to the northeast and failed
within a couple years.

I was in Brazil a few years ago and a local cab driver gave me excellent
service over the space of two weeks. She was scheduled to take me to the
airport for my flight home and I told her to pick me up early and I would
take her to lunch on the way... and she chose to eat at McDonalds. Same
stuff they have here, except that in addition to Apple and Cherry pies...
they also had banana. The McDonalds was in the same shopping center as
Wal-mart. I might as well have been in New Jersey.

And Steve knows how to cook.
Sauk is too lazy to learn.

But, I doubt Sauks jaded tastes would know a good burger if they tripped
over it. He's a junk food junkie.

Steve eats REAL food most of the time.

Hm. I still have the one in the freezer that is $.87 per lb.
I'll be happy to take a jpeg since I've not cooked it yet!

They just slice them paper thin. The last QP I got had the two
slices, but they were folded in half right next to each other making
them appear as one.

Sale schmale... gots to be mighty gristlely meat when the burger costs less
than the roll... that Sqwartz booger cost less than 1/3 the price of a 3 oz
can of gourmet cat food... my cats eat better than that furschluganeh
mextexican. LOL LOL

And only a TIADer would use muenster cheese on a burger, schtinks like toe
cheese. hehe And he makes fun of me... heck, a third pound of grilled SPAM
costs like three times his gristley booger .

I don't believe him anyway, when he says he ground the meat his ownself and
he shoulda made two burgers... no one is going to dirty a grinder for a 1/3
lb of meat... that's why he didn't post a picture, he never made that
burger, no way, no how... the dwarf prolly made up this disney tale as an
alibi for his mugging a three year old for a Happy Meal! <G>

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. . . .

You spend over $20 a pound on cat food while you eat Spam three
times a week and you have the balls to call somebody else a fool?

Yeah - you got me there. I bought 2 briskets and cut off 1/3rd of a
pound to grind.

I guess you missed this part:

"The bacon was cut in half to facilitate cooking and assembly. The
burger patty is one of 12 I ground from whole brisket and froze last
week"

Dumbass. And that doesn't include the 2 1-lb packages of ground
beef for other uses.

Why do stupid people always assume that everybody is as stupid as
themselves? This is why I love Usenet so much: it makes you
realize that you could be a hell of a lot worse off.

And Sheldon always pops up in response to my posts like a chihuahua
with a hard-on. And soon goes limp.

I said it in the original post to the this thread.

Duh.

This is actually working out well. I don't even have to post about
how lame Sheldon is any more. I just post something on-topic, and
he comes out of nowhere begging to make an ass out himself time
after time.

Figures it would take somebody as brain-dead as Dimitri.

In and Out is the most over-rated hamburger on the planet. Yes,
I've had them plenty of times, and no, I never thought it was worth
it - no matter what covert phrases you use when you order it that
enable them to try and make it so that you'll like it.

And those fires simply suck. Well-done or not. Not to mention the
damn religious slogans on all the packaging.

I will give them credit for paying their employees well, though.
That was the only thing I admired about I&O. But that has pretty
much been negated by all their internal family squabbles.

Nothing beats a home-cooked burger - at least not at my house. If
you can't beat I&O - or McDonald's - in your own home then you
simply can't cook.

Steve, knock off your damn lying just once. Millions of people eat
Mcdonald's burgers every day, so obviously they taste really good.
