However, I had my George Foreman grill, which is an okay replacement. No, it doesn't give it the grilled flavor, but it isn't too bad. I love that mine has removable plates. It makes clean up 1000x easier.
This is really a variation of the turkey burgers I posted in May. I just really wanted beef this time.
Mini BBQ Burgers on pretzel buns
1/2 lb 93/7ground beef
1/4 cup crushed crackers (I used Texas Firecrackers because they are awesome.)
1/2 an egg, beaten (or, as I used 1 1/2 tablespoons egg beaters)
2 tablespoons milk
seasoning to taste (I used garlic powder, onion powder, red and black pepper, a dash of cayenne and salt)
4 Sister Schubert's pretzel buns (baked according to directions)
Toppings
2 tablespoons Tony Packo's BBQ sauce (or whatever sauce you like)
1 slice cheddar jack cheese
1 tablespoon french fried onions
4 dill pickle slices
The construction of these burgers is really simple.
First, mix all the ingredients (minus the buns) together. I used my hands, because it mixes more easily that way.
Next, form them into four small burger patties. If you are using a George Foreman, make them into meatballs instead. The grill will flatten them.
Cook them until they are well done (these include egg, so it is better to be safe). It took my burgers about 10 minutes, but it will depend on the thickness and the temperature. I didn't really preheat the grill, so it may take less time.
Cut the pretzel buns in half and put the burger on the bottom. Add the cheese, BBQ sauce, and fried onions to the top. Add the pickles to the other side.
I served my burgers with sweet potato fries and a small salad with thousand island dressing. It was a lovely, lovely dinner. Luckily, I have left overs too :-)
