ingredients
For the Burger Patties:
- 2 pounds burger blend ground beef, 80% lean at MAXIMUM leaning toward 70% where possible, cold from the refrigerator
- 1 Tablespoon Casa M Spice Co® Chain Reaction®
- 1 Tablespoon Casa M Spice Co® Cattle Drive®
For Burger Assembly:
- 6 brioche burger buns
- romaine lettuce, crisp
- red onion, sliced thin
- dill pickle, sliced
- dijon mustard
LET’S GET COOKING
-
1.
Add the cold ground beef and spices to a bowl and mix well to incorporate.
-
2.
Weigh out 6 approxiately 1/3 pound portions from the bowl forming each into a ball.
-
3.
Place each ball onto a piece of burger paper, then onto a burger press, top with another piece of burger paper, then press to form the patty. If you don't have a burger press, the goal here is to get a uniform weight and shape so they cook evenly when and however you cook them.
-
4.
Remove the formed burgers (keeping the paper on both sides) and place onto a plate or small platter. Once all the patties are formed, put them into the refrigerator for a few hours up to overnight for flavors to blend.
-
5.
Cook the burgers any way you prefer; flat top griddle, cast iron skillet, grill, whatever you like. Flip as needed.
-
6.
Put each cooked burger onto a brioche bun, dress it according to your preferences, but our recommendation is to keep it simple, a dab of mustard, a few slices of red onions, a pickle, and a crisp piece of lettuce.
