The best way to make a hearty burger is to mix the ground beef with an egg, some bread crumbs, BBQ sauce, and spices of your choice. The egg and breadcrumbs help to hold it together so it doesn't crumble.
My plan included homemade buns but sadly it didn't work out. My pride was hurt when they never rose. I think I killed the yeast because my recipe called for warm milk and mine was fairly hot. I'll know better for next time I guess.
We have a Fry Daddy which gets very little use. However, there's nothing wrong with a little deep fry every once in a while. Caution - when you plug it in you must remove the plastic lid or it will melt, which is what happened to me. I wasn't paying attention and when I turned around the oil was a black mixture including what once was the lid. Luckily once it cooled we were able to clean everything out and put in some fresh oil.
Where did I find the ingredients?
Ground Beef - Silvana Meats
Onions, lettuce, tomato, and potatoes - Sno-isle Co-op (the onions and potatoes are local but unfortunately it is the wrong time of year for the other items so I at least buy organic)
You know your burger making skills are successful when your 7 year old says they would rather have a burger at home then from the drive-thru! Mickie D's ain't got nothin' on me!
