Burgers


80/20 chuck lightly handled into 3/4lb patties and nicely seasoned with Cajun spice, black pepper and salt
Grilled over high heat for a nice sear
Add cheese and get a nice melt

My tips for great burgers

Do not over handle the meat and do not mix spices into it
Season the unformed chunk of chuck and then gently form the patty
Leave them thick and form a deep divot in the center, I use my thumb, this divot keeps them from shrinking up
Sear them well, this is beef, I cook to medium-medium well

Thanks,
some type of ciabatta buns my wife bought, they didn't hold together too well.
LOL, I think my cardiologist has given up on me.

Cardiologists should be more concerned about processed sugars and starches that we eat instead of natural fats like those that come from meat and cheese.

Nice work man!
