Burger at home, with slaw and beans. Local honey beer to drink.

Smoked gouda and burger sauce by my stepdaughter, on a brioche bun. Roasted potatoes and brussel sprouts with crumbled bacon. Paired with my Scottish Ale.

Happy National Cheeseburger Day!

I’m slumming it at the stadium today with The Panda Pablo Sandoval.

OMG that looks so delicious!

Do you add a teriyaki sauce into the burger mix?

A little bit, yes. It was a teriyaki sauce from scratch, some of which was used to brush the burger patties on the grill, and some which went into the burger mix.

Here's the recipe: https://www.wellplated.com/teriyaki-burgers/

We did this with 80/20 beef instead of turkey. Both because we prefer it, and because my wife has a poultry allergy so we can't use bird!

Otherwise the recipe was as-is, with one other exception--we didn't think it out beforehand and realize that the recipe was for 4 burgers from 1 lb of meat, not 2. Which means the burgers were massive as you can see--far exceeding the confines of the bun once you add in things like the bread crumbs which add volume. I personally find a 1/4 lb patty a little small, but I probably would have gone for about 5-6 ounces per patty instead.

Bummer on the bird allergy but beef is better in my opinion. I agree on the 1/4 burgers, fine if you want the children's portion. Doubling them up works too but a six ounce size works best.

Bonus with the grilled pineapple!

Thanks for the link and notes!!!!

And here I grilled up some "cheebuggers", didn't know it was their day so no pics. They were darned good, too, with cheddar and grilled onions...

Cheers!

Totally agree, I mostly use venison, which doesn't shrink as much, but still does, and 1/4lb just doesn't cut it. I gotta start making my ground venison packs bigger when I process my deer from now on. 6oz I think is the sweet spot as well, so gotta bump my freezer packs from 1lb to 1.5lb for 4 burgers.. last year I started mixing in some brisket with my venison specifically for burgers, thanks to @betarhoalphadelta and they have been my best burgers to date. Otherwise I don't add anything to my ground venison during processing.

Edit: I gotta make some burgers this weekend. Definitely.

I tend to make my venison burgers on the larger end also so they don’t dry out as quickly. I find it helps me cook them to temp easier. But now you have me thinking of trying the complete opposite: smash burgers! I don’t believe I have ever made venison smash burgers. Thank god hunting season has just begun.
