The Better Baird Hamburgers

There are two different, but related, recipes for hamburgers that I like. Both of them are ones that came about since I got married. Neither one is all that unique, but I thought I'd do my foodie post today on the subject.

Both of the use 'little monsters' just to warn you...

The first is pretty straight forward.

1 lbs uber lean ground beef
4 strips of smoked bacon
1 habanero
1/2 yellow onion
garlic, sage, ginger
4 mushrooms (if fried)

mince bacon, habanero, and onion, very finely. Mix in bowl with ground beef. add garlic, sage, and ginger to taste. If the weather does permit, place on grill and have at it. If the weather does not or you lack a grill, cop a southron accept, get a frying pan, a pat of butter, and heat. Then after butter is melted, sprinkle on some garlic. Place burgers, fry until half done, add sliced mushrooms to saute.

Alernately, you could use this recipe:

3/4 lbs uber lean ground beef
1/4 lbs ground pork
1 habanero
1/2 yellow onion
garlic, sage, ginger
4 mushrooms (if fried)

same cooking instructions.

Wonderful flavor either way. One way is likely to kill you faster, I am sure.
