After (rightfully) being blasted for my shite burger recipe a few weeks ago I've decided I need to change, and I'm asking the 3 Michelin star Food and Drink Board for assistance.

I need your best burger recipe for a cast iron. Any and all recipes and advice will be appreciated. Thanks!

I've found that it's hard to go wrong with most Serious Eats recipes.

[e]: Top it however you want! I like bacon, cheddar, pickles, onions, and BBQ sauce. Mushrooms, caramelized onions and Swiss are also great, but this is a good recipe that I've made several times.

Go to Lowe’s. Yes Lowe’s. Get the burger rub that is in the bbq rub section. Get the burger press there too.

This thing right here

This stuff right here

Make your burger patty with your burger press. Use 1/3 lb 80/20 beef per patty. Season it somewhat liberally with the burger seasoning.

Get your cast iron hot. Really hot. Toss in juuust a dab of avocado oil and smear it around. Throw on your patties 2-3 at a time for 4 minutes per side. If the internal temp is 138-150, pull the burgers and let them rest. Your job is done. If it is not there yet, flip the patties for another minute per side.

That is a very basic burger technique. Once you do that right, you can start making it your own. Add cheese after the last flip. Brown the buns. Eat.

The meat does the work. Buy high quality ground beef and grill it. If you can find dry aged ground beef, use it.

2 lbs of the leanest ground meat you can find
1 egg
2 cups of Italian bread crumbs
1/4 cup of Italian dressing
2 tbs of five spice
3 tbs of brown mustard
1/8 cup of hoisin sauce

It goes nice with a good quality crescent roll

Edit: I forgot to mention you Sous Vide it for 36 hours with a sprig a rosemary.

I like fresh ground chuck from a chuck roast I grind myself. Salt, pepper. Grill it.

I use 88/12 beef from Costco and doctor it up with a few dashes of Slap Ya Mama, black pepper, garlic powder, one beaten egg, a few shakes of Worcestershire sauce and some Italian Bread Crumbs.

I make my patties around 7 oz. each and right before I grill them I press my thumb into the center of the patty to make a nice dimple and that keeps the burger more uniform and flatter when grilling. If not, they tend to swell up in the center more so than around the perimeter.

I use enough ground meat to make 8 burgers at a time.

you’re overthinking it.

80/20 salt and pepper. It’s all about the bun though and fresh toppings.

Also, I enjoyed the troll comments in this thread.

Martini posted this a couple weeks ago. I will do some variation of it in the near future.

Sloppy burgers.

Surprisingly, one of these is not a troll.

Grind up some bacon and mix it in with your ground meat. Best burgers I ever made were Chuck, short rib, and tri-tip mixed.

I did 24 of them this weekend. Man they are good. I have a griddle on one side of my gas grill and I put a 16” cast iron skillet on the other side. They mayo as fat is key as is lots of finely diced onions.
