For those of you that partake of the burger....

What do you put on it?

Cheese?
Condiments?
Lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle?

Enquiring minds want to know.

Me - nothing but mustard.

lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mayo and ketchup :)

except sometimes I'll go with mustard instead of mayo & ketchup.


And sometimes I'd rather have swiss cheese with grilled onions and mushrooms.

that's how I do them on the grill, with swiss and mushrooms :thumbsup:

or whatever I have on hand :D

and if they have it with jalapeño, all the better!

sometimes, ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo etc...

Sometimes, cheese too

Other times, Onions, BBQ sauce and Cheese...

it depends on my mood.

Or what condiments are handy.

but for the most part, nothing but mustard.

All that other stuff takes away from the taste of the beef...














:hide:

:hi:

I like to add to the flavor.

I have had a mexican themed burger before that had guacamole on it. That was interesting.

:hug:

:pals:

thanks.

that's it.
nothing else.


yummo.

aA

:thumbsup: but the tomato has to be really fresh.

:hi:

:)

Bacon or mushrooms if I'm at out favorite local burger stand...

:hide:

Actually, I used to put tons of stuff on them, now I have become a mustard gal.

It is important to have a high beef to other stuff ratio - the burger is the star attraction after all. Whenever I'm at a restaurant I usually find myself removing 3/4 of the lettuce, 2/3 of the pickles, half the onion, etc. A lot of places seem to (wrongly) think that mere height produces a 'big burger.'

No complaint, though - all the removed stuff produces a nice little salad...

When I buy hamburger meat (and I get it from a great butcher down the street) before I make the patties, I mix in garlic and Italian Seasoning Ms. Dash into the burger meat. Then I use my patty maker to create the patties (and use freezer paper to separate them each so I can have one or I can have 5 at a time).

I like a slice of light havarti cheese and ketchup on a wheat bun and I've been trying to add lettucee too

:hide:

:woohoo:

I don't like pickles ON my burger, but I always have to have a pickle on the side.

We just had burgers last night and that's exactly how I had it. Yum :9

With Swiss cheese, bacon, and avocado. Heavenly!

:thumbsup:

Exactly. Like. That.

We both have excellent taste! :hi:

I love turkey burgers!

I usually stuff mine w/ cheddar chz and bacon bits, and then grill. Yummmmmm!

and of course, ketchup, onions and pickles. Pure Bliss.

I was at Taylor's Refresher in Napa Valley a couple weeks ago and experienced my first blue cheese burger.

Damn good it was.

on French bread.

Fries.
Chocolate milkshake.


At Rotier's.

I haven't had a burger in this city from anywhere else in a couple years.

No more, no less. Ok, sometimes bacon too.

My fav was a toasted bun, two quarter pound patties, two slices of any creamy mild cheese, a fried egg with a runny yolk, and bbq sauce + dijon.

Now I load up on avocado, a couple veggie patties, a little tomato, and lots of mustard.

And some salt. Nothing else. Yum.

including dill pickle.

or basil pesto and mozzarella, my new favorite!

Cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, a little onion (raw onion doesn't like me sometimes), dill relish, HELLMAN'S mayo, mustard, and ketchup.

The beef has to be well seasoned, too. Cooked to medium, no more. Nice soft bun.

Delish! :9

*drool*

I usually season the meat with salt and ground black pepper, grill it over some coals and finally top it with cheddar, bbq sauce, onions, and jalapeno.

with mayo with a grind of black pepper on the bun.

way two times in a row. Sriraci sauce, jalepenos, veggie chili, picante, a hundred types of mustards, a variety of veggies... So many ways to do it. And we haven't even talked about the buns.

All over a veggie burger, needless to say.

:9

Edit: forgot the greasy blackened onions

with lotsa ketchup and some fries.

Oh, and they must be well, well done. What some people call ruined, I say is about perfect.

Sorry, I blacked out there.

Too much TV in my youth.

1) The yankee way -- with catsup

2) The extreme yankee way -- with catsup and mustard

3) Texas style -- mustard and mayonnaise top and bottom, lettuce, tomato, and onion.

<edited to add extra sharp cheddar cheese melted as desired>

with onion, tomato, lettuce, mustard.

mustard and ketchup

1. With sauteed onions and mushrooms

2. With lettuce, onion, mayonnaise on bottom, and hot sauce on top.

With a garden variety burger, then chopped raw Vidalia onions, a bit of sweet pickle relish, and ketchup (I have a strong preference for Heinz).

If one goes up the meat quality chain a bit, then some sauteed mushrooms (perhaps with a bit of onion sauteed along with the mushrooms), topped with Swiss cheese, and ketchup.

If one goes still further up the meat quality chain, then bleu (Roquefort would be a waste, but it works too) cheese, topped with a bit of raw chopped Vidalia onion. And some (but less) ketchup.

Some, I am told, will put various BBQ sauce concoctions on their burgers. No, no, a thousand times no! BBQ sauce goes on ribs or chicken, but not on a decent burger. And, as much as it pains me to say this, President Obama notwithstanding - mustard, any mustard, on a burger is an abomination, and is to be devoutly avoided.

If using buns, butter them ever so lightly, then toast in the broiler before acquainting it with the burger. Once toasted, serve ASAP.

Jalapenos, Bacon, Spiced Mustard, Onions. Darnit-- now I'm hungry all over again.

Topped off with pepper jack cheese, mustard and best foods mayo.

I have high cholesterol, so it's a rare luxury for me.

My fave fast-food burger is one from Hardees - Mushroom & Swiss. But when at home, one can do the mushrooms the correct way, add onion, and the bacon. I might consider lettuce too ... but A-1 on a burger is not for me but Jack Daniels BBQ Sauce is.

Mark.

That said, I tend to only eat burgers from two sources. The first is Red Robin, and if any of you come on and tell me that's unacceptable to you for some reason, you're dead to me :)

The second source is my dear ol' mom, who makes the best burgers EVER. I'm not one of those people who thinks my mom is the best cook in history, especially since she taught me pretty much all of her recipes and I can now make them as well as her. However, the burgers are just a thing o' beauty.

my favorite combo. But I will accept many others gratefully.

Yummers!

Whatever is at hand if I'm not.

Guac if it's a turkey burger

lettuce, tomato, onions. No pickle (except maybe on the side) and ABSOLUTELY no condiments!! Pepper, though.
