September 18th is National Cheeseburger Day, so what better way to celebrate than with a fun burger recipe? Early this year I had the pleasure of reviewing Cluck ’N Moo Burgers and since I still have a few left in my freezer, I am looking forward to trying the recipe listed below. The recipe is naturally gluten-free so long as you use a gluten-free bun, wrap it in lettuce or eat the burger “naked”.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb. ground sirloin
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 1/2 tsp cracked fresh pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 lb. Cluck ‘n Moo Ground
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 1 T butter
- 1/2 C ketchup
- 1 adobo pepper with 1 tsp sauce
- 4 gluten-free hamburger buns or lettuce leaves for wrapping
Directions:
• Prepare gas grill or coals for grilling.
• In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper to taste and sauté for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally so onions soften but don’t brown.
• In a medium sized bowl, gently combine beef with garlic powder, 1 tsp salt and 2 tsp pepper. Don’t over mix or the meat will become tough when grilled. Divide into four sections and gently form patties. Set aside.
• In a small food processor, chop adobo pepper and sauce until finely combined. Add ketchup and combine. Taste for heat, add more ketchup if it’s too spicy.
• When coals or grill is hot, put patties on grill, turning only once. Once turned, top with Gorgonzola to melt. Cook patties to your preferred doneness. Add buns to the grill to toast. Pull both from grill when done.
• Assemble buns with burgers and sautéed onions, and top with adobo ketchup and fix-ins.
Cluck ’n Moo Burgers are available in select stores. If you can’t find them near you at this time, you can still make the recipe above using a substitute.
