Question Of The Day, Friday, June 23

[Winchester]

Good morning! And Happy Friday! I'm waiting for the weekend!

We are getting close to the Fourth of July holiday. Lots of picnics, lots of fireworks, lot of time with family and friends. Lots of burgers and hot dogs to grill, too!

Around here, Rick makes the burgers and he's getting family-famous for his hamburgers now. 1/3-pounders, grilled only. Ketchup and mustard with some bacon and blue cheese. I also like caramelized onions on mine. I make zucchini relish and it's better than any pickle relish you'll find in the store. On a grilled garlic-buttered bun.

What do you like on your burger?

On my burger I like the normal stuff- lettuce, tomato, onion, ketchup, mustard, relish, mayo, bacon, cheese ( white cheese only), banana peppers. Oh yeah bread and butter pickles- got to have my bread and butter pickles.
I don't know how I'm even able to take a bite when I go to eat it- must have a mouth like a snakes (LOL).
I have been known to add a little bit of taco seasoning mix, taco sauce or salsa to the hamburger just for a variety of flavor and something new.

I eat veggie burgers from our local farmer's market with spinach hummus, tomato and lettuce. Sometimes red pepper or zucchini too.

pickles. the more the merrier!

Currently, lettuce wrapped beef patty with tomato, grilled mushroom, grilled onion, pickles, avocado and mustard. Photo of my burger this past weekend (I take photos of my food for accountability, each day I see what I actually ate. It helps keep me from overeating).

For a regular burger: raw onions (preferably diced but sliced is fine), lettuce, dill pickles (I can't stand sweet/bread and butter pickles in any context), cheese, bacon, ketchup, yellow mustard, mayo, and EXTRA tomatoes (as many slices as I can cram in there)!

I'm also willing to try a lot of different kinds of fancy burgers, but when it comes down to it the basics are best .

Veggie burger, tomato, lots of dill pickles, lettuce. Swiss cheese, raw onion and mayo. Yes, I would like fries with that.

On a veggie burger I like baby spinach, tomato, a little raw onion (preferably red) and a bit of mayo.

Ok, this question and the delicious answers have me getting ready, at this moment, heading to the store for some nice ground beef!

I will gladly eat a burger on a grilled Kaiser roll with any of the following: cheddar cheese, ketchup, blue cheese, dill relish, thinly-sliced red onion.

I love burgers!! My favorites are mushroom and swiss and cheddar with pickles and ketchup. I gave DH Bobby Flay's burger cookbook for Valentine's Day and we've been eating our way through it from front to back. So far we've only been under impressed with one of them, but I forgot which one.

Now I'm hungry for a hamburger!

 

[Mamanyt1953]

Well, I have to agree with amysuen that a mushroom and swiss burger is a lovely thing, indeed. But failing that, on a regular hamburger, I want catsup and mustard. On a cheeseburger, I want mayo and onions, and CHEESE ON BOTH SIDES!!! And yes, I can do that without totally gunking up the pan. On a grill, it's a bit harder.

I want my burger medium rare. Grilled over charcoal. Soft bun. Hellmann's mayo. A little ketchup. Onion, lettuce, tomato and of course bacon on the burger with some crispy bacon on the side because why not?

IMO Mustard should never, ever, ever touch a burger or beef in general. No. just NO.

 

[micknsnicks2mom]

hmmm......grilled burgers are the best. i think my 'standard' burger has american cheese, either ketchup or mustard (not both), and i'm always fine with pickle slices (either dill or sweet bread & butter). but i think i'd like to try topping a burger with some pesto-mayo, a tomato slice, feta cheese crumbles -- that just sounds like it would taste so good to me.

oh, and bacon is fine too -- most definitely bacon, and a generous amount of it too!

Right on!!! I hate Mustard. As for mayo I like the vegan Vegenaise with grape seed oil. On the internet it cost $6.79 for a 32 oz jar. I've been paying $8.99 for it at Mom's Organic store. It's the best mayo I ever had. It also shows that Hellman makes a vegan mayo. It's a 24 oz at $3.99 at Target. I will have to go there to see if I can find it. I like honey mustard but not plain mustard. UGH!!!

See if your store carries Just Mayo. It is vegan also and it's very good. I think most people would not be able to tell it was unless someone told them. Their garlic mayo is even better than the regular if you can find it. Wal Mart carries it. It's not much more expensive than Hellmann's or Kraft.

Veggie burger, but with bacon, lettuce, tomato, mustard, cheddar cheese, and chipotle sour cream.

 

[foxxycat]

All these suggests sound heavenly! I am not picky but it must have pickles!! I love mayo and ketchup together too. Anything on it is good!! Gonna get some burgers this week! There's these frozen ones with onions in them-the box is yellow-they are pricy but so good! For a frozen burger! I have no luck with home made patties=they always break apart when flipping.

 

[AbbysMom]

Bacon, cheddar or blue cheese and maybe ketchup. A local restaurant makes a mac and cheese burger where they top it with spicy mac and cheese. It's delicious.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

There aren't many ways I don't like a burger to be honest. It just depends on my mood.

Sometimes it's Colby Jack cheese with mayo and dijon or spicy brown mustard, and pickles (bread and butter are my fav; but sometimes I want dill). Sometimes it's gotta have cheddar or bacon, lettuce and tomato. Sometimes BBQ sauce and those crunchy onion "shoe strings". Bob Evan's has a chipotle sauce that is good on them too.

Yummmm!!! ITA about mustard. But it's perfect on hot dogs.
