“Eggers Can’t be Cheesers” Burger

My mom and brother came to stay with me and assisted in redecorating my apartment, and I returned my gratitude in the form of a cheeseburger. I really think that is the best currency out there. This burger features a beautiful sunny-side up egg on top of a perfect cheeseburger. I am all for a runny egg. I know it grosses people out, but they are hugely missing out on something so delicious, and they should just get over it.

Ingredients

  • 1 LB Ground Beef
  • 8 Slices American Cheese
  • 4 Large Eggs
  • 4 English Muffins
  • Green Leaf Lettuce
  • Your fav Hot Sauce
  • Butter

Let’s Get Cooking

Make four patties, season both sides with salt and pepper, and cook the burgers to your desired doneness. When they’re almost done, top with cheese [ 2 slices per burger]. Cover the pan to help melt the cheese.

In a large frying pan, cook your eggs sunny-side up. Toast your English Muffins.

Build your Burger: Spread a little bit of butter on your English muffins. Bottom muffin, lettuce, cheeseburger, egg, hot sauce, and top muffin.

Be sure to have EXTRA napkins, I recommend a bib!

“A Cheesus is Born” Burger

I am not a mushroom gal. However, sometimes we do things we don’t want to because we love someone. This would not have been my choice as our next burger, but I went with it since my mother and brother love mushrooms. This is your classic mushroom Swiss burger. The only thing that kept me from vetoing this burger altogether is that it is topped with brown gravy, because gravy makes everything better.

Ingredients

  • 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
  • Butter or olive oil
  • 1 10-ounce package button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup brown gravy (canned, homemade, or from a mix)
  • ¼ cup brown mustard
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • 4 slices Baby Swiss cheese
  • 4 slices Jarlsberg cheese or Provolone
  • 4 buns
  • Boston or green leaf lettuce

Let’s Get Cooking

In a skillet, sauté the garlic in a little butter or oil over medium-high heat just until fragrant. Turn the heat down to medium and add the mushrooms and a bit more butter or oil. Cook these slowly to soften them up and draw out their liquids.

Once your mushrooms are starting to brown, raise the heat to high till the liquid evaporates. Throw in your diced tomatoes and sauté briefly. Set aside. Heat up your gravy and make sure that it is hot for plating.


Gently mix the mustard into the beef. Cook the patties as you normally would.

Put a bit of your mushroom-garlic-tomato mixture on top and then add one slice each of the Swiss and the Jarlsberg/Provolone Cheese.

Build your Burger: Bottom bun, lettuce, cheesy-mushroom burger, more mushrooms, gravy, top bun.

Make sure you use that extra gravy for your French fries!

“It’s Fun to Eat at the Rye-MCA” Burger

Another day another Bob’s Burger. This one here is simple, but my goodness is it delicious. The rye bread is a replacement for a bun and you would think it doesn’t make a difference, but it absolutely does! If you’re not a horseradish person I would say to you, think again! The cheese milds out the horseradish while also making the mustard POP!

Ingredients

  • 1 TBSP Butter
  • 1/2 Yellow Onion, thinly sliced
  • 1LB Ground Beef
  • Cheddar Cheese, slicked 1/4 in thick
  • Sliced Rye Bread, get the good stuff
  • Boston or Green Leaf Lettuce
  • 4 TBSP Prepared Horseradish
  • Brown Mustard

Let’s Get Cooking

Start with cooking the onions. Melt the butter in a wide frying pan over MED-LOW heat. Add in the sliced onion and stir to coat. Cook over LOW heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and sticky golden brown, about 20-30 min.

Make the burger patties and season both side with salt and pepper. Cook them to your liking. Just before the burgers finish cooking, top with caramelized onions and a slice of cheddar cheese, cover, and tent to help the cheese melt. Once cheese is melted remove from heat.

Now is the time to build your burger!

Start with Rye bread, lettuce, cheeseburger, a spoonful of horseradish, and the ‘top bun’ of rye bread with brown mustard slathered on one side.

Serve with french fries & enjoy!

“Pickle My Funny Bone” Burger

I am a pickle girl, as I am sure I have shared before, so of course I had to make this fried pickle burger by our BFF Bob. It is one of the more simple burgers that Mr. Belcher has to offer, with fried pickles and a spicy mayo being the stars of the show; but don’t let simple fool you, because DAMN it’s good.

Ingredients

  • Vegetable/Canola Oil for Frying
  • 1/3 Cup Flour
  • 1/3 Cup Cornmeal
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 TBSP Old Bay Seasoning
  • 1 TSP Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 16 oz jar Kosher Dill Pickle Chips
  • 4 Hamburger Buns
  • 1/2 Cup Mayo
  • 1 TBSP Frank’s Red Hot
  • 1 TSP Ketchup
  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • Green Leaf Lettuce

Let’s Get Cooking

In a deep saucepan, heat about an inch of oil to 350F.

Mix the flour + cornmeal + seasoning + red pepper flakes in a large bowl. In a small bowl, crack the egg and beat it.

Drain the pickle chips and pat dry. Dunk the pickles in the eggs and then dredge in the seasoned flour. Fry the coated pickle chips in small batches until they turn golden brown. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon. Be sure to check the oil temperature between batches.

In a bowl, mix together mayo + hot sauce + ketchup, adjusting per your taste.

Form the beef into 4 patties, season both sides with salt + pepper, and cook to your liking.

To build the burger: bottom bun, lettuce, burger, fried pickles, spicy mayo, top bun.
