Reddit mentions: The best beef burger patties

I don't remember the exact technique I used. It was a couple months back. But I don't think it was lacking flavor. It was just an overpowering "cat food" aroma that spoiled it for me.

For the occasion you do want a beef patty, you might try Schweid & Sons "The Prime Burger". I had the best burger I've ever made at home the other night with those.

Famous Dave's "Devil's Spit" Pickle Chips are also a must-have burger condiment as well IMO. They're not nearly as spicy as the name and label would suggest, but the flavor is amazing. Wickle's Pickles are a strong second-place if you can't find Devil's Spit.

I found these beauties for $9.99 on AmazonFresh and had to experiment. Here are the ingredients I used, shown in the order that they were prepared:

 

• Asparagus
  
• 3 Garlic Cloves
  
• 2 slices of Bacon
  
• 8oz Grass-fed Burger Patty (I used 91% lean)
  
• 1/4 Avocado
  
• Egg
  
• Sea Salt
  
• Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  
• Salted Kerrygold Butter
  
   
  
  Procedure
  
  

1. Cut off the white ends of the asparagus and melt 1 tbsp of butter on pan. Add minced garlic and saute with asparagus. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
   
   
2. Cook bacon. I cooked mine on a pan and saved the bacon grease for later cooking projects.
   
   
3. For the Rare Burger Patty, I lightly salted and peppered one side while melting butter on a pan at medium-high heat. I then placed these previously seasoned-sides down and cooked for 2 mins while I seasoned the other side. Flipped these over and cooked for another 2 mins and then let these sit on a plate for the flavors to develop while I fried my egg.
   
   
4. This is where I learned how to fry an egg.
   
   
5. For placement I started with the bed of asparagus, then the burger, then avocado slices, then bacon slices, then the fried egg, and topped off with salt and pepper.
   
    
   
   [Request] As I plan on experimenting more with these, what are your favorite gourmet burger ingredient combinations? I want to try cheese on my next go-around.

thinking:

The veggie burger is $13.92 a pound($0.87 an ounce) and the 1lb of hamburger is $4.19

Even the higher end burgers on amazon are only $10 a lb.

OR, get one of these things, so you can use it over and over again and not waste plastic bags.
