ALL-AMERICAN BURGERS

Categories main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons roasted red pepper puree
2 teaspoons adobo sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Canola oil, for brushing
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck (80 percent lean)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 sesame seed buns, split
8 slices American cheese
Yellow mustard, for serving
Shredded iceberg lettuce, for serving

Steps:

Heat a gas or charcoal grill to high heat. Brush the grill grates with oil.
For the fry sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, roasted red pepper puree and adobo sauce in a small bowl and stir together until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Use right away or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
For the burgers: Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Shape each portion with your hands into a round patty, about 3/4 inches thick. Use your thumb to make a divot in the center of each burger. Sprinkle both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
Grill, covered, until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes. Flip the burgers and cook until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, about 4 minutes for medium.
While the burgers cook, toast the buns on the grill until lightly charred, 10 to 15 seconds. Set aside.
Add 2 slices of cheese to the tops of each burger. Cover the burgers with the grill lid, large domed lid or large metal bowl and count to 10 until the cheese is melted.
Spread some yellow mustard on the bottom buns and spread some of the fry sauce on the top buns. Place the burgers on the bottom buns. Top with the shredded lettuce and the top buns and serve immediately.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your burgers.
Don't overwork the meat. Overworking the meat will make it tough. Just mix it until it is evenly combined.
Season the meat well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
Cook the burgers over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the burgers while keeping the inside juicy.
Don't flip the burgers too often. Flipping the burgers too often will make them dry. Only flip them once, when the bottom is nicely browned.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness.
Top the burgers with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles.

Conclusion:

All-American olive burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips in this recipe, you can make sure that your burgers are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection.
