Steps:
- Heat grill to medium-high heat. Divide and form the beef into 4 equal patties, being careful not to overwork the meat. Make a small depression with your thumb in the center of each patty, as burgers bulge in the middle when cooked.
- Coat one side of each patty with the spice rub. Season the other side with Kosher salt.
- Grill burgers over medium-high heat with grill-lid closed until cooked to desired doneness, about 3-5 minutes per side (brushing the grill first with a little bit of oil will prevent burgers from sticking). During the last minute of cooking, top each burger with pepperjack cheese slice.
- Remove burgers from grill and let rest for a few minutes. Assemble burgers on buns with coleslaw, barbecue sauce, and a generous dose of potato chips. Devour immediately.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayo, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, sugar, and celery salt. Add in coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots) and mix to combine. Season with Kosher salt and freshly gorund pepper. Let set for at least 15 minutes prior to serving. Can be made a few hours ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Extra spice rub can be stored in a ziploc bag for future use.
DALLAS BURGER
Steps:
- For the BBQ sauce: Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Add the onions and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the ketchup and 1/2 cup water, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the ancho chile powder, brown sugar, mustard, paprika, vinegar, Worcestershire, honey, molasses, chile de arbol and chipotle chile and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, an additional 10 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a food processor and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a medium bowl and allow to cool to room temperature. Put about 1/3 cup of the BBQ sauce in a small bowl; reserve the remaining BBQ sauce in the medium bowl for spooning on top and serving.
- For the coleslaw: Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, granulated sugar, celery salt, onion and some salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the cabbage and carrot and stir to combine; season with more salt and pepper if needed. Let sit at least 15 minutes before serving.
- For the burger: Heat a grill, grill pan or cast-iron griddle to high heat. Brush the grill grates, pan or griddle with the oil.
- Whisk together the ancho, paprika, mustard powder, coriander, cumin, oregano, chile de arbol, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
- Form the meat into four 6-ounce burgers. Brush the burgers with oil, season with some of the rub and sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill until the burgers are golden brown and slightly charred on the bottoms, 3 to 4 minutes. Brush with the BBQ sauce from the small bowl (discard any unused sauce). Flip the burgers and continue to cook to medium doneness, about 4 minutes longer. Spoon a little of the reserved BBQ sauce on each burger and top each with a slice of cheese. If using a grill pan or griddle, fill a squeeze bottle with water and squirt the pan. Cover the burgers with a grill lid, large domed lid or large metal bowl and count to 10 -- until the cheese is melted
- Place the burgers on the bun bottoms and spoon some more of the BBQ sauce on top. Top with some of the coleslaw and a few pickles. Top with a few potato chips, if desired. Put the bun tops on and stick a 6-inch wooden skewer through each.
CHEYENNE BURGER
Steps:
- Turkey
- Ground turkey tastes great in this combo-just make sure to use a mix of white and dark meat (90 percent lean) and cook for 5 minutes per side.
- Bacon
- This serious burger comes with two strips of bacon. Bobby likes them crisp.
- Onion Rings
- To make shoestring rings, heat 1 quart peanut oil to 360 degrees in a deep, heavy pot. Dredge thin Vidalia onion rings in flour seasoned with salt, pepper and cayenne; dip in buttermilk seasoned with salt and pepper, then dredge in more flour. Fry until golden brown, turning once or twice, about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels; season with salt.
- Cheddar
- This extra-smoky burger calls for two thick slices of smoked sharp cheddar cheese.
- Bobby's BBQ Sauce
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add the onion; cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the ketchup and 1/3 cup water, bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients (except salt and pepper); simmer for 10 minutes, or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Transfer the mixture to a food processor; puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a bowl; cool to room temperature. Spoon on burgers.
- Makes: 1 cup
ALL-AMERICAN BURGERS
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 high-quality ground beef for the best flavor. An 80/20 blend of chuck and sirloin is a good choice.
- Season the beef liberally with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to develop a nice crust on the outside of the burger.
- Form the beef into patties that are about 1/2-inch thick. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
- Top the burgers with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
