Time 2h30m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 13

Four 1-inch-thick pre-made burger patties (spring for the good stuff like Pat LaFrieda or go to your butcher)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon granulated garlic powder
1 teaspoon granulated onion powder
1 teaspoon hot Hungarian paprika
8 ounces cheese sauce (I like Velveeta)
1 to 2 tablespoons dry sriracha seasoning
Butter lettuce, for serving
4 toasted burger buns, potato preferred
1/2 small red onion, sliced paper thin
1/2 cup fried jalapenos (I like French's), crushed

Steps:

  • Place the patties on a tray in one layer. Mix the salt, pepper, cumin, garlic and onion powders and paprika in a small bowl. Sprinkle on both sides of the patties and rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
  • Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
  • Add the patties to the grill and cook to desired doneness, flipping once.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the cheese sauce and sriracha seasoning in a small saucepot. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until fully combined and hot.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1/2 cup tarragon, chopped
1/4 cup chives, sliced
1/4 cup Italian parsley, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin (80/20 ratio)
4 ounces sliced pancetta
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
4 potato buns
8 slices Muenster cheese
1 yellow or red heirloom tomato, sliced into 1/2-thick slices
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 heads baby gem lettuce

Steps:

  • For the herb mayo: Combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, tarragon, chives and parsley in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until well blended.
  • For the burgers: Divide the ground beef into four equal portions. Gently form each portion into patties 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick and 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Do not over work or tightly pack the meat or the burgers will not be tender. Place on a plate or sheet tray and bring to room temperature.
  • Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Take the slices of pancetta and place them in the pan. Begin to render the pancetta on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes, rotating the pancetta until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels and let cool. Reserve the pancetta fat in the pan and use as a fat substitute instead of butter to toast the buns in.
  • Brush a griddle with the pancetta fat and preheat to medium-high heat.
  • Sprinkle the burgers on each side with salt and pepper. Place the burgers on the brushed and heated griddle and cook 4 to 5 minutes each side for medium rare.
  • Brush the buns with pancetta fat and toast on the griddle until golden brown.
  • When the burgers are almost finished, top each with 2 slices of the cheese and cook for 2 to 4 minutes. Take the burgers off the griddle and let rest.
  • Mix the tomato slices with the vinegar and season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread the herbed mayonnaise on the buns. Top with lettuce, tomato, a burger and a piece of pancetta.

DOUBLE CHEESEBURGERS WITH CRISP PANCETTA AND SPECIAL SAUCE



Double Cheeseburgers with Crisp Pancetta and Special Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1 tablespoon steak sauce
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Pinch of kosher salt
24 dill pickle chips
Vegetable oil, for frying
12 thin slices pancetta
2 pounds ground beef (80/20)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 slices processed cheese, such as Velveeta Slices
2 medium tomatoes, sliced
6 leaves iceberg lettuce
6 seedless hamburger buns, split and lightly toasted

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Stir together the ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard and steak sauce in a medium bowl, and set aside.
  • For the fried pickles: Add the breadcrumbs, onion powder, paprika, cayenne and salt to a large re-sealable bag, and shake to combine.
  • Add the pickle chips to the bag, shake to coat. Remove them from the bag and spread on a baking sheet.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet with 1 inch of oil to 350 degrees F.
  • Add the pickle chips to the skillet in batches and fry for about 30 seconds per side or until golden brown.
  • Remove the pickle chips to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and reserve.
  • For the cheeseburgers: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, and prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Arrange the pancetta on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake the pancetta until golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Add 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the beef in a medium bowl and mix well with your hands. Press the meat in one thin layer on a 18-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet.
  • Use a knife or pizza cutter to divide the meat into 12 square patties.
  • Grill the patties on one side until halfway cooked, about 3 minutes.
  • Flip the patties, top with a slice of cheese and continue cooking until cooked through and the cheese begins to melt, 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Build each burger in a split bun as follows: patty, schmear of special sauce, slice of pancetta, 2 pickles and repeat. Top with the tomato and lettuce.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Pancetta should be firm and not too fatty. Use a good quality ground beef, such as 80/20 chuck. Choose a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss.
  • Season the beef patties generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or paprika. To enhance the flavor of the patties, let them rest for at least 15 minutes before cooking.
  • Cook the patties over medium-high heat: This will create a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the patties are cooked to your desired doneness. Medium is a safe choice for most people.
  • Toast the buns: Toasting the buns will help them hold up better to the juicy patties and toppings. You can toast them in a toaster, on a grill, or in a pan with a little butter.
  • Add your favorite toppings: In addition to the cheese, you can add other toppings to your cheeseburgers, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and ketchup. Feel free to get creative and experiment with different combinations. Serve the burgers immediately.

Conclusion:

Pancetta cheeseburgers are a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for any occasion. With their savory pancetta, juicy beef patties, melted cheese, and toasted buns, they are sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a great burger recipe, give pancetta cheeseburgers a try. You won't be disappointed.
