This is from Quick Cooking (2001) and credited to Jo Reed. I made these (with a few changes) for an afternoon BBQ and my guests just loved the flavor of these burgers! I omitted the bacon, mushrooms, and horseradish, and made smaller, single-decker burgers to yield more than 3 servings.

Tips for Making Paul Bunyan Burgers

  • Use high-quality beef. Ground chuck is a good choice, as it has a good balance of fat and lean meat. You can also use ground sirloin or ground round, but these cuts are leaner and may not be as flavorful.
  • Season the beef well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or oregano.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from drying out. Cook the burgers for about 4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Top the burgers with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion. You can also add a fried egg or avocado.
  • Serve the burgers on a bun with your favorite sides. Some popular sides include fries, onion rings, or coleslaw.
