My wife and I have a little game that we play daily. She comes up with ideas for dinner an I figure out how to make them :-D It makes dinner time more like a cooking show :rolleyes:
For yesterday's dinner she couldn't decide between home made gyros or burgers, so I made...
I am going to freeze some 80% lean 20% fat ground chuck as burger patties. Out of habit, I never season burgers before freezing them. I am thinking I would like to do this differently so I end up with a pre-seasoned burger that can go from the freezer to the grill. Does anybody pre-season...
I finally had a chance to season my 22” Blackstone griddle this weekend. The cooktop had a weld mark or some kind of high spot, a few burs & was pretty sharp. A file & sandpaper solved it but it’s a shame it went out the door like that. It seasoned pretty quickly then I was off & running. I did...

It’s been hot this last week here in Low Cal (Upper 90’s to low 100’s) but today it cooled off, so I grilled a few Cheeseburgers. I started out by cutting 2 russet potatoes up into 1/8th and then tossed in some OO and seasoned with some fresh ground salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and some...
Introducing the NAFTA Burger!
I used some turkey burges to finish seasoning the griddle. Onion, jalapenos, and mushrooms on the other side.
Onions caramelized. SLiced up some Roma tomatoes...
Grilled and sliced the jalapenos....
Seasoned some beef patties with Oakridge Carne Crosta...
Sent the long weekend off in style with a Double Meat Double Cheese Burger. Fired up Jr. for the patties.
Flipped and removed them when they were done so I could add the cheese.
Toasted the buns.
One more time of the grill to melt the cheese.
Plated this up with some...
For the long weekend we started out being invited over to our neighbor’s house for hamburgers. I was tasked with grilling up some corn.
Once these started getting some golden-brown char marks, I put them in a large rectangular pan and covered them with foil. We took this over with two...
When shopping and got some groceries we needed. Picked up some nice brioche buns and we made cheeseburgers on the Akorn Jr. again. Sliced up the veggies.
Cooked up the burgers.
Assembled my cheeseburger and plated it with a slice of watermelon, some pringles and a Modern Times...
SoCal has been scorching hot the last 3 days. Friday was 111 in the shade of my patio. Like Sako’s, this was the day my neighbor’s air conditioning decided to quit working. They brought over their dogs for us to try and keep cool while they worked on it and went out to eat to cool off...
We were on vacation / staycation this last week so I didn’t really have a lot of time to properly document my different cooks do to having company. I did get a few pics / money shots.
Before our company arrived, I started out making the Wahoo fish tacos in this cook...
Yesterday I inched closer to retirement as I had my 61st birthday. In the morning my wife blessed me with some nice gifts. She said these were all to help me enjoy the outdoors more. (Not sure I needed more things to do that but :thumb:) First thing she had me open is this Landman fire pit...
Ham / Cheese burgers are just so easy and delicious to make on the Akorn Jr. that I made some more on Saturday.
Plated with some watermelon, potato salad and a Modelo Negra
Thanks for looking.
Wanted a quick cook tonight so I broke out my neglected Akorn Jr. that I haven’t used for a few months. Put a small chimney of lump on the side burner for quick ignition.
Dumped it into Jr. and put 3 frozen Kirkland patties’ on with some seasoning.
After approximately 5 minutes they were nice...
After the new Red Kettle had burned for approximately 90 minutes initiated it with a fast cheese burger cook.
Let the patties heat up indirect at first.
Once they were sweating I moved them over for a 90 second sear on each side
and then move back to the indirect side to melt...
Bacon Chile Cheeseburger
With Labor Day kind of signaling the end of summer I figured I might as well go out with a bang. We had company over and I cooked up Bacon Chile Cheeseburgers. (Hatch Chile that is) Yesterday I cooked up a mess of bacon to use in these burgers.
Today I made...
Last time I made this I declared it as the “Best Burger Ever” so I really wanted to make it again. I did tweak a few things in an effort to make it ever better.
Started out with some ground Bison (American Buffalo) meat.
Mixed in some diced onion and Blue Cheese crumbles...
After such a fabulous dinner at Donovan’s La Jolla we wanted to take it easy with our Sunday dinner. We decided on a simple all American Cheese Burger. It’s a fast and easy but very delicious meal.
Patties on the Jumbo Joe.
And plated up with some Fritos, watermelon and a Sierra Nevada...
