This recipe on how to prepare the ground beef is now my "go to" for making burgers
I would like to thank my friend Rob-A-Lou for this one!
BEWARE: there is a lot of garlic in here!
*you will need a hand (stick) mixer for this as it fits nicely in the measuring cup you'll need for the "secret ingredients". 2 cup size is perfect for this.
*warning! this is very garlicky - don't breathe near anyone for a month! (just kidding about the month.)
Ingredients:
Grab your measuring cup and we'll use this to make the secret ingredients for the meat.
Peel ALL the cloves of garlic in that bulb and put in that measuring cup.
Peel and cut the shallot into the measuring cup.
Add some salt and pepper
Now take that stick mixer and use the low setting first and start blending that, once it's a little more broken down, turn it up on high and blend that until it's nearly a liquid like goop.
In a big bowl, put the chop meat and this mixture and mix it all, by hand until completely blended nicely.
Make burger patties and cook 'em up!
While they are cooking, slice up your tomato and mozzarella.
Take the largest basil leaves you can find and take off the stem.
Put the mozzarella on top of the burgers for a few minutes until they melt when you are almost ready to call them done.
Drizzle balsamic glaze on the top and bottom bun.
Build your burger - Burger, tomato, basil - cheese is already there.
Enjoy!
