Today at All Things Heart and Home today we are:
It’s Summer Time which means it’s time for The Husband to grill out on the weekends! One Summer before our college age kids were gone from the house, we had grilling Sunday’s. Every Sunday evening we’d grill something different and coax the adult kids home. Very often we had not only a couple of our kids but a couple of their friends too! Now that we’re empty nesters, we aren’t giving up Summer grilling!
Last weekend I asked The Husband to figure out a “go-to” burger recipe. He’s done a ton of burgers over the years but I wanted him to put together one that we could do easily that was thick, flavorful and juicy! I love beef but I don’t eat it very often for health reasons…when I do eat it I run not to a steak, but a burger.
I heart burgers!!!
I’m not even kiddin Peeps…The Husband out-did himself with this burger…it’s 2 thin patties sandwiching caramelized Vidalia Onions, Sauteed Mushrooms and Pepper Jack Cheese! Wow they were yumalicious! He did some with Blue Cheese and caramelized Vidalia onions and sauteed mushrooms too…
Just seal the edges…the recipe is coming up by the way…
When he grills he never mashes the burgers and only flips them once! You probably know this but I didn’t. I don’t grill well. I char things! Oh, and we can never get enough cheeeeeese!
He’s doing ribs this weekend but I’m serious, I’d rather have these burgers again. They were stellar! Thanks Husband! I heart you too!
The Husband’s Go-To Burgers
*2 lbs Ground Beef (Don’t get super lean meat)
*1 pack of fresh sliced mushrooms (he likes Baby Bella)
*1 med. Vidalia onion (sweet onion)
*Beef Bullion powder(sprinkled on patties like you would salt)
*Pepper Jack Cheese 6-8 slices
*Butter to saute onions /App. 2 Tablespoons
*2 shakes of soy sauce
*2 shakes of Worcestershire Sauce
Chop onions and mushrooms to small pieces.
Saute in butter & soy sauce & Worcestershire
Divide ground beef into 4 balls
Half one of the balls & make into 2 thin patties
Sprinkle both halves lightly with bullion
Place heaping spoonful of sauteed onions/mushrooms to the center on 1 of the thin patties…keeping away from edges
Place SMALL pieces of pepper jack cheese on top of mushroom mixture again not going to edges
Place second thin patty on top and seal edges (crimp the edges firmly…make sure they are sealed)
Repeat this process with other 3 beef “balls”
Grill until done. We like no pink left. Turn only once and don’t mash the juices out.
The patties are thin enough to cook rather quickly
Put another slice of cheese on hot burgers
Toast inside of lightly buttered bun on grill shelf if desired
Enjoy!

I have heard about the rare creature that comes out during the summer – the cooking hubby- but have not witnessed one until now. Thanks for sharing – the burgers look delicious!

Oh man, I need to go find something to eat, NOW! I am with you on the hankering for a hamburger! Yummo
I do most of these ingredients, although I’ve not thought of using soy sauce. Will have to try that! I do however add in ginger and love how unexpectedly it also works with hamburger.
Thanks for sharing!

Yumalicious indeed!!! Lucky you that your hubby is so good in the kitchen and on the grill. My hubby loves to grill, but I have to get everything ready and seasoned for him beforehand
.
I love that you lure the kids home with food
…. whatever it takes, right?
Take care,
ButterYum
If the burgers taste only half as good as they look, you’d still have a winner. Here. My fella didn’t get the barbecue gene, so grilling is up to me. I’ll be trying this recipe really soon.

Don’t you just love summer…..and the Husband doing the cooking? I know I try to grill out as often as possible and I have Hubs believing that I have no idea how to grill, all I had to do was burn a couple of things and he took over.

I’m not sure knighthood is enough for your burger guy, maybe a Nobel too.

Hi Robin,
The burgers look delicious. I really enjoy food cooked on the grill and especially like hamburgers. The air smells so good when you are cooking outside.
Creativity must be contagious at your home. Thanks for sharing the receipe.

That is almost exactly how I make my burger! Baby bellas and vidalias are my favorites! I like to put garlic and butter on my bun and toast it on the grill a few minutes…. I hope you had a happy Foodie Friday and are having a great weekend ~ Susan

Ha! Go-To burgers! I love it! I wish we had vidalia onions here in Hawaii, but I have looked and never found them in any of the grocery stores here, oh well, will substitute something else – thanks for the recipe!

We just made these burgers and they were great! We used Swiss cheese and loved them. I had this bright idea to make a lean 99% fat free turkey burger also for me. I should have never tasted the ground sirloin, my turkey was great until then. Sometimes you just need to splurge and the beef was better!
Thanks Mike and Rob

I do this with turkey burgers. YUM!!
I HEART burgers too!!! Oh my goodness. Those burgers look awesome. I started to think about the Food Network Hamburger Challenge as I looked at your pictures.
Thank you for the great recipe. Thank your hubby for sharing this with us, as well. So glad you joined us for Tempt My Tummy Tuesday.

Wow, this looks amazing!
I love the idea of Grilling Sundays, too, to coax the adult kids home. What a great plan!
Those hamburgers look and sound delicious. Wish he could come and cook for me!

This burger looks like a real winner! Nice idea to stuff things inside two patties. I never get tired of hamburgers. To save calories I often eat just the patty – no bread.
