I love making my own burger meat. All you need is some ground beef (I even have good luck with frozen) and some spices. But what do you do to make it extra special?
My family has always used 3% beef, so I need to get creative to make the patties more moist. A few years ago I started adding cheese to the meat mix. My standby has traditionally been feta for both not being too greasy and imparting a great but not too salty flavor. I of course use regular seasonings like salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and shit like that.
But a few weeks ago I went crazy. I put a 4 parmesan blend in the meat, and then cut up some salami into tiny pieces and put that in there. I couldn't believe how disgustingly delicious that burger was. Far better than any bacon burger I had ever consumed.
I want to try putting some mustard in the mix next time. I fucking love mustard. What do you guys put in your burger batter?
