Creamy Mushroom Burger

Thick, creamy mushroom burger goodness awaits you! Oh, and there’s the added bonus of a little crunch from some French fried onions too! Now, you could up and ‘cheat’ and just warm up some canned cream of mushroom soup and make these burgers, but believe me, making the creamy mushroom sauce is very easy, and it tastes soooo much better than anything you’d ever get out of a can.

Creamy Mushroom Burger

This creamy mushroom burger almost like having a mushroom stroganoff on a bun. It’s messy. Like a good burger should be. It’s gonna drip every time you take a bit. That’s a good thing. You’re gonna get sauce all over your mouth. You’re supposed to.

I like to save a little piece of the bun for the very end. It makes for the perfect tool for sopping up all those drippings that made it onto the plate.

This delicious burger is another fantastic recipe from Chef Aaron McCargo, Jr, from the Food Network.

Queso Burgers

There’s no need to always get all fancy with a burger. Sometimes you just need a little sauce on top. Like this one. Ooey gooey with some kick. Keep some chips on hand in case some of the cheesy goodness drips off these queso burgers. Ok, not ‘in case’. It will drip. There’s no stopping it. These are messy burgers. You know that going in. And that’s part of what makes them so good!

Queso Burgers

The Perfect Cheese Sauce

The cheese sauce is good on everything, from hot dogs to nachos, to mac-and-cheese. Make a double batch of it. Use half for these queso burgers. Use the other half for dipping warmed tortilla chips. Lunch is ready!

I like to use a burger press when I make burgers. It, in combination with some patty papers, enables me to crank out a whole bunch of equally-sized burger patties in no time at all with little cleanup.

If you have a smoker you’ll want to try smoking your burger patties instead of grilling them.

West Coast Burger

Brian Boitano, the gold medal skater, had a show on the Food Network for a while called What Would Brian Boitano Make? that was actually quite good. He cooked up all sorts of great food ideas, many of which were for entertaining. I’ve made a number of his recipes and they’ve all come out fantastic, including this one for a West Coast burger.

West Coast Burger

Burger Greatness

There are two things that make this West Coast burger a great burger: the sauce and the onions. The sauce is a great combination of your usual burger toppings with a little hot sauce and garlic powder added in for extra flavor. The onions are sautéed, which isn’t anything spectacular. But, what is spectacular is that you add in mustard at the end of the sautéing. That really takes the onions to a new level. What a great idea!
