Celebrating “National Cheeseburger Day” With This Culinary Work Of Art!

That my friends is a 9-patty cheeseburger – what better way to celebrate National Cheeseburger Day!

Of course, if that just too much, I have 5 great recipes you can make at home!

A “Cheese On The Outside” Burger!

I came across this a few years ago and had to try it: an everyday burger with a unique way to eat it!

First, cook your burger: I add Worcestershire sauce and a bit of diced onion to my patty, then salt and pepper it and cook it about 5 minutes per side…nothing more to add!

While it was cooking, I sliced a block of Tillamook Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese, which is a personal favorite – I put it in a pan to heat and slowly melt:

I then added a little bit of milk – how much is strictly a matter of getting the right consistency:

As you can see, I got a creamy, slickly thickened consistency because I added more cheese back and continued to stir over low heat…and of course I turned the burgers so they could finish cooking as well – then it was time to take a bun, put it on a plate, and add a nice thick slice of onion:

I also added some cooked bacon to it – totally your call, not needed at all…and now, the burger was ready to eat – after doing one more thing!

I put the patties, onion and bacon on a hefty bun and moved the cheese into a nice looking ramekin – then it was time to dip!

My Cheese-Dipped Burger Worked!

Well, this is how it turned out and it was delicious!

The “Burger Dip” is a move you have to make quick, because as the cheese cools it’s more difficult to get it to coat the burger…I think a bit runnier would have been even better.

You really have to keep a close eye on the thickness of the cheese sauce, and it takes a bit to get it coated right – but it worked an it was very tasty indeed!

Here’s the entire recipe if you want even more detail:

Next up is another way to make a unique burger: a “Juicy Lucy!”

You see, this one is a cheeseburger, with the cheese stuffed inside the burger!

I made this burger on two separate occasions, and both times the burger was a bit raw, which I like – but honestly doesn’t make it look at tempting, and the cheese was melty but not oozing too much…a bit more slow cooking would have done even better – but it was delicious regardless!

As some of you know, I have been making short videos showing the entire process and did so again here…enjoy the making of a juicy Lucy – plus my taste test here:

Here’s a burger I made to celebrate the film “Pulp Fiction” – yes, I made the “Big Kahuna” Burger made famous in the movie!

It’s easy: grill a burger – and a thick slice of pineapple as well:

Time To Grill!

I heated my outdoor grill and put the hamburger on first…after 6 minutes I flipped it, then added the pineapple and the brioche bun to toast for a minute…

I got nice grill marks on the pineapple, then put it on top of the burger for a minute, and now it was time to build a “burger base!”

I got nice, toasty grill marks on my bottom bun, and I slathered a healthy dollop of lemon mayo on the bottom, then laid some blanched asparagus down next…

Sliced cherry tomatoes were next – yes, the recipe called for a nicely sliced large tomato, but I used what I had! Then, add the burger, pineapple and lay a nice chunk of lobster on top of it all!

I will pause here to say this is already a work of “burger art”…so many vibrant colors and flavors, just waiting for a top!

The Burger Bar “Surf And Turf” Burger!

There it is: almost six inches tall, with vibrant colors and an impressive look!

I love this burger’s look: the creamy lemon mayo and the crisp green asparagus; bright red tomato, a nice medium-rare burger patty with a hint of salt and Pepper, the yellow pineapple and the bright red lobster claw!

See the entire recipe here as well as a look at the film it’s based on!

Now, don’t judge me.

DO NOT JUDGE ME.

This is my personal favorite burger of all time – one that I created while working in a hamburger stand in high school:

My “French Fry Tartar Sauce” Bacon Cheeseburger!

I love burgers. And bacon.

AND TARTAR SAUCE TOO.

So why not take care of all of my vices in one perfect bite?

Yes, I’ve been making these for years and I love them!

It’s so easy to be so happy: cook up a burger (i add diced onion and garlic to mine) and just before you finish cooking it, lay a few cooked french fries on top, then top with tartar sauce…finally, lay down a piece of cheese….i use both sharp cheddar AND Mozzarella….once it melts you are ready to bite down hard!

Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it – and you will never knock it again!
