Gourmet Mini Burgers Recipe
Chef Jason K. Morse, C.E.C. , Valley Country Club
Serves 2
6 Mini burger buns
12 oz. Ground chuck
Kosher salt to taste
Ground black pepper to taste
3/4 cup White cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 Yellow onion, julienned
Butter
1-1/2 cups Shoestring potatoes
Mayonnaise, as needed
Mustard, as needed
Ketchup, as needed
Pickles, as needed
Sauté onions in butter and set aside. Season the ground beef with salt and pepper and form into 6 patties. Grill or sauté burgers to desired temperature, add a little seasoning while grilling. While the burgers are cooking, grill the buns. When the burgers are close to done, top with the cheese and allow to melt. Place the burgers on the toasted buns and top with onions, pickles and favorite condiments. Arrange the mini burgers onto a round plate and place the shoestring potato sticks in the center. This is a great recipe to try your own flavors, try them blackened, or use different sauces, and have fun!
