Making a simple burger couldn’t be easier. If you have a toaster oven you can use the broiler setting. During the winter you can use your oven. There is a top heating element for the broiler setting. You don’t need any special equipment. Just a wire rack and a cookie sheet.
For my seasoning, I used a Canadian Chicken seasoning. It smelt delicious. I used a teaspoon total with the ¼ teaspoon for salt and pepper. Just use whatever seasoning you have and like.
Meat is an important decision. You want to use good quality of meat. That will depend on if you are a beef burger person or a turkey burger. If you are in the position to get access to meat that has been hunted for subsistence even better. You can feel free to season your burger as you shape them.
Cheese. I used a Gouda I got a Wal-Mart for $1.99 to $2.00. You can use whatever cheese you like. Just make sure it will melt the way you like. Usually, your semi-soft cheese are the best choice here.
Rolls. I love the rolls at Burger King. They are awesome. When I can I will get the Ball Park rolls with sesame seeds on top because they are the closet thing I have found to the BK rolls.
Toppings. I am a very simple person. I don’t want a bunch of stuff. I just want cheese sauce or mayo, mustard, ketchup. I love the special sauce at McDonald’s. I found recipes to make it at home on Pinterest. Recently I found Todd Wilbur’s version and it’s not bad.
Cooking. Once you have your broiler set up then decide do you want it fully done like my daughter or slightly pink like myself. That’s something you will notice from the picture and video. I like my burger just past the raw stage but not so done when I go to reheat another later it will be cooked to the point of having the texture of a flip flop. Everyone is different. I tend to do more than one meal at a time when it comes to burgers. I want one for that meal and one for the next day.
