I recently discovered that National Cheeseburger Day is this Wednesday, September 18th! When I started this blog, I researched all the national food days to feature some of them, and I was amazed by how many foods are recognized. This is definitely one I'm excited about!
Cheeseburgers are a regular in our household, appearing at least once a week, or every other week if I'm not on top of things. They're incredibly popular right now, evolving far beyond just meat and cheese. It seems like there's a cheeseburger version of almost any dish you can imagine. Personally, I'm not on board with that trend. While I'm open to tweaking my usual cheeseburger recipe (as I've done here), I prefer not to mess with a good thing!
Here's how I gave my cheeseburger a makeover. Stay tuned, as I'll be sharing the recipe for these homemade burger buns later this week!
Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs. ground sirloin
1 small shallot, minced
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. Montreal Steak Seasoning
4 slices of cheese, I used provolone
Salt and pepper to taste
4 hamburger buns
In a medium mixing bowl. Combine hamburger meat, shallots, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, steak seasoning, salt and pepper. Mix until combined without over-mixing. Pat the top of the meat down and with the side of your hand score the meat into fours. Form each patty by lightly rolling the meat into a ball then slightly pat down while forming a well in the middle of the patty to prevent the burger from shrinking.
To grill: Lightly spray the grates of a gas grill with cooking spray. Preheat your grill to 350 degrees. Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for 5 minutes without touching the patties. Flip the burger and cook for another 5 minutes. Place the compound butter and then the cheese on the burger. Place the burger buns on the grill to toast. Cook until the cheese is melted and the buns have toasted. About 1-2 minutes.
