Hamburgers

Doc_Eggerton

I have cooked hundreds of cooks on my BGEs, but never did hamburgers.  We let our hair down this weekend, and I finally did it.  Very rare and juicy, and served with tomatoes from the garden, and homemade atomic garlic pickles.

This Egg was the one I did a 6 hour smoke turkey on, and there were still tons of mesquite in it, so these are smoked burger.

Still had to have veggies.

What kind of ground beef did you use?

Just plain old ground chuck.

Even the lowly hamburger is amazing on the egg!

OK, you will have to figure ingredient ratios for the container you use.

These are refrigerator pickles, not cooked, so they cannot sit out on a shelf.  These were done in a really big pickle jar I scrounged from the local deli.

3 cups water
6 cups white vinigar
4+ table spoons diced garlic
2 table spoons mustard seed
4 table spoons canning spice
5 table spoons canning, kosher or sea salt
Good dose of black pepper corns
Several sprigs of dill from the garden

Heat the water, vinegar, and salt slowly just until the salt goes into solution.  It will not come out again, and you want the brine no hotter than it has to be.

Pack the cucumbers, and put the other spice on top.  Pour the brine in to cover everything.  Refrigerate for a month or so before trying.  My current batch are about 2 years old, and are really spicy and good.

Try this same thing with onions, you will love it.
