Someone posted about German Burgers. I found some in Cole Camp, MO of all places. The owner told me they were 2/3 country seasoned sausage, 1/3 ground chuck. Is this even close to correct. I might pick some up on the way home. Also, why can't this be made with sausage and ground chuck from the store?[p]Mike

    Car Wash Mike,
    You can if it's German sausage. I grew up on that stuff in New England. Havn't seen raw German in 30 years. [p]Cheers, Glenn

    Car Wash Mike,
    Does tis help?[p]Beef, Burger, Killer Beef n' Sausage, Pepper Jack, T-Bone

    This is a great burger for those tired of the same old and ready to spice thing up a bit.
    [p]Ingredients:
    2 lb Super lean ground beef - a ground chuck is nice
    1 lb Owens country sausage - use either regular or hot depends on your taste
    1 dash White pepper - balck is fine as well
    1 pinch Salt to taste - go easy the sausage has plenty
    Pepper Jack cheese - slices
    Your favorite hamburger bun
    Stadium mustard if you can get it - THE BEST EVER!!!!



    Preparation Directions:
    1 Pretty simple really - mix sausage and ground beef together - mix well but handle as little as possible - makes patties easier to form and the texture of the burgers comes out a little nicer. Sprinkle with any additional spices..
    2 Divide into patties to your liking -thinner patties work well, they cook through easier which is important when using pork - don't worry they will not dry out.
    Cooking Directions:
    1 Place patties on BGE over high heat - cover to help seal in juices, turn after 3-4 min, cover with one slice of pepper jack cheese, cook an additional 2-3 or until cooked through. After burgers are turned you can toast a bun with an extra slice of american cheese if you are really wanting to push the envelope.
    Special Instructions:
    1 If you must put something on these burgers use a slather of stadium mustard. No veggies allowed!
    2 first time do not add any extra seasoning - there is plenty in the pork, after you taste one, come back and experiment with a little extra pepper or salt or even a touch of basil or sage. You can also change up the ratio of beef to sausage, just a touch of sausage goes a long way to spice up and moisten hamburger meat - it also allows you to grind leaner cuts of meat(Venison or elk anyone?) which give the burgers nice flavors and textures. - EXPERIMENT.
    3 Always have an extra patty on the grill to cut in half to make sure burgers are done - if they are, eat that patty before going in!!! Throw the dog a bite he loves you the most anyway.
    4 Serve with a spicy/sweet batch of baked beans - lots of great recipies already here and a nice cold beer to wash down the jalapeno in the cheese.

    Hi Car Wash Mike,
    I checked The Sausage Ring.com & my books & found Smoked Country Sausage.
    No reason you can't make this at home & I know it'll taste better than what I can buy at the store.
    Smoked Country Sausage:
    3 lbs. ground pork
    1 T brown sugar
    1 T kosher salt
    1 T sweet Hungarian paprika
    2 t red pepper flakes
    1 t ground sage
    1 t dried thyme
    pinch of ground allspice[p]For cold smoking add 3/4 t curing salts & 1/2 cup water[p]Cheers,
    bruce[p][p]

    Thanks Richard,
    I discovered Pepper Jack Cheese at a very young age. Every Saturday morning we made our homemade sausage for the store. I actually made a pig head out of it before putting it in the fresh (full service) meat counter. There always seemed to be enough sausage leftover for breakfast with Pepper Jack Cheese.
    Thanks again.[p]Mike

    wobin,
    The store is litterally 1 block off the main drive home. I think I will stop and see what they have. The town has a German Beer Fest every year. I will check back with you to see what I'm getting.[p]Mike
