The Pizza Burger

Sadly I lost the picture of this burger when I upgrade my iPhone.  The burger was seasoned with Italian seasoning, melted mozzarella, layered with pepperoni, and covered in pizza sauce.  For the bun we used potato bread and brushed it with garlic butter.  It really is too bad I lost the picture, it was sooo good!

The BOB Burger

Oh this one was goooood! I combined beef with bratwurst for the patties.  Covered it with cheese and sauteed onions and placed it on a toasted kaiser roll.  I got the idea from a co-worker, so I named it after him.

Thanks Bob!

The Sourdough Jake

Jake copied Jack in the Box and then made it bigger and better!

The Taco Burger

I don't think I have mentioned in the past that we use a secret combination of ingredients in all of our patties, except this one. I used a packet of taco seasoning and a little water to flavor this patty.  On top was a shredded three cheese blend, ortega chilies, sour cream, and avocado. 

The Bacon Guacamole Burger

We used our favorite combinations on this burger, blue cheese, cheddar cheese, and bacon. The kicker here was guacamole and it paid off.

The "Ham" Burger w/Egg

This easily could of been called the breakfast burger.  Eggs, ham, and wheat bun.  Good thing I added a couple huge patties to clearify it was meant for dinner!

The Omega Quadrant Burger... lame...

There is nothing lame about this burger, except the inside joke.  I mean how could a burger be lame with grilled onions, 2 slices of american cheese, blue cheese crumbles, 1000 island dressing, all on rye bread.

It can't! (unless it was from the Omega Quadrant)

The Grilled Grilled Cheese Cheese Burger

Obviously I love burgers.  I also love grilled cheese sandwiches, so I combined the two together.  Tomato goes good with grilled cheese and bacon goes good with anything, so those were obvious additions to the burger.

Thai Peanut Burger

Another favorite burger is the Thai Peanut Burger.  I mixed peanut butter, rice vinegar, and soy sauce with the beef.  The patties had a hard time staying together on the grill, but it was worth it.  The burger is sweet and salty. I added sliced cucumbers on top for some texture.  Trust me, this tastes better than you might think.

The Gentleman

I love pineapple and I love this burger.  The beef was soaked in pineapple teriyaki sauce before it was even placed on the grill.  We used a fresh pineapple instead of buying canned.  Add sliced mozzarella and 1000 island dressing and you have The Gentleman. 

The Sliders

These little guys were awesome. I made about 24 mini patties and just piled them up in any combination we could think of.  We had bacon, tomato, blue cheese, cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce, pepper jelly, and JALAPENO POPPERS! 

The Mushroom Swiss Burger

Mushrooms sauteed in balsamic vinegar.  Enough said, right? Ok, there was swiss cheese and bacon too.  Really good burger!

The Avocado Ranch Turkey Burger

After all the beef we had consumed, I decided to throw in a "healthier" burger.  This was the first and only time we used ground turkey.  Thank god for the bacon! It also had avocado ranch, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, and tomato. Not my favorite burger, but it was still good.

The Stuffed Cream Cheese Burger

This burger was a tasty one.  On the outside the burger still looks like a winner, but once you take a bite the cream cheese goodness comes out! Yes, the patty is stuffed with cream cheese and diced jalapenos.  The bun has cheddar cheese baked into it as well.  Top it off with a couple strips of bacon and a layer of pepper jelly.

The Caprese Burger

This is the first unique tasting burger we made.  Pretty simple really.  Two burger patties with mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, and balsamic vinegar.  I soaked the top portion of the bun in the vinegar. 

The Monster Burger!

This is literally a MONSTER! Jake used 3 pounds of beef to put my Epic Burger to shame.  We had to go to Safeway and have them make us a special bun to fit the burger.  We used 8 slices of cheddar cheese, an entire container of gorgonzola crumbs, 3 whole tomatoes, 1 head of lettuce, 8 strips of bacon, and a lot of sliced pickles.

We cut the burger into four sections, but we could not put the Monster down.

The Epic Burger

This was the burger that started it all.  After I made this delicous burger, by accident, we decided to make this a Wednesday night tradition.  Hence, BURGER NITE!

I did not intend to make it a double, but for visual puposes I am glad I did.  The patties were huge and very juicy.  I put blue cheese crumbles under the cheddar cheese because we couldn't decided which of the cheeses we wanted more.  Of course there was lettuce, pickle, tomato, and avocado.  I think Jake added the bacon last minute.

Jake finished his, but I failed.  :-(
