GOOD BURGER

never underestimate the power of a good home cooked meal . of course there are those times when the last thing you want to do when you get home is to cook, I'm not saying there isn't planning involved , (if your lucky, you'll get better and eventually be able to be more spontaneous with the ingredients in your fridge). I still have vivid memories as a kid grilling burgers in the winter time (late fall,or maybe there really was snow on the ground), anyways, part of what made those bacon cheese burgers with a toasted english muffin slathered with peanut butter on one side and mayonaise on the other with a lot of garlic powder so good was a combination of the time of year, the fact that i actually grilled them meself in my back yard and the biggest part, was knowing?/believing a certain combination of ingredients will taste good. When i lived in seattle , there was a pizza place owned by two brothers, and basically what stood out most about them was that they put fresh herbs in the crust . Ok so now i've come back around to what i first started talking about , forget about that best burger in NY. nonsense , you'll drive yourself crazy and end up weighing 900lbs, and the same goes for all the barbeque joints. So what makes a good burger ? Personally you have to add something to the beef prior to grilling even if its just fresh ground black pepper. ok so here is a recipe for a burger that i made recently grabbing items from my fridge 

for two burgers

1/2 pound beef

1/2 finely chopped oninon

1 clove garlic finely chopped

1/4 jalapeno pepper finely chopped

1 sausage Finely chopped (i used chicken suasage)

 briefly saute onion,garlic, and jalepenoa in a little oil , add to beef make patties and cook like normal 

finish with a  little cheese , lettuce and tomato 

+ Here are some pro tips: 1. apparently real cooks keep a jar of bacon grease somewhere close by , use that to saute the onion, garlic, and jalapeno in , and then pour all of it into the beef 

2. try and get some real provolone from the cheese shop
