I love burgers and hotdogs and so the more garlic the better!! When I want some BBQ sauce I bug my friend Keith. His company makes a yummy garlicky blend of spices, onions, and herbs, in a thick tomato base. I love when my money goes to someone with similar political beliefs.  :popcorn:

Homemade BBQ sauce should be easy to make.  I make good BBQ beans.   Well I like them anyway.   :-)

I just love to cook.  My wife thinks I should be a chef, but if I did it all day long, I'd learn to hate it.
That's usually how it works.  I used to enjoy computers... now I merely tolerate them. :lmao:

Cooking for a living stinks.  You don't get to be a 'chef' overnight and usually have to work your way up from the bottom.  I met a lot of people that went to culinary school and found out what it's like to actually work in a restaurant after they spent all that money.
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

I have no formal or informal training.  In fact, my Mom never helped me.  My Grandmother taught me biscuits.  That is it.  The rest, I learned by doing.

For Firekrakka:

    3 pounds ground brisket or chuck
    Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
    8 kaiser or onion buns, split
    8 thin slices Swiss cheese
    Tomatoes
    Lettuce
    Onion (raw and grilled)
    Sauteed shrooms
    Mayo(I add horseradish to mine)
    Dijon
    1/2 pound thin sliced Pastrami, heated through.
    1 pound bacon of choice, fried.
 
    Preparation

    1. In a large bowl, lightly season ground meat with salt and pepper if you like and mix in gently with your hands. To shape the burgers, take about 1/8 of meat and form it into a meatball; then flatten it a between your hands until it's about 3/4 in. thick. Turn the patty on your palm while firming up its edges with the thumb and forefingers of your other hand (your goal is to get rid of a crumbly edge). Press a small dent in the middle.  Grilled burgers tend to swell in the middle.  Repeat with remaining meat. Let burgers rest at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
    2. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for high heat Wipe grate with oil.
    3. Sprinkle burgers with salt and pepper (especially if you chose not to season the meat in Step 1). Grill burgers 4 to 6 minutes, turning once, for rare, (For a medium to well-done burger, cook over medium-high heat (about 450°) for 10 minutes total; topping with cheese during the final minute or two.
    4. Transfer burgers to a plate. Clean grate with oiled paper towels. Toast buns on grill 1 minute.   
Build burgers to taste.   Use bacon and/or pastrami for a new take on bacon burgers.

No problem.  One of my personal favorites, the Pastrami Burger.    I also  make a fantastic teriyaki burger.   The trick to any burger is high heat, thinner in the middle, never press, and flip only once.

There's a certain local burger chain in the Salt Lake City area -- Crown Burgers is the name -- that does these. They're monsters and they're decadent.

You need six napkins, not just one.

This was the place where I learned about "fry sauce." Fry sauce is not much more than a mixture of ketchup and mayo -- maybe some onion and garlic powder, but that's it.

Some put spices in and call it Southwest Sauce.  Some put ginger in it and call it Shrimp Sauce.  Ronald McDonald calls it Secret Sauce.

My Mom calls it Thousand Island Dressing.

Yum!! The best burgers I ever had was Big Bubba Buck's Belly Bustin' Bliss in Munfordville, KY. Tastes so good it'll make you smack your mama. I have no doubt yours is better though.  :-)

Dunno about the TI dressing. Any I've ever seen has some lumps of what looks like pickle relish in it. Tiny, small little pieces. But pickle relish. Might even be dill, but I doubt it. TI dressing is rather sweet.

If you eat thousand island dressing, it's easy to make with ketchup and mayo.   You can also add sweet relish, or any other thing you want to it.

I don't know how people eat TI dressing on a lettuce-type salad.  Seems gunky.  I only like it on Reubens, and then I really like it.

I agree. TI seems to defeat the purpose of eating something light and light on the palate.

For salad dressing, it's gotta be TI. For Reuben sandwiches, ONLY BLEU CHEESE!

I grew up eating lettuce wedges with TI.  I also do my worst calorie damage with lots of dressings, like blue cheese and ranch.
