Bobby Flay's Crunchburger

Bobby Flay's Crunchburger | Kita Roberts PassTheSushi.com
Vary rarely do I make a recipe exactly as it states. I don't ever measure (unless I'm baking), I just toss things in, add things, omit things, and pretty much wing it after the title and initial concept are established. I also grind my own meat, 99% of the time. And damned if I have not whipped up some amazing burgers.

The one single solitary time that I grab some ground beef from the market in a rush and follow a recipe to a T, don't you know what happens. Handsome takes one bite and exclaims that it's the best burger he's had in months. This food blogger is gunna quit.

But it was a pretty killer burger, horseradish sauce and all.

And the best part is it's one of the recipes for this months Pass the Cook Book Club!

    I always get annoyed when I make some super easy dessert and people can't get over how amazing it is... and then there is something that took so much longer and they like it but, you know, it is fine!

    Oh man, I hate it when that happens. You need to find some subtle cue that you can give your guy so he knows when not to say that a meal's 'the best ever.' I think it looks delicious...especially with that oozy, melting cheese. Wow.

    The wife said the same thing...whatevs. It was a killer burger. She now wants me to put the salt and pepper on the outside of the burger...never on the inside mixed with the meat again. *sigh* Thanks bobby for ruining my game!

    Murphy's law of cooking: the family loves dinner made from a mix more than the one that took 3 hours of slaving. Seriously, it's why I grill steaks at Christmas and make enchiladas for Thanksgiving. Thanks for picking some great burgers this month. The Crunchburgers were a big hit at my house, too.

    I'm no measure-er either, I'm a winger. And the more horseradish the better. Tasty!

    Shane won't stop talking about these burgers either, he loved them so much! I even made them with ground turkey, I can't imagine how crazy he'd have gone for ground beef 🙂

    Kita, I'm sure you've whipped up some amazing burgers but I'm with your husband on this! The simplicity of these patties really made them the best burgers I've ever had too!! Such a great selection for the club!!
