Best 7 Bubbas Quarter Pound Burgers Recipes

PERFECT BURGER

Steps:

• Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
• IF USING A GRILL: Heat a gas grill to high or heat coals in a charcoal grill until they glow bright orange and ash over. Brush the burgers with the oil. Grill the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese; see step 3) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
• IF USING A GRILL PAN: Heat a grill pan over high heat on top of the stove. Cook the burgers as for a grill, above.
• IF USING A SAUTE PAN OR GRIDDLE (PREFERABLY CAST IRON): Heat the oil in the pan or griddle over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer. Cook the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
• Add the cheese, if using, to the tops of the burgers during the last minute of cooking and top with a basting cover, close the grill cover, or tent the burgers with aluminum foil to melt the cheese.
• Sandwich the hot burgers between the buns and serve immediately.

BUBBA'S QUARTER POUND BURGERS

Steps:

• Throw everything in a large bowl, and mix together. I like to wear disposable vinyl gloves so that I can really get in there and mush it up without having to worry about cleaning my hands.
• Using the 1/3 cup measure, scoop out the mixture and form into patties.
• At this point, you can either wrap for the freezer, or refrigerate until ready to grill. Chilled burgers are easier to manage on the grill, and won't fall apart.
• Preheat the BBQ to the Medium setting. Grill burger for 5 minutes on each side.
• *NOTE* This mixture will yield 7 burgers. Even though there are only the two of us, I cook them all at the same time. What isn't eaten is wrapped and put in the fridge for the next day. The best way to reheat, is in the microwave. Cover in plastic wrap and heat for 4 minutes at 50% power. They get nice and hot without drying up or turning to rubber. Tastes like it came right off the BBQ.
• I hope you enjoy these as much as we did.

JUICY QUARTER POUNDER BURGERS

Steps:

• Pre-heat broiler to 500°F.
• In a large bowl add all the burger ingredients together (except the buns).
• Mix well, (don't be afraid to use your hands, just make sure you wash them well before and after mixing).
• Divide your mixture into 4 equal parts. (i use a scale to make sure the meat is divided equally).
• Shape each of the 4 pieces of meat into burger pates.
• Make the pates thicker at the edges and thinner in the centre, since burgers tend to get rounder and thicker at the centre when you cook them. This way they come out flat once cooked.
• If you are going to grill the burgers it helps if they are frozen first so they don't crumble.
• Place the pates on a baking sheet lined with foil (to help with cleaning).
• Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 16 minutes turning half way threw.
• In a skillet add a little oil (which ever kind you like cooking with).
• Once the oil is hot add the mushrooms.
• Add the minced garlic, salt and Italian seasoning to the mushrooms.
• Stir the mushrooms often, so they are cooked evenly.
• Once the mushrooms are cooked and browned remove them from the skillet.
• One the bottom buns of the burgers spread some mayo.
• Once the burger is cooked add the burger to the bottom bun.
• Then add a zigzag of ketchup to each burger.
• Layer the mushrooms on top of that then the top bun.
• Serve with a side of coleslaw, pickle and backed potato or fries.

QUICK QUARTER-POUNDERS

Steps:

• Mix together the minced beef and enough beaten egg to bind it together, seasoning with salt and pepper. Divide the mince into four, shaping and pressing each into a burger. Heat a grill pan or the grill. Brush the burgers with the oil and cook for 6-7 mins on each side (using a baking tray if beneath the grill) for medium.
• Meanwhile, cut the cucumber into thick slices. Put the slices in a bowl and season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Add a small splash of malt vinegar and mix well. Stir together the mayonnaise and the chosen mustard.
• Present the burgers on the tomato slices, topping with the mustard mayonnaise, cucumber slices and onion rings. Finish with the burger on an iceberg leaf, topping with another leaf, if you prefer.

BUBBA'S BUBBA N EGG BURGER

Steps:

• Heat the oil, Worcestershire sauce, and balsamic vinegar in a pan.
• Add in the minced garlic and sautee.
• Cook the Bubba burger on the pan. Don't flip from one side to the other until the first side is browned.
• Lightly salt and pepper both sides of the burger.
• When the burger is done, add two slices of cheese to cover the burger (they'll overlap and hang over the edges -- yum!).
• Remove the burger from the pan but don't turn off the flame or discard the pan juices.
• Allow the burger to sit on a plate so the cheese melts over the top.
• Meanwhile, crack an egg in the pan and fry it without breaking the yolk. The yolk should cook through and not be runny so flip the egg to cook both sides.
• Place the fried egg over the cheeseburger and serve.
• Make sure Ketchup is on the table!
