Steps:
- Combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, garlic, bell pepper, serrano, parsley, 1/2 the pepper jack cheese, egg, Worcestershire and grill seasoning in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix gently until all ingredients are combined well.
- Form 4 fat patties.
- Drizzle olive oil on a platter and coat both sides of the patties with the oil.
- Place patties in a hot (medium high flame) skillet. Don't move them! Let the patties caramelize on one side before flipping, then let them caramelize on the other side.
- When patties are done, transfer to a platter. Top each patty with 1/4 of the remaining cheese. Cover with a foil tent and place into a warm oven to melt the cheese. The foil tent helps the patties retain their juiciness.
- In the same skillet, drizzle in the remaining 1 Tbsp of olive oil.
- Saute the onions and mushrooms until the mushrooms are a nice, rich brown, then season with salt and pepper.
- Deglaze the pan with wine, scraping up all the tasty brown bits. Let the alcohol cook off.
- Stir in Worcestershire, milk and mustard. The mixture will thicken up quickly.
- Gloss the sauce by dropping the butter into the pan in small chunks and letting it melt. When all the butter is melted, give the pan a final stir.
- When you plate the patties, spoon the onion mushroom sauce over each patty.
- Garnish with fresh chives.
- Enjoy!

Take them to a party, make them for dinner or serve them on game day. The meat can also be made ahead of time in preparation for your gathering. -April Lee Wiencek, Chicago, Illinois

MC DONALD'S SPECIAL BURGER SAUCE ( BIG MAC SAUCE - COPYCAT )
This sauce is a clone of the Big Mac Sauce and comes from the book "Even More Top Secret Recipes" by Todd Wilbur. It tastes exactly like the real thing so if your a Big Mac lover like I, you'll be thrilled. The beauty of this recipe is I have tried it with lowfat mayonnaise (Hellman's Just 2 Good) and it was wonderful. I'd stick with regular French dressing, though, just to be safe.

THE ALABAMA SMOKEHOUSE PIG BURGER WITH WHITE BARBECUE SAUCE
Steps:
- Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.
- In a small mixing bowl combine the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and refrigerate until serving.
- Heat a large fireproof nonstick skillet on the grill. Add the bacon and cook over medium-high heat until the bacon is crispy, about 5 minutes, flipping once. Drain on paper towels. Reserve the rendered bacon fat from the skillet.
- Combine the pork, smoked paprika, chili powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of the rendered bacon fat from the skillet. Mix well, handling the meat as little as possible to avoid compacting. Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and form the portions into patties to fit the size of the rolls.
- Brush the grill rack with oil. Arrange the patties on the rack, cover, and cook, turning once just until done, about 4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. During the last few minutes of cooking, top the burgers with equal amounts of smoked Gouda and put the rolls, cut side down, on the outer edges of the rack to toast lightly.
- To assemble the burgers, spread a generous amount of Alabama White Barbecue Sauce on the cut sides of the rolls. On each roll bottom, put some shredded cabbage, a cheese-topped patty, and 2 slices of bacon. Cover with the roll tops and serve.

PECAN AND MUSHROOM BURGER WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE
Such a tasty veggie burger. These take a little work, however they are a great make ahead meal. The website states that you can wrap the uncooked patties individually and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months (thawing in the refrigerator before cooking). One of the reviewers on the other site said that you can leave out the egg for a tasty vegan burger without any issues. From the Eating Well website. NOTE: After making these, I have changed up the recipe to perfection :) If you like parsley, you may want to add a little fresh parsley in these as well.

Steps:
- Combine yogurt, blue cheese, chives (if using) and dressing in a small bowl and blend with a fork to make a chunky sauce. Refrigerate it while you make the burgers; it will keep for up to 2 days.
- Place bulgur and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Pour the boiling water over, cover and set aside until the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Drain in a sieve, pressing out excess liquid.
- Meanwhile, spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and turn on stove to medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, until the vegetables are softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in vinegar and garlic. Immediately transfer the mixture to a plate and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Combine the vegetable mixture in a food processor; pulse briefly until coarsely chopped. Add egg; pulse briefly, scraping down the sides if necessary, until the mixture is cohesive but roughly textured. Transfer to a bowl; stir in bulgur, breadcrumbs, pecans Italian seasoning and pepper. Mix well.
- With dampened hands, form the mixture into eight 1/2-inch-thick patties, using about 1/2 cup for each. (I made mine into 13 mini burgers using a slider station).
- Place burgers on a cookie sheet (coated with cooking spray) and place under a broiler on high. Mine took 8 minutes to crisp ever so slightly and to become heated through. You can also cook them in a frying pan for 4 minutes per side (mine fell apart doing this though, that's why I put the rest of them under the broiler).
- Garnish the burgers with watercress and the blue cheese sauce, if desired.

- For the sauce, cut the tofu into chunks and put them into a blender with the ginger, cilantro, chile, sesame oil, lime juice, soy sauce, water, and salt and pepper, to taste. Puree, taste, and adjust seasoning. Top the burgers with the sauce and garnish with the spicy sprouts.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and saute the onions, carrots, garlic, cumin, celery seed, and salt over medium heat until the onions are transparent. In a food processor, combine the nuts, and blend until 1/2 are a coarse meal and the other are just cracked. Place in a large mixing bowl and add the Sauteed vegetable mixture. Add the garbanzo beans in the processor and process the same way as the nuts. Add flour and arrowroot. Add the beans and parsley to the mixing bowl. Mix everything together well until the mixture has enough body to form a patty. If the mixture is too dry or crumbly, add a small amount of water to help the mixture bind. Form the mixture into 4 burgers. Lightly oil the frying pan and fry the burgers over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
- Heat oil in skillet, saute onion, scallion and garlic until soft. Add tehina and stir until lightly roasted. Dissolve miso and seasoning in 3/4 cup water. Stir into tehina. Add vinegar and simmer 5 minutes but do not boil. Add fresh parsley.
CHEESEBURGER MEATLOAF WITH FAMOUS BURGER SAUCE RECIPE - (4.6/5)
Provided by á-4084
Number Of Ingredients 18
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F degrees. In a large bowl, combine bread cubes, milk, and egg, using a fork to break up the bread cubes. Add onions, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Add ground beef, incorporating the egg mixture and onion with a fork or hands. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, place half the beef mixture on the sheet and shape into a 4.5-inch by 9.5 inch rectangle. Top the beef with 10 pickles and 3 cheese slices. Add the remaining beef mixture on top of the pickles and cheese, smoothing with a fork or hands and sealing the sides to prevent the cheese from melting out. Bake in a preheated oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes (or until inserted meat thermometer reads 165F degrees). Once the meatloaf reaches the desired internal temperature, add the remaining pickles slices and American cheese to the top of the loaf and bake an additional 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Top the meatloaf with half the burger sauce (see instructions below) and serve the remaining sauce on the side. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, relish, mustard, paprika, vinegar, garlic powder and onion powder. Mix well and store in the fridge until ready to use. The burger sauce can be made and served immediately, but it is best to make it at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to blend together. The meatloaf can be made the night before. Simply wrap the loaf in plastic wrap and store on a plate or platter in the fridge until you are ready to bake it. Serving suggestion: Serve the meatloaf with lettuce salad and crusty bread with sesame seeds.

MOUNTAIN VIEW LINDA'S PARISIAN BURGER SAUCE
From Mountain View CA's much loved burger joint which closed up in the mid 80's. This is for the sauce only. Typically, the buns are oval shaped sourdough - grilled, 2 hamburger patties (I use only one), slice of cheddar along with this sauce - warmed. These burgers were always served with tater tots. I love serving this sauce with the fried tater tots too.
