Hamburgers!

Ok...so finding a good hamburger here is a little difficult...unless you want to shell out some serious cash (though this is for most eat-out food).  The solution is simple: make your own.

What? You don't have a grill? No problem.  Fust has these plug in grills (think George Forman) that make them just as well (though I would add liquid smoke to make them taste better - try one of the online stores or bring some with you from a trip).

Tonight, we grilled, which makes it easy for me. I can make everything in advance, clean up what I used and pass the burgers off to hubby when he gets home from work. :)

What you need: Mushroom Cheeseburgers

Beef (Hackfleisch) or any ground meat you would like to use
Hamburger buns (or bread if you don't have any. You can use a can to cut out a circle and then toast it)
1 slice of bread to crumble and mix into the ground beef
Slices of cheese (I used the Foi Epi)
Tomatoes
Lettuce
1 onion
1 Egg
Handful of mushrooms
There is an avocado in the picture because originally it was going to have sliced avocado. However, my avocado failed me so I used bacon instead.
A few slices of bacon.
Worcestershire Sauce
Liquid Smoke if grilling on an indoor grill

Slice your mushrooms and put them in a small pan with some olive oil. Dice half an onion and add to the mushrooms.
Slice your tomato and set aside, wash your lettuce and pat it dry if you are adding it to the burger.

Put your beef on a cutting board and add the diced onions to the top. Dice your bacon and add this as well. Crumble a piece of bread and add to the mixture. Mix together, make a small depression in the center (think volcano) and add the egg (this is so it doesn't run right off your cutting board).  Fold the beef mixture over the egg and mix it all up with your hands. Yes, it's a gooey mess, but it gets everything blended quickly and thoroughly.  Top with a dash or three of Worcestershire sauce (and liquid smoke if cooking indoors).

Pass the burgers off to the BBQ master (or cook them indoors).
While the burgers are cooking, put some french fries (pommes frites) in the oven and bake according to the directions. Eventually I will make my own again and post the recipe.
Saute the mushroom/onion mixture. Toast the bun(s)

Place a slice of cheese on the still warm burgers. Add the mushroom/onion mixture on top (also ketchup, tomatoes and lettuce if desired). Serve with fries. Enjoy!
