Fun with Hamburgers

February 8th, 2009

In an attempt to break away from the same old supper while watching way too much of the Food Network, we found a new favorite recipe for hamburgers.

First off, I had found an interesting type of cheese as the store. It was Havarti, which I had never heard of before. This particular block was dill flavored, and you just can’t go wrong with anything dill in this house. It was tasty, but I wasn’t quite sure what to do with it. Since I had hamburger meat, I decided to use it on that.

To go along with this strange new cheese, I made a mock version of our Big Mac sauce (see the recipe under “Hamburgers” on the Hamburger Ideas page on Idea Queen.) I left out both types of relish, the salad dressing, and only used regular mayo. Wasn’t exactly Big Mac sauce, but it was still an interesting flavor to go along with the hamburgers.

These were good, but I quickly realized the flavor of the cheese wasn’t coming through as much as I would have liked it to. Next time we’ll be using either more cheese or making them in “inside out” fashion.

These hamburgers also made me think that there really are no rules when it comes to hamburgers. I usually don’t make this particular item very often, but I might just start now that I know I can add anything I want to them. Who knows? Maybe we’ll come up with something really fantastic the next time!
