Time 17m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs ground beef
1/3 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or 1 tbps. spicy mustard
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
4 whole hamburger buns
1/2 cup butter
2 heads romaine lettuce or 2 heads green leaf lettuce, torn
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, torn
4 whole roma tomatoes, diced
8 whole dill pickle spears, cubed
1 whole red onion, sliced

Steps:

Brown the meat in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up. Remove from heat and drain. Add mustards, ketchup, and BBQ sauce and combine well. Taste and add whatever you think it needs, if anything. Cover with foil to keep warm.
Cut hamburger buns into 1-inch cubes. Melt 1/4 of the stick of butter (2 tablespoons) in another skillet over low heat. Add the bun cubes and toss to oat. Toast the cubes in the skillet for about 10-12 minutes, adding another 1/4 of the stick of butter every few minutes until you've used the whole stick. This ensures that all the croutons will soak up the butter and toast nicely.
To assemble the salads, set out six salad plates. Put some torn lettuce down first. Top with one-sixth of the meat mixture and top with a good amount of cheese. Add diced tomato, pickle chunks, and red onion slices over the top. Sprinkle warm croutons all around the plate.
Serve immediately.

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds 80/20 ground beef
1/3 cup heavy cream
6 to 8 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 kaiser rolls
Softened butter, for spreading, plus 2 tablespoons
6 slices Cheddar
6 slices cooked bacon, halved

Steps:

Place the beef into a medium mixing bowl. Add the cream, hot sauce, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. With clean hands, mix the meat well. Set aside.
Next, slice the rolls in half and spread each half with some softened butter. Place the rolls face-down on a skillet over medium heat. Lightly grill the rolls so they're nice and golden. Let the rolls cool on a plate until you need them.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Form the beef mixture into 6 patties and place in the skillet, in batches if needed. Allow each to cook about 4 minutes on the first side, flip them and place a slice of Cheddar on to melt.
When the patties are done in the middle, place them on the base of the halved buns. Top each with 2 pieces of the bacon and top with the other half of the rolls.
