Burgers, airplanes and sunburns oh my!

It was a busy weekend for me! There were planes in the sky, I vacuumed a pool and ended up doing my impression of a boiled lobster - red red red! - and I came up with a couple new burger recipes. The others I haven't tried yet but this one has the parental seal of approval.

So without futher ado I present:

The Bomba Burger

Recipe makes 6 8 oz burgers or 12 4 oz burgers

2 lbs ground beef (or other ground meat of your choice
250 grams of cubed pancetta
1 ½ cups Italian style breadcrumbs
2 tsp Italian blend spice
4 tbsp President’s Choice Memories of Tuscany marinade
1 tsp cracked black pepper
1 tsp salt
1 smallish onion – grated
1 cup of Kraft 4 cheese Italiano blend shredded cheese
5 sundried tomatoes, diced
2 eggs

 

Directions 

1. In a large bowl – grate onion using box grater;
2. Add ground beef, bread crumbs, spices, marinade and cheese;
3. Chop sun dried tomatoes and cube pancetta add to bowl;
4. Crack in two eggs;
5. Mix together by hand;
6. Shape into patties (I used the lid of a 1 ltr ice cream container because it was the right depth J )
7. Refrigerate for an hour

Cook on 400 degree heat (medium high) on barbecue for 3-4 minutes each side or pan fry or use a grill machine

Put on a nice Italian style bun (I used Brizzolio buns by d’Italiano) and top with favourite hamburger toppings

Enjoy!!
