Beercan Bacon Burger

[dirtking]

So I watched the video that has been floating around the internets lately and decided to try this.  I made 2, 1 pounders (plus cheese and filling).  For filling we used morel mushrooms, ramps, onion, poblano pepper, Anaheim pepper and pepperjack.  They were real good!

That looks good! It looks good enough to risk a little artery plaque

No kidding...at least you die happy...and full....of meat, bacon, and cheese.

We split them in half and went 2 people to a burger.  So really you only were eating 1 piece of bacon and 1/2 pound a meat per person.  Still a big meal, but not as horrible as it looks.  Next time I would try to make them 3/4 pounders, but I had 2 lbs of meat so what the heill....

How do you keep the stuff from falling out of the hole?  (haven't watched the video)

[dirtking]

there is a little beef on the bottom - squish a beer can into a ball of meat, form the meat around the beer can.  Wrap bacon around.  Pull out the beer can which forms the hole

So what is a ramp?  This looks good.  My wife laughed and agreed with the Lipitor connection.  For me anyways.  I might try it anyways.  

[delcecchi]

Ramps are wild members of onion family, I believe.

Beer can burger has to be my favorite burger bar none.  The OP here did a mighty fine one indeed!!!  I make mine about 8 oz.  I just use bulk burger and ball up each one rather than using a pre-made burger patty.  You can see how I made it in detail on my blog in the Smokin Hot page www.sausageheavenoutdoors.com.  The beer can burger is kind of like a Juicy Lucy but without that extra patty on top.  The great  thing about this burger is that you can put anything you like in the hole.  I have done them in my smoker and on the grill.  In the smoker I set the temp around 270 deg.  On the grill, you can do them on in-direct heat or set the burgers on the top rack if done over direct heat.  Here are some pics of some I made:  In these burgers I put carmalized onions, jalapenos, pepper jack cheese [two layers] and in the end I topped them with some cheddar cheese.  good luck.

Thanks for the post Reinhard, this helps push me more in the direction to make one of these artery bombs.

[Mike89]

I have to try these too!

[delcecchi]

Good to see you back, Reinhard!!

[reinhard1]

Thanks Del, you are one of the members I always respected and enjoyed reading your posts.  good luck.

I finally tried these this weekend.  I pretty much demanded my friend make them for us in exchange for another buddy and I helping put a roof on his shed during 100 Deg heat index weather!  These were outstanding and the possibilities are endless.  Kind of fun if you have company because you can create a build-it-yourself topping bar, of sorts.  They will be a re-occurring menu item in my household from now on.

[Jim Almquist]

I have to give these a try soon!!

 

Love the idea of all of the goodies one can add and of course bacon!
