Carl's Jr. Famous Star

1 Sesame-seed hamburger bun
2 Onion rings
1/2 tsp Sweet pickle relish
1 1/2 tsp Catsup
1/4 lb Ground beef
1 dash Salt
2 tsp Mayonnaise
3 Dill pickle slices
1/4 cup Coarsely chopped lettuce
2 Tomato slices

Preheat a clean barbecue grill on high. Toast both halves of the
bun, face down, in a skillet over medium heat. Set aside. Cut each
of the 2 onion rings into quarters. Mix the catsup and relish
together. This is your "secret sauce." Form the ground beef into a
thin patty slightly larger than the bun. Grill the meat for 2 or 3
minutes per side. Salt slightly. Build the burger in the following
stacking order from the bottom up: bottom bun, half of the
mayonnaise, pickles, lettuce, tomato slices, onion, beef patty,
remainder of mayonnaise, special sauce (catsup and relish), top bun.

Chili's Nacho Burger

Pico de Gallo:
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup diced Spanish onion
2 teaspoons chopped fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and de-ribbed
2 teaspoons finely minced fresh cilantro
Pinch of salt

Guacamole:
2 small or 1 large Haas avocado
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 cup diced tomato
1/2 teaspoon diced jalapeno
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt

Chili Queso:
3 ounces ground beef
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
pinch of salt
pinch of ground black pepper
16-ounce bottle Cheez Whiz
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika

2 pounds ground beef
4 large sesame seed buns
2 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded or chopped thin
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 green onion, chopped
16-20 tortilla chips
2-3 fresh jalapenos, sliced

First make the Pico de Gallo. This is easy. Just combine all of the
ingredients for the Pico in a small bowl and mix well. Cover bowl and
chill in the refrigerator.
Now we'll make the guacamole. In a small bowl, smash up most of the
avocado, but be sure to leave several unsmashed chunks. Add the
remaining ingredients for the guacamole to the avocado and mix well.
Cover bowl and chill in the refrigerator, next to the Pico.
Next we'll make the chili Queso. In yet another small bowl, mix together
ground beef, flour, a pinch of salt, a pinch of black pepper, and a
pinch of chili powder. Use your hands to work the dry ingredients into
the ground beef. Brown the beef in a small skillet over medium heat
for about 5 minutes. Use a spoon or spatula to crumble the beef as it
cooks. Cook until it's brown, then set aside.
Melt the Cheez Whiz with 2 tablespoons of milk over low heat. When milk
and cheese has been combined, add the remaining Queso ingredients.
Heat while stirring often until cheese is smooth and creamy,
then cover saucepan and remove it from the heat.
Preheat a griddle or large frying pan over medium heat. Lightly butter
the face of each bun and brown the buns face-down on the heat.
Separate the ground beef into four 1/2-pound portions. Roll each portion
of meat into a ball and then pat the meat down into a circular patty
slightly larger in diameter than the hamburger buns. Cook the hamburger
patties for 5-10 minutes per side, until done. Lightly salt and pepper
each burger patty.
Build the burger open-faced in the following order starting with
the bottom bun:

On Bottom Bun:
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
hamburger patty
2 tablespoons chili Queso
4 or 5 crumbled tortilla chips
2 teaspoons green onion

On Top Bun:
1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Pico de Gallo
2 tablespoons guacamole
4 jalapeno slices

Serve burger with extra Queso and guacamole. May also serve French fries
on the side and use the chili Queso for dipping.

Makes 4 burgers.

Coney Island Dogs

1 pound Ground Beef, Lean

2 Tbsp. Sugar
1 Tbsp. Water
1 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 tsp. Celery Seed
1/4 tsp. Tabasco Sauce
1/4 cup Catsup, Approximate (Use enough to keep mixture loose)

In salted skillet, over medium heat, brown ground beef with onion,
breaking up meat with fork to crumble fine. Drain off fat.
Add mustard, vinegar, sugar, water, Worcestershire sauce, celery seed,
and Tabasco sauce. Mix well. Add enough catsup to keep mixture loose.
Reduce heat to low, and simmer (uncovered), for 35 to 40 minutes. Makes

In-N-Out Double-Double Hamburger

1/3 pound ground beef
Dash salt
1 tablespoon Kraft Thousand Island dressing

Preheat a frying pan over medium heat. Lightly toast the both halves of the 
hamburger bun, face down in the pan. Set aside. Separate the beef into two even 
portions, and form each half into a thin patty slightly larger than the bun. 
Lightly salt each patty and cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side. Flip the 
patties over and immediately place two slices of cheese on each one. Cook for 
2-3 minutes. Assemble the burger in the following stacking order from the bottom
up:

bottom bun
dressing
tomato
lettuce
beef patty with cheese
onion slice
beef patty with cheese

for each patty, flattened to 1/4" and fried quickly in 1 Tbsp oil per patty on

McDonald's Quarter Pounder

1 Sesame-seed Bun
1/4 lb. Ground beef
Salt to taste
1 Tbsp. Ketchup
1/2 tsp. Prepared Mustard
1 tsp. Chopped Onion
2 Dill pickle slices
2 slice American cheese

Brown the faces of the bun in a large frying pan over medium heat. Roll the 
ground beef into a ball and then flatten on wax paper until about 1/2 inch 
thick. Cook the burger for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Salt each side during the 
cooking. Spread Ketchup and then the mustard on the top bun, then add the onion 
and pickle. Place 1 slice of cheese on the bottom bun, then the beef patty, then
the other slice of cheese. Top off the sandwich with the top bun. Microwave on

McDonald's Filet-O-Fish Sandwich

2 Tbsp. Mayonnaise
2 tsp Sweet relish
2 tsp Minced onion
pinch Salt
2 Plain hamburger buns
2 Mrs. Paul's breaded-
Fish portions (square)

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, relish, minced onion,
and salt and set aside. This is your tartar sauce.
Lightly grill the faces of the buns.
Cook the fish according to the package instructions. You can bake
the fish, but your sandwich will taste much more like the original
if you fry it in oil.
Divide the tartar sauce and spread it evenly on each of the top buns.
Place a slice of cheese on each of the bottom buns.
Place the cooked fish on top of the cheese slice on
each sandwich, and top off the sandwiches with the top buns.
