Is your burger worth an Izula?

I'm going to assume you are manly enought to know how to grill and make burgers to start with, so I'll spare you the extra reading.

A favorite burger of mine goes a little something like this:

Mix thinly diced onion, Ranch powder seasoning, and one egg to 1.5 lbs of 80/20 hamburger. Make the patties as thick as you want.

Before the meat cooks, throw 3 Poblano chilis on the grill until the skin starts to flake off. This should be at medium heat and turn often.

Remove the chilis, take seeds and skins off. Throw the cooked chilis into a blender along with 1/2 onion, 1 tsp water, 1 tsp Olive Oil, Salt & Pepper, 2 cloves garlic, and 1 tsp honey.

Cook your burger until just before you like it and pour on the chili mixture right on the grill. Place a cap of very thick provolone cheese on top and let sit on grill until cheese is melted.

Seal it all together with heated up buns.

Add your condiments or leave as is.... there are your green chili burgers!

Mushroom Mix: (This is the secret)

Combine 1/4 cup Sliced baby portabella mushrooms, 1/4 cup green onions (sliced) and
1 Tablespoon roasted garlic into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH 2 minutes.

Sprinkle seasoned pepper over patties (I prefer 85 percent lean). Cook until at least medium.

Since the grilling part has been sufficiently covered, I'll keep it short by just listing ingredients and topping suggestions.

1/2 lb. ground buffalo
1/2 lb. ground lamb
1/2 lb. ground pork
salt and or pepper to taste if desired

grill, broil, raked coals, whatever floats your boat

serve on an artisan roll or bun with exterior "snap" and interior chewiness

top with swiss, stoneground mustard (horsey mustard's not bad, but go easy) and a touch of ketchup if you absolutely must

alternatively, if you like veggies with your burger, top with slices of FRESH tomato (ethylene-ripened tomatoes are the work of he who shall not be named), thinly sliced red onion, any lettuce that's not iceburg, a smear of goat cheese, and good mustard

Hope you like it. Thanks for the contest.
 
My burger recipe is as follows.
I don't really measure anything. I simply add the ingredients to taste as I go.
Lean ground beef of course.
I fill a large cup with water and a few ounces of olive oil. Add seasoning salt, garlic, onion powder, cilantro, italian seasoning, garlic, coarse ground black pepper, sea salt, garlic, cholula, liquid smoke, chili powder, garlic and a few ounces of an IPA.
as the burgers are grilling I pour this mixture over them. The smoke it makes is the best smelling smoke you can imagine. I've had neighbors from many blocks away come to see what smelled so good.
I've never tasted anything as good as my burgers.

They need nothing on them either. Just meat and a bun!
I know the rules are not met but, try this recipe adding the ingredients to your taste and pour a little over the burgers when they appear dry. If you don't like them you will be the first.
