Hammer Burgers.

I made these last night and they were a hit.


1 Lb Ground Chuck
1 Lb Ground pork
1 medium onion
3 cloves garlic
2 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika


Place the onion, garlic and spices in a food processor and liquify it.

In a large bowl blend the beef, pork and onion mixture until it is mixed well
Form into large pattys and grill over medium high heat in a cast iron skillet or non stick grill pan. You can even do these on the outside grill if you are careful.

Cook the burgers for about 5 minutes per side. You should see some carmelization when you flip them. If not, cook for a bit longer.

I topped them with provelone cheese and served them on a kaiser roll.

I always make a tray with hamburger fixings such as pickles, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole etc.. so each person can pick and choose exactly how they want their burger topped.

The onion spice mix makes these burgers moist and well seasoned...it really helps to keep the burger from turning into a hocky puck when cooking them well done for the kids.
