  1. I have to say, I've never understood taking a good piece of meat, even if it's chopped up and putting cheese on top to cover the flavor

  2. I thought you weren’t supposed to eat burgers (or ground up meat) cooked to medium rare- only safe temperature is well done?

  3. Can you make the pickled red onions using Allulose? I am diabetic and try to use Allulose whenever I can.

  4. I made that ground beef for a Memorial Day cookout, absolutely fabulous. I made a lot, turned it all into patties which freeze really well ❤

  5. Use a panade of bread and milk, flavor with beef base, worstchester sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper, mix with ground meat just until you can't see the bread anymore, and allow to rest for an hour or up till overnight. Form into patties and cook. Moist, tender, and delicious. No need to buy waay expensive meat and dirty your food processor.

  6. I think they look delicious 😋. I have a question. Why is it not recommended to cook pre-ground hamburger medium rare? It’s ground up beef too. I picked up ground round on sale & grilled burgers 🍔 for the 4th. I was the only one at the cookout lol. I had a light pink center. I’m still alive! Lol!

  7. Hi Julia. Nice burgers. Mine are about the same, but I always add a bit of chopped frozen butter on the meat. Ah! And cucumber relish for toping as well. Great success around here!

  8. Julia Why don't You add 🥒 Pickleling
    Spice?
    Please Respond.
    Sincerely Yours 🤠 Mr Severance,
    "The Cake 😋🍰🎂🥳🎉 🎊 Man".

  9. I'm excited about the prospect of grinding my own hamburger meat! Thank you for the lesson and the recipe.

  10. So for your pickled onions one part apple cider vinegar, three parts apple juice that's it

  11. I don't eat pink pink meat and I was raised in cattle country still want the Moo cooked out. Want medium cooked.

  12. Excellent work. I am too glad you mentioned that one reason to grind your own, is so YOU know what's in it. No mystery meat like head meat etc. Another reason people get sick from eating burgers or ground beef is sanitation. You know yours is "clean" and you can enjoy a medium rare burger without worry. So many parts of beef, including trimming and left overs go into ground beef, and handled by many hands. Thank you for your explainations and remain safe.
