andy's essentials: a burger to be reckoned with
I made a bunch of these burgers for my incoming houseguests, and they absolutely loved them. Then, I posted a photo on this site, and I had a bunch of folks ask me to post the recipe. I honestly think that this is one amazing burger; however, you must follow the recipe as written. Since I did not intend to post this recipe, I am shy on photos, but the images I do have speak for themselves. So yummy. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make andy's essentials: a burger to be reckoned with

Step 1PREP/PREPARE
-
Step 2I have not tried this recipe using regular ground beef; however, if I did, I would select something like ground chuck.
-
Step 3You can use store-bought or homemade sliders. If homemade is your preference, here is my recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/bread/other-bread/ready-when-you-want-them-freshly-baked-yeast-rolls.html?r=7 This sauce is essential to the recipe without it, the recipe falls apart: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/sauce-condiment-essentials-spicy-beef-pork-sauce.html Okay, you do not have to make your own mustard, but if you always wanted to give it a try, here you go: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/diy-essentials-homemade-yellow-mustard.html?r=6

Step 4Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
-
Step 5Take the ground buffalo, and shape it into a patty, slightly larger than your bun (there will be some shrinkage during the cooking process). Sprinkle both sides with some salt and pepper, and throw into a hot pan (you should hear a nice satisfying sizzle). After a few minutes, flip the burger, and cook for another minute or two.
-
Step 6Chef’s Note: If you are adding cheese, do that now.
-
Step 7Cut the bun in half, and add the mayo to the cut side of the bottom half. Add the yellow mustard to the cut side of the top half. Add enough lettuce to cover the bottom of the bun. Add Andy’s spicy beef/pork sauce.
-
Step 8Add a slice of nice fresh tomato.
-
Step 9Add the burger, with the sautéed onions, and pickles (if using).
-
Step 10PLATE/PRESENT
-
Step 11Serve with chips, fries… whatever suits your fancy. Enjoy.
-
Step 12Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
