UbaUbaBurger

Made some homemade hamburger this evening.

Recipe
2 Sirloin steaks (don't use that minced meat crap on the shelves)
1 portobello mushroom, finely chopped
half dozen shallots, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 big white onion, finely chopped
a glass of red wine
4 rashes of bacon, 2 rashes finely chopped
1 slice of french butter (salted)
1 slice of cheese, cut into small pieces
fresh ground black pepper

Get the meat guy at the supermarket to mince the sirloin for you.
go home
In a hot pan, drizzle some olive oil, once it starts smoking, turn down the fire.
throw in the onions, garlic, shallots and the chopped bacon. soften.
Throw in the mushrooms, and top it with a slice of butter.
Stir thoroughly, after about 5mins on med heat, throw in the wine
turn off the fire, remove mixture from pan. Let cool.
Prep the beef in a big dish. Slap it around a little to get the air out.
Pour in the mixture (make sure it's cooled or the heat will cook the beef)
mix thoroughly (use your hands to really work it in)
Make patties.
If you like it cheese filled, stuff the patties with the cheese slices. Make sure none of the cheese is exposed or it will burn on the pan.
Form the patties and chill for about 2 hours for it to shape.

Making the burger.
On a hot pan, lay the 2 rashes of bacon.
Once it starts sizzling, put the patties on top of the bacon.
Let it cook on top of the bacon.
When the bacon starts getting deep brown, flip the burgers
cook till your preferred temperature (med, med well, well)
I would recommend you cook it to med (poke the patty with a fork and blood should flow), then take it off the fire and let the meat rest for a few minutes. It'll make the world of difference.
If you like cheese, put a slice of cheese on top before you remove from the fire.
