Your best gourmet burger recipe?

May I suggest a burger that I made up to satisfy my love of buffalo wings. I use ground chicken, minced onion, minced jalepenos, minced green pepers, hot sauce, and worcestershire sauce as my burger mixture. Then baste with extra hot sauce. I then mix blue cheese dressing with chopped celery, Assemble on a toasted bun with tomato, lettuce and the blue cheese dressing mixture. I've also substituted ranch for the blue cheese.
Enjoy!

We do cheeseburgers (usually Swiss, but sometimes cheddar with or without chiles added) and top them with a fried egg and a little ketchup. It's what my BF asks for every year for his birthday.

Also, I like a good burger topped with Saga blue or cambezolla cheese and some mushrooms that have been sauteed with a little shallot and garlic with a bit of dijon mustard on the bun.

I season my burgers with a bit of coarse sea salt and coarsely ground fresh pepper before cooking. We like the flavorful crust that results from doing it that way.

We make burgers (and converts along the way) with 50/50 ground sirloin and ground chuck. Serve with dill relish or hamburger dill slices, toasted buns and our favorite homemade catsup. Easy, make ahead sauce that our friends love. You can find it here.

Try this idea. Raclette Cheese, Thinly Sliced & Fried Spuds, Cornichhon & Pickled White Onion Finely Diced and Mixed With Mayo & A Touch Of Dijon. With A Little Lettuce & Tomato Great Burger.

@wookie - To my way of thinking, "gourmet" is in the eye of the beholder! Plus, my husband would never let you get away with saying "just regular plain old" about his truly beloved! Bon appetit...

@frederika--I have to confess that I bought ground sirloin to make the bulgogi burger of my dreams, but was so hungry by the time I made it home, that I slapped out two patties and grilled just regular plain old burgers seasoned only with s&p. Sorry, I feel like I've you down.

Maybe not gourmet, but good. I use turkey with kosher salt, pepper, parsley and butter:

I add water to the meat to keep it moist.

Enjoy!

I make regular beef burgers, but the best seasoning is Krazy Salt. Mix that with 80/20 beef and cook to medium, on an onion roll with grain mustard and swiss, pepperjack, or medium cheddar, and it is so good. Ooh, also good is the grain mustard cheese they sell at my local farmer's market...I am making myself hungry.

ground beef + fresh garlic + kosher salt, pepper + crushed red pepper + little bit of worchestire sauce for some great burgers

serve with roasted fennel with olive oil and salt, pepper and slivers of english cheddar, throw on some chopped fennel leaves on lightly buttered, toasted buns

yum.
