Beer can burgers

Recommended Posts

Nothing special just some beer can burgers. Some were stuffed with red peppers, shallots, mushrooms, bacon and mozzarella. Some were stuffed with mushrooms, bacon and mozzarella. I cooked indirect at about 400f. The cheese turned out a little to dark it was a new cheese I found on sale so not sure if was the cheese or the 400f temp. No plate needed just bun.

Nice! On my "to do" list, along with about 4 other cooks right now!

I know what you mean Tony there are so many cooks I want to try and the list gets bigger and bigger and bigger. I wish people would cook some sub par cooks so I can catch up a bit.

Would like to hear more but not hijack.

Quite a few years ago we would rent this particular cottage and the owner said the renter the week before were carp fishing right in front of the cottage.

So I gave it a try. My first attempt, I threw some corn out in the water and covered my hook in nibblets and just left my line in the water with my bail open. I went and lit the charcoal bbq for dinner. About 20mins latter I went to check out my fishing rod. To my surprise all my fishing line was off my spool except for about ten wraps of line. I picked up my rod and sure enough "fish on". I started reeling in line but the fish was clear across to the other side of the channel. We fought for about 10mins till a big boat came by, I had to break off my line to avoid the boat.

The next day I changed my equipment to a heavy action bait cast rod and reel with 30lb braided line. I copied my baiting from the day before. I threw some corn in the water and baited my hook with corn opened the bail and left my line in the water. I went and lit the bbq, this time I came back to my rod in about 5 mins. I look into the clear shallow water and there are two carp eating the corn. One of the carp is a big boy, sure enough he sucks in the corn with my hook in it. I pick up my rod and set the hook "fish on" and the battles on. The carp starts taking off pulling line off the reel at will, it was like trying to pull in a bulldozer the carp was in control. That was the strongest fresh water fish I had fought. I had to battle with that bulldozer of a carp for what felt like forever. I managed to bring him in and land him I had no scale but just from the sear weight I guessed at least 25#. I let him rest and let him go.

Where I live in Toronto carp is not a very popular game fish. When I hear someone mention carp usually in a bad way it brings back great memories.

OK, so I finally got this cook in. Slowly working off my backlog of cooks.

 

Here's my mis en place - ground chuck (85/15), so I planned to add a couple of Tbl of butter to get closer to 80/20, with the Sucklebuster's SPG, mushrooms, onions, cheddar cheese, the sausage is from my buddy's company - it's a bacon and blue cheese sausage, the slabs of cheese on the right are Raclette. Planned to do 2 versions - with sausage and one just mushrooms, onions, and cheeses (hence, the extra blue cheese. Note: ended up not using the Boursin.)

Have to admit, this was a pretty tasty burger, despite no pickles, mustard, tomato, bun, etc. Love the idea of being able to riff on the filings. See lots of potential future cooks!!
