Title: Double Cheeseburger w/lettuce and tomato
Post by: Smokin Don on August 04, 2013, 02:49:30 AM: Aug 03, 2013

After I finished up my roast I didn’t have much time to get ready to cook tonight’s supper. My burgers would be done ala Wing Commanders method.

I got my steamer pot ready to do some corn on the cob, on my gas burner. I put my two Grill gates on the smoker bottom, smooth side up; and eased the smoker to 325 deg. I got my steamer pot steaming and added the corn. It would take about 20 minutes for the corn and I would have time to get the burgers cooked.

I made up 4 meatballs from ground chuck for some thin burgers. I had some fresh tomatoes, from my garden sliced up; some Romaine lettuce and Swiss cheese for the burgers. I served them on some toasted wheat Bolillo rolls with mustard.

I sprayed a little olive oil on the Grill Grates, placed the meat balls on and smashed to thin patties. I did them about 10 minutes on a side and added the cheese to two of them to melt. I placed the plain patties on the ones with cheese and made up our double cheeseburger sandwiches.

The steamed corn was good topped with my gorgonzola butter. My wife and I both loved the sandwich. Having 4 sides of the crispy brown goodness on one sandwich adds a great flavor.

My patties were not as nice as Wing Commanders and I over melted the cheese trying to make sure I got some pics for all. They were still good!

Oh yeah! That's it!

I cook mine on high heat (400-440°F) for 0,5 - 1 minute per side depending on the patty size. After flipping the patties I put cheese on it and the top of the bun.

I understand that flipping the Grill Grates up side down does give a larger searing surface, but there is also something visceral about seeing great grill marks too. Wife asks for them all the time.
