BIG Burgers and a Failed Project

[James Lake]

Well the fog has lifted and today we got up to 62 degrees. There have been so many posts of great burgers that I was getting hungry for a couple.

Went to a new butcher and they had 90% ground sirloin which is a little too lean for burgers so I added some bacon fat, onion powder, garlic powder, a spice blend from Rachel Ray and S&P. Here are the two patties waiting for the grill to get hot:

I cooked the burgers with a reverse sear method. The jalapeño and cheese roll along with the horseradish cheddar are waiting for their turn on the grill:

Time for the burgers to go direct:

Everything is looking and smelling good, but I still think I'm going to have a "Failed Project"

Buns getting toasty and the meat and cheese are getting happy:

On my way to the Butcher Bill. The brew was average for this brewery, I wouldn't seek it out, but if I found it I would drink it.

The cook looks REALLY good - great looking burgers!

Well, the weather is "clearing" here, too. It's going to get "clear" down to -10 degrees tonight with a high, tomorrow of 10 above. I'm a wuss and will start grillin' and smokin' when the weather moderates...

Here's to SPRING!!

Keep on smokin',
