Long Boy Burgers

First off - the picture sucks. My apologies...I'm not a professional food photographer by any stretch of the imagination! Check out the link where I got the recipe - her picture is much better.

Second  - THESE ARE AWESOME! How does it work? I have no idea. Yes the meat goes on raw. But it comes out perfect. The bread does get a little well done but I'm ok with that. And the toppings could be changed a million different ways! Use your imagination! But do make these - they rock! Even my anti-bread (weird right?!) toddler ate them!



Long Boy Burgers

2-4 (6-inch) sub rolls, split in half lengthwise (I used smaller, slider style!)
1 1/4 cup cornflakes, crushed (I scooped the bread out of the sub rolls and used that)
1/2 small onion, minced
1/2 cup whole or lowfat milk
6 tablespoons ketchup, separated
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 pounds 90% lean ground beef (I used 1lb 80%)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Adjust the oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 450 degrees.

1. Bake rolls, cut side up, on wire rack inside rimmed baking sheet until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes.

2. Combine cornflakes, onion, milk, 4 tablespoons ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, garlic powder, egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in large bowl. Add meat and knead gently until well combined.

3. Top toasted rolls evenly with meat mixture, spreading meat to edges of rolls. Brush top of meat mixture evenly with remaining ketchup (I stirred in a T of yellow mustard) and bake until meat registers 160 degrees, 20-25 minutes. Top burgers with cheese (and jalapeno if you desire!) and continue to bake until cheese melts, 3-4 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes. Serve.
