New York Garlic Bread Burgers
This week we have the New York Jets entering our house. Just like the Giants, the Jets food culture is diverse, mainly influenced by the city’s immigrants and large number of dining patrons. One of Ney York’s many staples are it’s over 4,000 mobile food vendors licensed by the city. This week I take a page from New York street food to produce my New York Garlic Bread Burgers. It is pretty quick, easy and tasty.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 -2 lbs ground beef
- 1 package garlic bread (4 pieces)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large white onion thinly sliced
- 4 slices of mozzarella cheese (or shredded if sliced is not available)
- Your favorite BBQ rub (store bought is fine)
- Your favorite steak sauce (A-1 works for me)
Directions
Heat a grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grill grates. In a medium skillet or aluminum pan, heat the oil. Add the sliced white onions and cook until they are golden brown, usually about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, lightly shape ground beef into four ¾-inch-thick patties. Season the patties with the BBQ dry rub and place patties on grill and cook over for about 6-7 minutes per side. Set the cooked onions to the side until burgers are ready. While the burgers are cooking heat the garlic bread according to package directions for the grill. Watch that the bread does not burn on bottom. About 2 minutes before the burgers are ready top with the mozzarella cheese.
To assemble the burgers: slice a piece of the bread crosswise into 4 buns, add a burger, add grilled onions, and top with steak sauce.
*This recipe yields 4 servings. Make sure you increase all amounts equally when tailgating with more friends.
“Remember, tailgating isn’t fun unless you’re full, surrounded by friends, and have an ice cold beverage in your hand, and watching the Bucs on a Sunday.”
