I watch food network often, and lately they have been showcasing some amazing burgers. Because of the parade of meaty, cheesey, goodness that I've been watching, I've had severe cravings for a big juicy burger. I've tried to cure my hunger with fast food burgers but they just didn't cut the mustard, if you know what I mean. They are too thin, flavorless and not homemade.
So last night I had the time and the ingredients to make The Best Burger Ever on Toast. It was ground beef with salt, pepper, ground mustard, a bit of red pepper flake, cheese, pickles, tomatoes and topped with a fried egg. It was so good that I could have eaten for.... you know it...Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. I almost did too, but last nights cheese slice was the last in the fridge and I slept too late to have breakfast or lunch before going to work. I'm making a taco pasta right now, due to the lack of cheese in the house, but I'm mentally savoring the flavor of last nights meaty masterpiece. Check it out, here's a bird's eye view of the tower of power.
Is that a perfect fried egg or what? You can see the cheddar slice playing peak-a-boo under umpty dumpty there. And LOOK at those pickels on top of the mayo slather. MMMMM.
Whoops! I smashed the toast down too hard and broke the yolk, but look at that golden river of flavor. You see how the runny goodness cascades down the sandwich like a cholesterol waterfall?
Oh, no Pickles overboard. It's okay I saved them....for last. So stop wishing you had made this and go do it. You'll thank me later after you return from your vacation to flavor town.
