Coffee Burgers For Fourth Of July

Just in time for the Fourth Of July, here’s a recipe for coffee burgers. It combines two of my favorite things – grilling and coffee. I received a lot of weird looks and questions when I said that I was working on a coffee recipe, but the taste isn’t at all what you’re thinking. The coffee gives it a woody, almost cedar like taste that makes it really standout.

I should note, that if it’s not already obvious, I’m not a trained chef in anyway. I’ve had years of experience drinking coffee and working the grill, but I don’t know the proper terminology when it comes to cooking and recipes. The recipe is pretty simple and I love to experiment, so the recipe is constantly changing.

Serving size: Four burgers

Ingredients

1 pound of ground beef

1 heaping tablespoon of dark roasted ground coffee

2 heaping tablespoons of breadcrumbs

A dash of seasoned salt

A dash of pepper

A dash of oregano

Bacon

Cheddar or American Cheese

Potato Hamburger Buns or Kaiser Roll

And any other toppings that you like – lettuce, tomatoes, etc

Method

Mix the coffee, breadcrumbs seasoned slat, pepper and oregano into a large bowl.

Split the meat into four equal pieces and coat them into the coffee/breadcrumb mix. Roll them into a ball, then flatten about ½ inch thick.

I’m not going to tell you how to grill the burgers, I think everyone has their own technique. But I’ll say that I add the bacon and cheese after I flip them over a second time. As soon as the cheese is almost melted, I take them off.

Recommend serving with a cold beer.

That’s it really simple, but really delicious.
