When my friend Rebecca first described Filthy Burgers to me, I think my jaw actually dropped. Just the thought of those three meats combined in one burger, I knew I needed to try it for myself. I made these burgers for the first time a few years ago. Just remembering that first bite makes my mouth water today. This is a burger I make every chance I get. Because this is hands-down, beyond any doubt, the best burger I have ever tasted. When I tell you that you really need to try these burgers, just trust me. Next time you make pulled pork, set aside a portion of the leftovers and make these burgers as soon as you possibly can. I made these burgers for a family barbecue and every single person loved them. My boys thought they were in burger heaven and declared them the best burgers in the universe.
Filthy Burgers Recipe
{originally published 7/30/15 – recipe notes and photos updated 7/29/19} Set a 4 or 4 1/2-inch ring or biscuit cutter on the covered scale and add 5 ounces of meat inside the ring. Press gently to spread the meat into a circle. Lift the cutter and then gently pick up the formed patty and transfer to a tray or sheet pan. The burgers can be made in advance and kept covered in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours.
How To Freeze Homemade Burgers
The burgers can also be frozen. This recipe can be doubled or tripled without any difficulty. Place the tray with shaped uncooked patties on it in the freezer. Cover tightly with foil and freeze for up to two days. If you would like to store them in the freezer for longer, transfer the frozen patties to a large ziploc bag and seal tightly to remove air from the bag. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Cook the burgers directly from frozen. Place the frozen patties on the hot grill and add 2-3 minutes to the cooking time.
