Sourdough Burgers

*These taste kinda like meatloaf burgers, but we really liked it! Definitely a nice change of pace from our usual burgers!

Sourdough Burgers

1 1/2 pounds ground beef (80/20 is best for burgers)
1 egg
3/4 cup bread crumbs
3 tbs evaporated milk
2 tbs Worcestershire
1/2 tsp cayenne
2 tsp minced garlic

Beat egg in large mixing bowl, then add rest of ingredients and mix well by hand.
Form into 8 equal patties and set aside. Heat griddle over med-high heat, lightly oiled.
Cook patties (4 at a time) for about 5mins per side, or until done to your liking. I like mine a little crispy since the patties are so moist.
Place cooked patties into a toaster oven set on KEEP WARM while you finish the rest of the steps.

Sourdough Bread
Bacon
Tomatoes, thinly sliced
Swiss cheese
Melted butter
Mayonnaise
Ketchup

Fry/Bake/Nuke bacon 'til crispy. You'll want 1-2 slices per burger.
Layer slices of bread in oven and cook at 350 'til crispy, about 5mins. After they are crisped to your liking, brush with melted butter.
Once bacon is done cooking, take your patties and top with swiss cheese, nuke for 15 secs to melt cheese.
Place bread, buttered side down, on your plate. Top with patty, tomato, bacon and mayonnaise and ketchup. Top with second piece of sourdough, butter side up.
Serve with fries.
