Burgers have been a big part of the Silver Cloud Diet from the beginning. All American comfort food that also helps you lose weight while leaving you satisfied. We say buy organic chuck, either ground for you by the butcher, or you can take it home and whack it up in the food processor. Then the perfect burger is at hand. Skip the bun and the fake cheese they serve at fast food joints. Make a pure perfect burger for today, National Burger Day.
The Silver Cloud Perfect Organic Burger
makes 4 servings
1 pound freshly ground organic beef chuck
sea salt to taste
cracked black pepper
crushed ice
mesquite charcoal
Place the ground meat into a bowl, add salt and pepper and mix LIGHTLY with your hands. Add a handful of cracked ice and mix that in. Form into 8 patties and set aside on a piece of waxed paper.
Heat the barbecue grill, using mesquite charcoal, or mesquite tossed onto the gas grill. When its fully hot, grill the patties until medium. Just before the burgers off off the fire, fold into pieces of lettuce.
Now that’s a burger to celebrate.
