Fellow LTBBQ member Sandman had given me a generous sample
of some Cahills Irish Porter Cheddar to try. I ate one slice and wanted to use
some for a cheeseburger. The wife said she would rather have a brat burger. I
went to my butcher to get some fresh brats to use but he was out. He had some
fresh sausage patties made up so I bought some; since I had to mow grass today
that would save me a step making them up.
I asked for suggestions on a condiment to use and got some
good replies. I decided to go with about 2/3 mayonnaise and 1/3 Dijon mustard.
I know I like mustard with cheddar. I deep fried some onion straws to top the
sandwich. They were cut 3mm thick and dusted with a little flour before frying
in a saucepan with vegetable oil.
I heated my Weber up
to 350-400 degrees. I seasoned the sausage patties with a little Penzey’s 4S
salt and sprayed with a little olive oil. They went on the backside of my
Grillen Grates for 5 minutes then flipped. After 4 minutes I topped the patties
with the cheese and put my olive oil sprayed buns on to toast. After 2 more
minutes the cheese was melting and the buns toasted. I put my mayo mustard on
the bottom half of the bun. I took them inside and topped with the onion
straws.
We heated up some of my leftover hash brown bake for a side.
Those were some great sandwiches, we both liked them. The sausage was moist and
the cheese tasted good on it. I didn’t
have a porter but had a Deschutes IPA that was good! I still have two slices of
that great cheese left. Tomorrow I will go to Sandmans and get some good
porter, set the cheese out to warm to room temperature and enjoy the flavor of
the cheese and a porter to wash it down. Thanks Sandman for a great sample!
The last cook I did on the Weber I didn’t get pics of the
food on the grill. With me hobbling around like Grandpa Walton it’s a major
feat for me to cook in 12 minutes, get a couple of pics, a sip or two of beer, and
get the food inside to serve and a final pic. I did it though!
My next burgers will probably be on my Traeger, I have
turned out some great burgers at 300 deg. on the Grillen Grates and I have time
to drink a beer!
