The U-Bomb Burger
- 4 lbs ground beef
- 4 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed and mushed
- portabella mushroom, grilled and sliced (optional)
- asiago cheese (high umami factor) (optional)
- cooked bacon (optional)
- vegetables, to make the burger look pretty (optional)
- Mix the fish sauce, sugar, pepper and garlic in with the ground beef and let it sit for about half an hour.
- Meanwhile, preheat the BBQ to medium high.
- Form the ground meat into patties and put them on the grill.
- Grill until the burgers are cooked through.
- Layer your burger with your various umami ingredients: mushrooms, cheese, burger, bacon and veggies and enjoy.
- This is a very tasty recipe. Fast, easy and everyone loved the burgers. 'Just like umami used to make.'.
- Trust me on this: you cannot taste the fish sauce. The burger just tastes -- 'better'. Not fishy, not Vietnamese, just better. Try it - you'll like it.
