Meat Vs Potatoes : Burger Battle

Howdy and Hello

Today we have a Burger Battle

We picked up some ground beef from Primal Pastures, a local source for quality flesh.

My wife picked out two recipes ,a basic beef burger and a mushroom, brown rice, and chickpea burger.

Because we couldn't eat that much burger in one sitting, we split the cooking up into two days.

Day one was prep and beef burgers, on the second day we cooked up the veggie patties.

Some how the footage from the veggie patties got corrupted and i could not recover them. major bummer.

So for the final filming i got one of my favorite veggie burgers from Health's Kitchen in Riverside, ca. it was cold when i got home to film but it still tasted amazing.

Overall the burgers were amazing, and i would eat any of them again.

We definitely noticed a difference with primal pastures ground beef. The burger was near perfection.

The veggie recipe my wife chose had some strong flavors in it coming from the soy sauce, Sriracha, and dijon mustard . They were very well balanced, but it would make it not a "everybody's" burger. The beef recipe had less attention grabbing flavors so it would mix better with any burger topping choices you had.

You can pulse in the mushrooms but we mixed them in by hand.

Chill the mixture for a few hours or over night for the flavors to marinate.
