Pat LaFrieda Beef Hamburger

Pat LaFrieda Beef Hamburger

Allen's Provolone Cheeseburger

I won a gift card for Fresh Direct at an event I attended recently and ordered lots of fresh fruits, veggies and meats. Everything was delivered right to my front door, and Sophia and me were really pleased with the quality of what we ordered and will use this service again. We always wanted to buy Pat LaFrieda meats, but it is not available in Riverdale. Thanks to Fresh Direct serving the Bronx area now, I can order Pat LaFrieda meats whenever I want to.

Pat LaFrieda Beef Hamburger LaFrieda's Original

Sophia was eager to cook these burgers as we have seen Pat LaFrieda featured on both Travel Channel and Food Network. I ordered a 4-pack of Pat LaFrieda Beef Hamburger LaFrieda's Original. The Original Burger Blend is a combination of chuck, brisket, and short-rib from American Black Angus Beef and while it costs a few more bucks than standard burgers, it is well worth it.

Toast the sesame buns in the oven at 425 degrees for 7 minutes, and season both sides of each patty with Kosher Salt and McCormick Grill Mates Hamburger Seasoning. That is all there is to it my friends!

Burgers all seasoned!

The burgers were cooked medium well and each patty flipped only once. Feel free to add sliced onions, but we topped our burgers with Loeb's Onion Crunch instead. Each side got a nice sear which is key for a perfect tasting burger. My burgers were finished with 2 slices of Provolone Cheese (Sargento). Note: do not press down on the burgers or the juices will seep out and you will end up with a dry burger. It is better to put the burgers on a plate lined with a paper towel to let some grease out before serving them.

My toasted hamburger bun was dressed with Thousand Island on one side and the other with Mayonnaise and a generous spread of Extra Hot Horseradish (Beaver Brand). My burger was topped with Loeb's Onion Crunch which completes any burger in our opinion. I had Pickles and sliced Tomatoes on the side with French Fries and for dipping, Heinz Hot & Spicy Tomato Ketchup made with Tabasco Pepper Sauce.

Pat LaFrieda burgers were some of the best tasting we have ever had at home. The burgers were big, real juicy and restaurant quality. We will order Pat LaFrieda beef products again and highly recommend them!
