So I have Bobby Flay’s Burgers, Fries, and Shakes cookbook, which I absolutely love!!  Every burger I’ve made has been a winner.  Yes, some of the ingredient lists may be a little long or include hard to find items, so I do have to do some tweaking to make them work.  However, they still come out super delicious and so gourmet!!

They are just so much fun to make on a Friday or Saturday night!

His recipes always include wonderful sauces and finishing touches.  They are so worth the extra step!!  For this aioli sauce, I replaced Piquillo peppers with Pepperocini peppers.  I also used regular smoked paprika instead of smoked Spanish paprika.
For the cheese, you can use pepperjack instead of Manchego (We tried both and liked them equally).
For the ham, you can use regular thinly sliced smoked ham instead of Serrano ham.

Give these a try, and you will be so glad you did!

Ingredients

• For the Aioli:
• 1/2 cup mayo
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped or 1 tsp jarred minced garlic
• 2 tbsp Pepperocini peppers
• 1 tsp smoked Paprika
• 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
• For the burgers:
• 1 1/2 lb. ground beef (80/20)
• Kosher salt and pepper
• 3 tbsp canola oil
• 4 sesame seed hamburger buns, toasted
• 4 slices of Manchego cheese or pepperjack
• 8 slices of Serrano ham or smoked ham

Instructions

1. Make the aioli: Mix the mayo, garlic, peppers, paprika, and salt in a food processor. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Make 4 hamburger patties about 3/4 in. thick. Make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Use 1 1/2 tbsp of canola oil to brush on both sides of patties. Grill the burgers over medium high heat until golden brown and slightly charred for about 5 minutes on the first side. Flip and grill on the other side for another 5 minutes or until desired doneness.
3. Assemble the burgers: Spread the bottom and top bun with aioli sauce. Top with a slice of cheese and a 2 slices of ham. Top with burger, another slice of cheese and 2 more slices of ham. Finally top with bun.
4. Brush bottom and top buns with olive oil. Place in pan over medium high heat. Press down on burger and grill until golden brown. I used another smaller skillet to help flatten bun. Flip and grill until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Serve while hot.

I’ve come to really like Bobby Flay’s recipes, especially during this time of year.  I’ve got two of his cookbooks, and I’ve absolutely loved everything I’ve made.  Yes, his ingredient lists are a little long, but I’ve found all his extra little condiments he adds really make a huge difference!  I guess that’s why he’s famous…

Brush the onions and peppers with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until soft and slightly charred, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.  Remove and roughly chop for topping pizzas.

Heat grill to high.  Split dough into 4 equal portions.  On a floured surface, roll and stretch out for individual pizzas.  These are very rustic, don’t worry if they are not round.  Brush sides of dough with olive oil and sprinkle one side with salt and pepper.  Quickly and carefully transfer them to grill.  Grill 2 to 3 minutes until golden and flip and grill another 1 or 2 minutes.

For the DOUGH:
Recipe adapted from Food Network Magazine
1 tbsp sugar
1 1/4 oz packet of active yeast
3 tbsp olive oil, plus more for brushing
3 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/2 tsp salt

In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix 1 1/3 cups of warm water (105 degrees) and sugar.  Stir in the yeast and let set about 10 minutes.  It will be foamy when done.  Stir in olive oil.  Whisk the flour and salt together in a separate bowl.  Slowly add the flour mixture to the yeast mixture, turning on the mixer after each addition.  (I use my dough hook the entire time).  It may be necessary to scrape the sides occasionally.  Continue mixing with dough hook for about 10 minutes on medium speed.  Dough will pull from the sides of bowl when it is ready.  Transfer to a bowl coated in a little olive oil.  Sometimes it helps to sprinkle a little extra flour on your hands and on the dough to get it out of the bowl.  Brush dough with olive oil once in bowl.  Cover with dish towel and set in a warm place.  Let it rise for about 1 1/2 or 2 hours.  SERIOUSLY…pizza dough is so easy to make!

I hope you give this one a try!  It’s great and super easy to change up to your personal preferences.
