Apple Burgers! Kind of...

Well, it's been a lot longer than I thought it was going to be between posts.  I initially had the mind that I would post something at LEAST once a month.  I started off with a failure!  Well, time to turn that around.  So... here we go!

Ingredients:

• Ground beef
• Your choice of seasoning
• Apple rings

Starting off with the ground beef I use the cheater patty maker.  I like these because they make uniform patties pretty quickly.

When seasoning burgers I have my three trusty stand-bys that I like to use: McCormick Beef Seasoning, Johnny's Seasoning Salt, and fresh ground pepper.

Seasonings!

When I season a burger I always put the seasoned side down on the grill and immediately season the other side.  Once I started doing this I seemed to be catching more of the seasoning than I had in the past.

One I put the burgers on the grill I added the apple rings to the tops of a few of them.

When I flipped the burgers I left the apple slices on the side they started on so they were now closer to the heat.  My whole thought on this was that by having the apple slices it would add a hint of sweetness and a touch of new flavor to the burger.

Here's the finished product!  Unfortunately, they look MUCH better than they tasted.  The burgers were actually good, but I had anticipation for something special and was let down.

Have you done something similar or have ideas on what might work well?  I'd love to hear it!

Thanks for reading!
