Poutine Burger

Ingredients

Ground beef

1 pound (450g)

Salt

1 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Hamburger buns

4, soft

Gravy

2 cups, prepared

Cheese curds

1 cup

Lettuce

4 leaves, washed and dried

Tomato

1, sliced

Onion

1 small, sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a large bowl, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Mix gently and form the mixture into 4 equal patties, making a small indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing during cooking.
3. Grill the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium, aim for an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
4. While the burgers are grilling, heat the prepared gravy in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through.
5. Toast the hamburger buns on the grill for about 1 minute, or until they are lightly golden and crispy.
6. To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Add a slice of tomato and a slice of onion on top.
7. Once the patties are grilled, place a patty on top of the onion, then generously top with cheese curds.
8. Pour hot gravy over the cheese curds, allowing it to melt them slightly, then cap with the other half of the bun.
9. Serve the poutine burgers immediately, with extra napkins on the side for a messy, delicious experience!
