I have a Leo's Coney Island by my house and love their loose burgers. How do I make them?How do you make a loose burger from coney island?
Ingredients:
2 pounds hamburger
1 can Campbell french onion soup-undiluted-
restaurant style hamburger buns or hotdog buns.
Directions:
While browning hamburger - using a potato masher keep breaking up the chunks-you want the hamburger to very fine- drain. Add can of french onion soup - box soup mixes don't work well with this recipe. Bring to a boil and add dried onions garlic or onion salt if you wish. Lower to low heat, cover and simmer 15 minutes.
This recipe is great served on steamed buns topped with shredded cheeses of your choice.
This recipe for Simple Loose Hamburger serves/makes 6
Original Greek Coney Sauce
1 pound Ground beef
1 cup lard
1 medium Onion(s), diced
1/3 cup Chili powder
2 teaspoons Paprika
1 teaspoon Black pepper, coarsely ground
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Cumin powder
1 teaspoon Allspice
1 teaspoon Basil, dried
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Oregano, dried
PREPARATION:
To get the right consistency, cover the meat with water and soak, in the fridge, for about 30 minutes. Then take a fork and break up any remaining chunks. Drain the water and go on to browning. You will have some water while browning but it will slowly steam off.
Brown beef, onion and shortening.
Add remaining ingredients.
Simmer for 2 hours. You may have to add some water.
This freezes well.
I made this over the weekend with a few slight modifications and it was good. The modifications were I added Celery Seeds just 'cause I like Celery seeds and I saw them in another sauce recipe. I also added Ice to the water for soaking the meat and lined a colander with 1 layer of Cheese Cloth and drained the meat thru it. Worked like a charm. It was a little dry at the end so rather than add water I used a small can of tomato sauce. This one's a keeper!
