Cheeseburgers with My Special Sauce and Orida Tater Tots

My plate:

I think that Orida Tater Tots are by far the best tasting available to me.

I boil the hamburger patties in pure water. I know to some boiling hamburger meat sounds unusual for some of you to do but you get great meat and if you don't mind more plump burgers it is great. Healthier,  too! Not that I'm into that kind of thing......

I boil my meat 30 minutes. I check it after the first 15 minutes to make sure that both sides are cooking well because if you have too little water or some other reason that the whole of the meat is not cooking you will need to turn it half way through the cooking time,  which should be right then if you check it 15 minutes.

You can drain the meat on a plate with paper towels under it to soak up the excess water or quick drain it by picking up a knife or fork and punch it through the meat and hold the patties one by one up over the pan to drain and when it's drained enough for you shake gently and fix your burger.

Now to explain the sauce.

Now take out the condiments! Mustard, mayonase,  and ketchup. If you want a little kick, add horseradish sauce.

Now with a spoon in a bowl mix your condiments together and blend them well. If you blend the Mayo with the mustard (I personally prefer French's yellow mustard) first without adding anything else yet you will get more of a kick out of it and a slightly different taste out of it. Now blend ketchup and the horseradish sauce if you chose to add it.

Next,  what I do is smother the bottom of the hamburger buns with the sauce. Lay a piece of sharp cheddar sliced cheese on the top of the buns. Put your burger down on the bottoms of the buns over the sauce side. Spoon the sauce onto the tops of the patties and quickly close (the lid haha) the top of the bun with the cheese over it and smush.

If you are not eating right away wrap them up in either tinfoil, wax paper or saran wrap, any appropriate wrapping because they sit really well in it and the heat makes it a better burger if it sits 5 or 10 minutes.

To joy! Angie
