these were home cooked beef burgers not under cooked ones from MacDonalds!! all our meals are home cooked.
sausages and baked beans tonight.
I will eat a burger occasionally if I cook it at home with really lean beef and have a salad on it too. The problem with fast food is they use much too much fat in the ground beef. It’s hard to beat a good hamburger once in a while.
 
there is a story in the British newspaper of someone who bought a burger at Macdonalds and it was uncooked, raw and bloody on the inside! that's why I wont eat this sort of stuff, also I don't know where the meat comes from, I try to eat British produced food if I possibly can. all our meals are cooked at home, we haven't eaten out for a long time, maybe a couple of years now.
all our meat is bought locally, either from the weekly market or from a farm shop.
 
I really like most cheeseburgers, but McDonald’s is the lowest on the list. I crave a whopper from Burger King occasionally with that fake smoke flavoring. Agreed though, a good home style burger is the best. I haven’t had one in a while now so will pu some lean ground beef soon. I like onion, lettuce, tomato, cheese and pickle on it too, with really lite mayo and ketchup. Yum....

I like lettuce, tomato, pickles, saute mushrooms and onions on mine with real cheddar cheese or colby jack, none of that fake "American" cheese that McD uses and is an insult to the entire country and really to the entire American continents. I don't usually put ketchup or mayo at all, except maybe a little bit of mayo when toasting the bun.

I forgot mushrooms! Yeah good stuff. I only buy real cheese but since it is more expensive I doubt you ever get it at a fast food joint.
 
Basil isn’t one of my favorite spices. Small amounts are ok but taste is very subjective.
I like basil but I don't know that it would go well on a burger. I feel that with enough basil to substitute for the lettuce on a burger the strong flavor would overwhelm all the other flavors of the burger.
 
Fresh whole leaf sweet basil is very different from dried basil. I would have never tried it but for my mother who insisted that I try it. Knowing her she was probably out of lettuce one time and grabbed the only leafy substitute at hand, LOL And of course she used freshly picked basil from her backyard. One time and I was hooked.

Have you never eaten caprese?

You only need one leaf, but I use more. The flavor compliments the burger in a most delicious way.

I know what fresh basil is. I used to have basil plants and would eat the leaves plain. They were delicious (we would also eat the parsley and dill, until my sister ate literally the whole dill plant and killed it). But basil is also a strong flavor. Caprese is supposed to taste like basil. Hamburgers are not.

If your budget permits, buy ground sirloin instead of regular ground beef. And next time you make home-made chili, use ground sirloin...does wonders for the chili!!
