Make Father’s Day extra special with these over-the-top burgers inspired by a classic drink. The flavor-packed patty provides the perfect foil to the best part of a Bloody Mary: an impressive skewer of tasty garnishes. Let your creativity shine as you put together a burger that looks as appealing as it tastes.
Bloody Mary Burgers
Makes 4 burgers
Preparation time: 30 minutes
- 1 lb. ground beef
- ¼ cup onion, diced
- ¼ cup blue cheese-stuffed olives, chopped
- 2 Tbsp. ketchup
- 1 Tbsp. Bloody Mary seasoning
- 4 brioche buns, for serving
- garnishes, for serving, such as cheese, celery, beef sticks, cornichons, pickled carrots, sprigs of herbs (like parsley or cilantro), cherry tomatoes, hard boiled eggs or jalapeños
Mix beef, onion, olives, ketchup and seasoning together, and form into four patties. Grill or pan fry for 3–5 minutes per side, until cooked through. Remove from heat, and place burgers on the buns. Get creative with your favorite Bloody Mary toppings. The possibilities are endless! Add the toppings to a skewer, and stick the skewer through the finished burger and bun before serving.
