Burger. Hot dog. Durger?

Head to the grocery store and have a successful trip.  Get home, put the food away, and fire up the grill for some burgers.  The meat is seasoned and ready to go, and then you realize that you forgot the burger buns and only have the hot dog buns in the cabinet.  No problem, in comes the the hot burger... durger... bog?  Well whatever, it is a burger shaped like a hot dog.

This recipe uses our Pastamore Barrel-Aged Worcestershire Sauce and Pastamore Barrel-Aged Balsamic Vinegar.  These are combined with some spices to give the meat a bit of sausage flavor.  When life gives you lemons make hot dog shaped burgers.

Ingredients:     Serves 3-4
1 lb - 80/20 ground beef
1/2 Tbsp - Pastamore Barrel-Aged Balsamic Vinegar
1 tsp - Pastamore Barrel-Aged Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 tsp - salt
1/4 tsp - garlic powder
1/8 tsp - mace
1/8 tsp - ground cumin
1/8 tsp - onion powder
1/8 tsp - black pepper
1 dash - cayenne pepper
6 - hot dog buns

Directions:
1.  Heat grill to medium-high heat.

2.  Place ground beef into a large mixing bowl.  Add the Pastamore Barre-Aged Balsamic Vinegar, Pastamore Barrel-Aged Worcestershire Sauce, and all spices.  Mix until all ingredients are evenly spread.  Shape into 6 hot dog shaped patties.  Make longer than expected as the meat will shrink during the cooking process.

3.  Place the patties on the grill, turning one during the cooking process.  Cook to desired doneness and remove from the grill.

4.  Place the cooked burgers onto the hot dog buns and top with your favorite condiments.
