Home for Dinner with Jamie Deen Season 1 Episode 2 Burgers!

Jamie Deen follows some burger recipes in this second episode of Home for Dinner with Jamie Deen season 1.

In the first segment of the show, Jamie went grocery shopping to get all the ingredients he is going to use for his burgers. He got some ground beef, cheese, onion rings, lettuce, and tomatoes. Jamie said he was going to make several burgers, each with a different taste.

Now it was time for the grill. Jamie seasoned the meat before cooking it, and he suggested using a patty press so that all his burgers are about the same size and shape. While the burgers cooked, Jamie prepared the toppings. He combined some mayonnaise with some hot sauce, and he made his own BBQ sauce too. Jamie also cooked some bacon and fried some onion rings.

Jamie was ready to assemble the burgers. He used brioche buns, and he suggested toasting them before putting all the ingredients together. Jamie started with the most basic burger: the cheeseburger. He added ketchup, mustard, and pickles to the patty, and then topped it with a slice of American cheese. The second burger had a southern twist. Jamie used pimento cheese, and he added bacon and onion rings to it. Then he made a blue cheese burger, which he topped with some arugula and more onion rings. The last burger Jamie made was a BBQ burger. He layered the patty with some BBQ sauce and cheddar cheese, and he added some coleslaw and pickle slices to it.

After the burgers were ready, Jamie and his family sat down to eat. They all agreed that the burgers were great, each of them had a distinct flavor that they loved. Jamie's kids said they would want to have dad's burgers again, and Jamie said that it was just as easy to make it at home as it was to order them at a restaurant.

In the second half of the episode, Jamie made some alternatives to beef burgers. He prepared a turkey burger with carrots, celery, and onion mixed in. Jamie seasoned the turkey meat and grilled it for a quick and healthy option. Jamie said that he chose turkey for this recipe because it is lean, but warned that the meat could dry out quickly if it’s overcooked. To avoid this, Jamie made a spicy sauce to put on top of the turkey burger. The sauce had some jalapeños, red onion, tomato, and cilantro.

For the fish lovers, Jamie prepared a salmon burger. He made a patty by shredding salmon and mixing it with egg whites, bread crumbs, and some spices. Jamie said that, unlike beef, salmon doesn't have fat and that it could be a healthier option. The salmon burger was topped with some avocado, cucumber, and red onion.

Jamie was very happy with how his different burgers turned out and said that there are many other variations he would like to try in the future. He suggested that viewers try making their own burgers and see which one is their favorite.
