It was a hamburger kind of night. I wanted to try something different with our burgers. I took a pound of lean ground beef and added an egg, 1/4 cup of Worcestershire, freshly ground black pepper, and a little kosher salt. In the end, we had pretty ugly, but nicely flavored burgers. The combination of a really hot grill and cold meat resulted in a lot of meat sticking to the grates. We topped the burgers with cheddar cheese and bacon. In the future, I need to make sure to use thick bacon for burgers. The thin stuff just gets lost when paired with flavorful burgers.
To go with the burgers, we grilled sliced yellow squash. The strips of squash were tossed in olive oil, salt, and pepper. After they came off the grill, we added Red Robin seasoning salt. I added a bit too much to mine, but could see how that would be a positive flavor addition with the correct amount applied. Katie wouldn't eat the squash, but she did eat some of the hamburger meat. Her favorite part of the meal was dipping her fingers into ketchup.
