Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to create your own delicious and potent Canna-Burger:
For the Burger Patties:
-
1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for juiciness)
-
2 tbsp cannabis-infused butter or oil
-
1 tsp salt
-
1/2 tsp black pepper
-
1/2 tsp garlic powder
-
1/2 tsp onion powder
-
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
-
1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
For the Toppings:
-
4 burger buns (toasted)
-
4 slices of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your choice)
-
1 large tomato (sliced)
-
1 small red onion (thinly sliced)
-
4 lettuce leaves
-
4 pickle slices
-
Your favorite condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Infuse the Meat with Cannabis
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, cannabis-infused butter or oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and smoked paprika. Mix gently—over-mixing can make the burgers tough.
2. Shape the Patties
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾-inch thick. Press a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent them from puffing up while cooking.
3. Cook the Patties
-
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side (for medium) or longer if you prefer well-done burgers.
-
During the last minute, add cheese on top and let it melt.
4. Assemble the Burgers
Toast the buns lightly, then spread your favorite condiments. Layer lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles before placing the patty on top. Cover with the top bun, and your Canna-Burger is ready!
Dosing Tips
-
Start low and go slow—if you're new to cannabis edibles, begin with a small amount of infused butter/oil.
-
Consider the potency of your cannabis infusion and adjust accordingly.
-
Wait at least 1-2 hours before consuming another serving to gauge the effects.
