I have concluded that occasionally my family is a little bit crazy, like the day last week when we made 420 hamburgers, just for fun.
My brothers like going hunting, and when my oldest brother heard that Mom wouldn’t mind having some more meat, he went out with a friend, and they came back with two deer. That was quite a blessing—they don’t always even see deer when they go out!—and we gratefully received the meat.
Last Thursday, almost everyone in our family worked to break the carcasses down and debone the meat.
By lunchtime, we were almost finished with the deboning process, and started grinding the meat.
We made quite a bit of the meat into bulk sausage/sausage mince:
And then came the biggest job: Making hamburgers!
So, without further ado, here is how you make 420(ish) hamburgers at once. First, flatten your pile of meat and then hollow out the center:
Pour on cup after cup after cup of oats,
and crack 60 eggs into the middle. (Sprinkle on some dried onion, salt, and pepper, too.)
Pour more wetness in, just for fun—jars and jars of tomato juice. Don’t let it breach its banks!
(And this is the part where I didn’t get a picture, because my hands were coated in the mixture.) Carefully mix it up, and DON’T let the dam burst, and the contents slide onto the floor. We had several tense, exciting moments, but managed to avert disaster, on the whole.
Mix it until it’s all one uniform stack again (my siblings decided to make the world’s biggest hamburger, below; I’m not sure how we were going to manage to get it to a barbecue in one piece, though).
Then, divide your huge hamburger out into patties, with cling wrap in between each layer. It’ll seem like an endless job…
…but it really isn’t. It only takes around 30 minutes.
Freeze them, and the next day (sorry, I forgot to get a picture), pop them loose and re-bag them, and then enjoy having (almost) all your work done for you the next time you want to have hamburgers for dinner.
Oh, and if you’re interested, here’s the recipe we used (in case you want to be as crazy as we are):
What would you do if you were given 420 hamburgers to eat?
