GILSON burgers

You know you want it! This is the original, tried and true Gilson recipe for meat on bread:

 INGREDIENTS: ground beef (85% fat is good), english muffins, cheese

 Preheat oven to 350/375 depends on how well done you want your beef - higher temp, more pink inside. separate english muffins and place on baking sheet. take ground beef and roll into tennis-ball sized portions then press into english muffins. Sprinkle with salt (and pepper if you're going nuts). Bake for about 25-40 minutes. Depends on how hungry you are/how long you can wait. Just before they're done, place a slab of cheese onto the tops and bake until melted and bubbly. 

You may have to toss the pan afterwards if you're heavy handed with the cheese. 

 NOTE: Mr. Gilson has been known to like a little something special in his Gilson burger; he'd hide a little slice of garlic in the burger before cooking...a nice touch I think but this mom also prefers a little slice of bacon on top. Have fun but remember: the best Gilson burgers are the simple ones. Make sure you have LOTS of napkins and ketchup and don't seer your innards with all that bubbling cheese.

 (Gilson burgers are fabulous for breakfast if there are any left! just wrap a bit of papertowel around one, nuke for about 20 seconds, and go! Just make sure you have a big napkin in the car, otherwise everyone at work will see the greasy mark in your lap and be super jealous they didn't have a Gilson burger for breakfast.)
