Tips & Tricks

  2. Feel free to char the corn more heavily if you prefer a smokier taste.

FAQS

  1. Can I use pre-ground meat instead of grinding it myself?

    Yes, you can use pre-ground sirloin and pork if you prefer. However, grinding the meat yourself allows for better control over texture and freshness.

  2. What is shoepeg corn, and can I substitute it?

    Shoepeg corn is a sweeter variety of corn with small kernels. You can substitute it with regular canned corn if shoepeg corn is unavailable.

  3. Can I make the blue cheese slaw ahead of time?

    Yes, the blue cheese slaw can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

  4. What can I use instead of Moore's Marinade?

    You can substitute Moore's Marinade with any similar marinade or a mix of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and a touch of vinegar.

  5. Can I grill the burgers instead of pan-frying them?

    Absolutely! Grilling the burgers will add a smoky flavor and works perfectly for this recipe.
