Elliot Ness Burger
My wife and I decided to change up the menu and focus this site on burgers. When we talk about burgers we mean, hamburger, cheeseburger, chicken burger, veal burger, mushroom burger, and vegie burger.
If it comes from a burger menu or a burger bar then we will be talking about it. I absolutely love burgers and hamburgers. If done correctly a hamburger can be a healthy meal any day of the week.
Today’s burger is inspired by one of our favorite pizza places. I love Pizza Chicago but at times can not afford the price tag that comes with pizza with high quality ingredients. As you can guess by the title our Chicken burger from the burger menu is our Elliot Ness Burger.
The Chicken burger items you’ll need is:
3 oz of ground chicken
2 oz of smoked gouda
2 Tbsp BBQ sauce
1 Tbsp chopped red onions
2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
Mix the ground chicken with the red onions and form into a 3 oz patty. Grill the ground chicken until done.
While the chicken burger is cooking, spread the BBQ sauce on toasted hamburger buns. Place the chopped fresh cilantro on the toasted hamburger buns.
When the Chicken Burger is almost done, top with the gouda cheese and then cover with a small metal lid. This will allow the gouda cheese to melt over the chicken burger.
Place the chicken burger on top of the lower bun and top with your favorite toppings like more red onions, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo, or whatever chicken burger topping you might think would be tasty.
Enjoy your Elliot Ness Chicken Burger

I wonder how many variations of burger recipies there are. It would be nice if the burger joints had different offerings on the burger. With my busy work schedule, I end up eating probably too many burgers. I do four mile a day walks to keep the effects of a burger rich diet from showing….. Good site on burgers!
There could be hundreds of variations. Some places are great when you can build your own hamburger or chicken burger but they just don’t offer enough variations in burger toppings.
Lisa,
I’m really glad you liked the recipe. I’ll have to add more of my favorites.
