HOME COOKING: Carl's Jr Charcoaled Burger Restaurant Recipes You Can Do At Home - Carl's Jr's Famous Star - Carl's Jr. Chicken Club - Prime Recipes

In an era when so-called value menus are attempting to lure customers with dollar-priced snacks and bite-sized burgers, Carl's Jr. is proving that taste and quality never go out of style.

With the creation of its ultimate premium burger, the Prime Rib Six Dollar Burger, Carl's Jr. set a new standard for quality fast-food and re-defined value in comparison to similar items available at fancy sit-down restaurants thoughout West Coast communities.

 The new high-end burger is the latest in the Carl's Jr. string of "meat-as-a-condiment" menu items, which have included the Pastrami Six Dollar Burger and the Philly Cheesesteak Six Dollar Burger. The newest meat-on-meat creation is sure to satisfy even the hungriest of prime rib lovers.

The Prime Rib Six Dollar Burger consists of a charbroiled, 100 percent Black Angus beef patty topped with thinly-sliced prime rib, melted Swiss cheese, grilled onions and horseradish sauce all on a toasted Ciabatta roll - and all for about the price of a gallon of gasoline.

With enough spice to challenge even a jalapeño-lover's taste buds, the Jalapeño Chicken Sandwich is also topped with Carl's Jr.'s zesty, signature Santa Fe sauce and Pepperjack cheese, so it's sure to leave stomachs satisfied and eyes glistening.

By combining the spicy success of the Jalapeño Burger and Jalapeño Six Dollar Burger with the juicy flavor of its marinated and charbroiled chicken breast sandwiches, Carl's Jr. extends its history of product innovation in the quick-service restaurant industry.

--Carl's Jr's Famous Star--

1/4 pound ground chuck

1 large sesame-seed bun

Kraft mayonnaise

Heinz ketchup

Heinz hamburger relish (the red stuff)

Vlasic hamburger slices

tomato, white onion, lettuce

Pre-Prepare your Condiments:

Mix 1 Tablespoon ketchup with 1/2 Tablespoon relish, set aside. Chop the lettuce...you'll need a handful per burger.

Thinly slice the tomato and onion. You'll need 1-2 tomato slices, and 3-4 rings of fresh onion. (These amounts are for each Famous Star.

Divide one pound of ground chuck ito 4 equal portions. On waxed paper, form each portion into 5 inch round patties. Freeze for at least an hour.

Keep any spares frozen until needed. Obviously you'll do this in advance. When cooking time draws near, toast the faces of the bun (top and bottom) on a 375 electric griddle. They should be an even tan color.

1. Preheat either an outdoor gas barbecue, or an indoor electric one. After it is pre-heated, place a still-frozen beef patty on the grill, pressing down firmly for 4-5 seconds. (This will get you the grill marks) Salt liberally. Cook for 3 minutes (gas) or 5-6 minutes (electric). Eyeball it---if it looks ready to turn, turn it.

2. While the beef is cooking, dress your bun as follows: Top Half: Your pre-mixed special sauce (ketchup and relish) 1/2 Tablespoon mayonnaise Bottom Half: 1/2 Tablespoon mayonnaise 3 pickle slices 1 handful of chopped iceberg lettuce 1-2 tomato slices 3-4 fresh rings of onion.

3. Turn the beef patty over, press down firmly with a spatula for 3-4 seconds, and salt liberally. (Don't be afraid to have a few flames "kiss." the burger...they are charbroiled.

4. Place the cooked beef patty on the dressed bottom bun, add the top. Carl's Jr's Famous Star 88 Want to make a Carl's Jr All-Star ? After placing the beef on the bottom bun, add a slice of real Amercian cheese on top of the patty, then 2 slices of cooked bacon before placing the top bun on. (Criss-cross the bacon in an X pattern)

--Carl's Jr. Chicken Club--

 2 Whole chicken breasts, Boned and halved

1 Cup Teriyaki marinade (Lawry's Is best)

4 Whole-wheat hamburger buns

8 Slice Bacon

1/4 Cup Mayonnaise

1 Cup Alfalfa sprouts, loosely

Packed

4 Lettuce leaves

4 Large Tomato slices

4 Slice Kraft Swiss Cheese Singles

Marinate the chicken in the teriyaki marinade in a shallow bowl for 30 minutes. Preheat a clean barbecue to medium grilling heat.

Brown the faces of each bun in a frying pan on the stove. Keep the pan hot. Cook the bacon in the pan until crisp, then set aside.

Grill the chicken breasts 5 to 8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the face of each bun, top and bottom. Divide the sprouts into 4 portions and mound on each bottom bun.

On the sprouts, stack a lettuce leaf, then a slice of tomato. Place one chicken breast half on each of the sandwiches, a top the tomato. Next, stack a slice of Swiss cheese on the chicken, and then the 2 pieces of bacon, crossed over each other.

Top off the sandwich with the top bun. Microwave for 15 seconds on high. Makes 4 sandwiches.

Bon Appetit!

 In 2008, Carl's Jr. introduced its "Fake Restaurant" ad campaign. By using actors and props, Carl's Jr. created a formal gourmet burger restaurant to demonstrate--via supposedly hidden cameras--people enjoying the burgers and the fact they will happily pay $14-16 for a Carl's Jr. Six Dollar Burger, which actually is priced at only around $3.99 plus tax.

Pesto ... Pre-grated cheese or grate it yourself?

I'm planning to make basil pesto and the recipes usually call for freshly grated parmesan. Does this mean getting a block of parmesan cheese and grating it yourself? Or can I use pre-grated parmesan cheese (Not the Kraft version but Trader Joe's carries a pre-grated parmesan in the refrigerator aisle ... I assume since it's in the refrigerator it is "freshly" grated).

It will work pretty much the same, but it depends on how good you want it to turn out.

A lot of pre-grated cheese products from what I understand have things in them to absorb the moisture so the cheese won't get moldy (like wood). So, they don't melt as well, and don't tast as fresh/potent/good.

I would personally prefer using real grated cheese. Now, some people won't grate their parmesean until it has been dried either, so that's another thing you want to consider.
