Zukb6: Idea- you could just make a smaller version of this with regular sized hamburger patties.
Zombiac3: Missing the actual ingredients that would make it wellington. Pate/duxelles
JTPerry555: So it’s basically a Burger pie?
literalpsychotroll: I always get squicked out when people leave their rings on and mix meat with their hands.
pm_me_your_tanlinez: Meat in pastry does not qualify as a Wellington.
Costumekiller: Why
mattreyu: I can already hear Gordon Ramsay yelling at me while I make this
hippiefur: Can we stop this trend of the gif starting randomly in the middle of the recipe for a split second?
Kiwcakes: You can see the raw pastry when he cuts into it. There’s not enough space between the moist meat for it to cook. Not a good bake at all.
BeesSolveEverything: Not trying to be mean or anything but I’m wondering if this recipe is going to cause the following problems:
1. That’s a lot of meat in that skillet. I feel like it’s going to take a long time to cook that through properly on a skillet that size, which means the outside of the meat patty might end up dry or overcooked. I suppose the meat pancakes can be mostly cooked on the outside and finish cooking in the oven?
2. How are you going to flip the giant patty like that without slinging searing hot meat juice all over yourself? I guess you’ll need to carefully drain it out without the meat-pancake escaping out of the skillet, but the gif didn’t show that and the recipe doesn’t mention it. Is this a really lean type of ground beef?
3. I feel like there’s so much meat being baked, either the meat is going to dry out in the oven or the juices are going to make the crust really soggy and gross.
drewbehm: fuck eh
justinsayin: So step 4 is:
“Flip this over while 300 degree beef fat cooks your hand.”
LotharVonPittinsberg: Am I the only one bothered that he is wearing two rings while handling raw meat without gloves?
RontheDuck: Oh shit it’s a Mondo burger
bbq6: Pro-tip: take one of the (at least) 10 large beef discs out of your freezer that you keep on hand at any given time. This lets you skip most of the prep work and get right to the Wellington.
TheLadyEve: 1) I hate to be that guy, but I think the best way to describe this is “hamburger en croute” not Wellington.
2) Can we please stop showing the middle of the gif first? It’s so irritating.
Pinksmartapple: I thought this looked delicious. After reading the comments I don’t like it anymore…
KillerBeeTX: MMMMMM a dry, overcooked beef wad! YES!
aManPerson: should have put reduced mushrooms on before putting the top layer of dough on.
Drekavac_6: No mustard? or anything wellington besides puff pastry? Stuffed burgers bug me in general. The shots at the end with the gooey insides surrounded by overdone dry burger always make me say but why not just cook a good burger and put the inside stuff on top of it….
MeatBald: Making stoner food look fancy is all well and good, but let’s be real: if I were to serve this to the in-laws, they’d have me drug tested asap.
Troutaaryl: Here in Minnesota, we call that Juicy Lucy. We dont make them that big, but idea is still the same.
bjij123: Maybe season the beef a little more, this looks bland to me?
PM_ME_2DISAGREEWITHU: I’m not too proud to admit that I would eat this like it owed me money.
It’s not Wellington, but you could throw the missing Wellington ingredients in there. You could also just throw some bacon and onions in there and have a cheeseburger pastry pie and it would be tasty af.
available_username2: The fuck is wrong with people. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Animals
yourgifrecipesucks: Given the choice between [this and 18 Big Macs](https://fthmb.tqn.com/YIJBaInC9LfmzqQE5b9HnXVULGU=/1000×0/Nutrition-Label-Embed–1518327405-5a60e53296f7d00037864639.png) I would probably choose to starve to death.
7/10
Banana_Havok: This is so stupid. A lot of work for something that probably doesn’t taste as good as a regular burger.
eggymaster: Double bypass incoming
manbiteswolf: This is not going to turn out well. Or as anything other than overcooked beef stuffed with crappy cheese, wrapped in a half browned half soggy pastry.
DrBitchMD: Can someone be a dear and make this for me and deliver it to me in bed. Thanks!
hotstickywaffle: I feel like making regular cheeseburgers is easier and probably better
Awesomenamebruh: That’s a cheeseburger…
azora0: Damn the beginning frames are really throwing me off. Why not start with the cross-section?
drocks27: **INGREDIENTS**
* 4lb beef mince (ground beef)
* 1 tbsp salt
* 1 tbsp pepper
* 1 tsp garlic powder
* 2 cups grated mixed cheese
* 1 tbsp oil
* 2.2 lb puff pastry
* 3 egg yolks, beaten
* 2 tbsp sesame seeds
**Directions**
* Preheat the oven to 180°C/360°F.
* Mix the beef mince together with the salt, pepper and garlic powder. Split in two and press each half into a springform cake tin on a sheet of baking paper. Sprinkle one half with cheese and lay the other on top, then press together around the edges to seal.
* Heat the oil in a large frying pan then fry the massive burger on both sides (you can flip it by placing a plate on top and spinning the pan upside-down).
* Cut the pastry into two circles, each larger than the burger. Lay the burger on one and paint the visible edge of pastry with egg yolk, then lay the other pastry circle on top and press together to seal and crimp around the edges.
* Brush the whole thing with more egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
* Bake for 40 – 50 minutes until a temperature probe says the beef is cooked through.
