Filet Mignon Burgers for The Ultimate Gourmet Tailgating Party

Whenever we entertain, my husband will be the first person to tell you that I go a little overboard. I put out a spread and always make too much food. This is how I was raised. It’s in my blood to feed people and, hopefully, feed them well. I love variety and I also love a little gourmet. And if there’s one thing I enjoy, it’s working with foods in different ways. Most of the time, there’s not just one way to prepare or serve something, even if you’ve been eating it the same way your whole life.

It’s August and we’re heading into fall, football season and tailgating parties. A lot of my friends are master tailgaters. They know what to bring, how to pack it and know how to feed a crowd. I wouldn’t put myself in the same category with them, but I know how to feed people. Tailgating. It’s a whole different world. The grills, the equipment, the food; it’s all so exciting. And I love how passionate people are about it.

Now, I realize that for some, a Filet Mignon burger might sound crazy. I mean, with a Filet Mignon, you really don’t need to add or do anything. You just grill it up and eat it. But I wanted to take it a little further today.

Filet Mignon Burger with Caramelized Onions

I made these burgers and let me tell you, both my husband and I devoured these babies. I am so not joking when I say we devoured these burgers. I usually can’t finish one entire burger but with this one, I ate the entire thing and wanted a second one immediately. The tender, juicy, flavorful filet mignon that was perfectly grilled, with the caramelized onions and the brioche bun, this was heaven.

Amazing.

If you serve these at your next tailgating party, everyone will be wanting more and they won’t even care who wins the game because these burgers are that good. OK, that might not be true but you know what I mean.

I used Filet Mignon steaks from Omaha Steaks. Now, my father is a foodie and he would order Omaha Steaks from time to time when we were kids. All I remember is what a treat it was to eat them. They always tasted so good. Like we were eating the best beef out there.

And we were.

Omaha Steaks Filet Mignon are cut from the heart of the tenderloin, using the finest grain-fed beef. They are aged to peak flavor and tenderness, vacuum wrapped and flash frozen to lock in freshness. These are simply the best.

I hope you give these burgers a try!
