Burger Cook Off

The Animal Science class got to taste their work during the Beef Cattle Unit, along with some volunteer judges. Learning about different cuts of beef, students had to prepare and cook burgers that contained one secret ingredient, a variety of seasonings, toppings, and condiments. In groups of two, students cooked two burgers - one to cut into quarters for the judges and one to cut in half for themselves. They then named and presented their burger to the judges in the Burger Cook Off Challenge much like you may see on cooking shows. The Happy Bacon Cheeseburger with bacon being the secret ingredient took the win while the Double B burger with paprika for the secret ingredient took second, and the MD Special with banana peppers for the secret ingredient took third. Students were judged on appearance, taste, topping combination, and presentation. No matter if you were a competitor or a judge, the burger cook off was a tasty lesson!
