This was intended to my first Steemit Iron Chef entry although I've just realized I'm missing a crucial element for the entry, a time stamped photo. I'm still posting this because this burger was just too good. The theme was to "Pimp that Burger" and this is what I came up with. I recently became obsessed with the Mexican delicacy known as huitlacoche. Most Americans are unaware of this ingredient, in the US it's actually referred to as "corn smut". Seriously, google that phrase and you'll find it. It's a plague in the US despite the fact that it's totally edible and a good way to consume what is usually considered a ruined crop.

It's honestly what happens when water gets in the corn husk and activates mold spores. You often get this edible mushroom that is prized by chefs for good reason. It's great for people who hate mushrooms because it holds a more firm texture when cooking (unless cooked heavily, everything becomes mush then).

Ingredients:

Fresh Ground Beef
Provolone Cheese
Bacon
huitlacoche
Onions
Garlic
Butter
Ketchup
Organic Mustard
Mayo

This was easily one of my better burgers and even John agreed saying something along the lines of "I hope you got good pictures, this is worth entering in that contest." Too bad I forgot that one photo...next time!.
