Hi, friends!
As you may know, the season finale of “Breaking Bad” is this Sunday, and, holy crap, I am so pumped for it. I already have butterflies in my stomach.
If you are planning a viewing party or just want to incorporate a little more of the show into your life, here’s an epic Breaking Bad-inspired recipe from The Savory. I will definitely add these Hoisin Heisenbergers to our meal plan for Sunday. They sound incredible!
Sweet, tangy and spicy hoisin sauce kicks up beef patties and spices up mayo in this Breaking Bad-inspired beef burger recipe. You can make as regular burgers or sliders for a group. Marie’s purple slaw texturizes and adds some coolness to this flavor-bomb burger.
Hoisin Burgers:
- 1lb ground beef
- ½ green onion, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons cilantro, minced
- 2 Tablespoons ginger, minced
- 1 Tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- black pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients, being careful not to over-mix. Shape into patties and grill to desired done-ness.
Makes 4 quarter-pound burgers
Top with Marie’s Purple Slaw:
- 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
- 2 green onions or scallions, diced
- 2 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon veg oil
- 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
In a medium bowl, toss together all of the above. Make this ahead of time if desired and store covered in the fridge.
And slather on some Spicy Hoisin Mayonnaise:
- 1//4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons lime or lemon juice
- 3 teaspoons Asian chili garlic sauce or Sriracha
Whisk all ingredients together in small bowl and set aside.
Basic Assembly: Toast buns (a brioche roll or a sweeter roll works well) in broiler or on the grill until lightly browned. Place cooked burger on one side of bun. Slather a spread of the spicy hoisin mayo on top of burger. Layer the purple slaw on top. Finally, spread a thin layer of the mayo on the other half of the bun and top burger.

Can’t wait!!! I had to pause the last two episodes while watching. So emotional!!! I can’t watch them do anything more to Jessie!!! My heart breaks so bad for him!!!
Me too! Poor Jesse!!
No I will be watching the Patriots game. My husband will be torn over what to watch.
I am OBSESSED with breaking bad and this season has been beyond ridiculous. Burgers and beer (with a drinking game involved, naturally) would be a great way to celebrate the show’s end on Sunday.
I am on episode 3 of season 5. If I can manage to binge my way through the episodes before 9p on Sun then yes. However, the boyfriend and I have a pact that we don’t watch without the other, so I may have to go totally offline after the finale airs until we watch it. Which may not be until October.
ahhhh I can’t believe it’s almost over! I am so excited to see how they end it, but so sad its over. Best show on television for sure! Love the recipe 🙂 We were thinking of having breakfast for dinner since they’re always having breakfast…but maybe we’ll try this instead!
I’ve never seen it but I heard its great!
OH I am SO excited for BB!!! I actually haven’t had a chance to watch last week’s episode yet and I’m dying to! Can’t wait! Also, tried those Stack Wines you had and I like them!
Nice! Weren’t they fun?!?
I just started watching season 1 of Breaking Bad, I am hooked!
I am so depressed but I am DYING to watch how it ends!!!!! – so so many emotions – best show ever.
That sounds amazing! Breaking Bad is one of the three shows Zach and I are putting on our MUST watch list. I have a feeling we’ll get wrapped up in it though, so I may need to plan on playing the Breaking Bad game you posted about recently to keep from completely becoming a couch potato!
OMG I LOVE THIS!
LOVE THIS!!! I’m glad to see you’re as excited for the finale as I am. I just don’t know what’s going to happen!?! I also think I have a secret crush on Jesse and I just want him and Walt to make up, hug, and cry it out. SO EXCITED!
Ahh I CANT wait!!!
The Heisenburger, oh my gosh I love it! I’m so pumped for the finale, though I have a terrible feeling it won’t end well for ANYONE at this point!
My boyfriend and I are way behind on it we got halfway through season 2 and then he found it too depressing so we stopped.
I’ve missed the last few episodes but my god, this show is amazing!!! I absolutely love Breaking Bad. Can’t wait to catch up on what I missed!
love it 🙂
I’m *definitely* watching the season finale on Sunday night…I just can’t even fathom what craziness is going to happen.
Very creative! 🙂
I was into Breaking Bad but fell off the wagon, but I might have to get back into it. I am looking forward to Revenge coming back!!!!
I can’t believe I’m admitting this but we don’t watch Breaking Bad! I know – we have to get into it!! Everybody LOVES it! Enjoy and YUM!
