Celebrate the delicious diversity of the great American hamburger. Each week for 20 weeks, the AP will feature a new burger created by the biggest names in the food world.

It took Tim Love more than five months to create his seriously seasoned Love Burger. Luckily, you’ll be able to pull it off in under an hour.

That’s because Love — whose Fort Worth, Texas, restaurants include The Lonesome Dover Western Bistro and a burger joint called The Love Shack — takes his burgers seriously.

For Love, creating a tremendous burger meant not just perfecting the blend and grind of meat, but also seasoning it from the inside out, rather than just on the outside. He even created his own game rub (he’s a big fan of wild game) to do it with, a blend of chili powder, cumin, garlic, rosemary and thyme. After that, he goes for the classic finish — special sauce, tomatoes, pickles and American cheese.

GAME RUB

2 Tablespoons chili powder

2 Tablespoons kosher salt

3/4 Tablespoon ground black pepper

1/2 Tablespoon ground cumin

1/4 Tablespoon dried rosemary

1/4 Tablespoon dried thyme

1/4 Tablespoon garlic powder

In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients. Makes 1/4 cup

LOVE SAUCE

1/2 of a fresh Serrano chili

1/4 cup bread and butter pickle chips

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup ketchup

Splash white vinegar

1 1/2 Tablespoons game rub spice blend (see recipe above)

In a food processor, combine the chili and pickles. Pulse until finely chopped. Add the remaining ingredients and pulse until well mixed. Set aside. Makes 1 cup

THE LOVE BURGER

10 ounces sirloin steak tips

10 ounces beef brisket, trimmed of fat and cut into small chunks

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

4 hamburger buns

4 slices American cheese

Shredded iceberg lettuce

2 large tomatoes, sliced

Bread and butter pickles

In a food processor, combine the sirloin and brisket. Pulse until ground. Transfer the meat to a large bowl. Add the salt and pepper, then gently mix. Divide the meat and form into 4 equal patties. Heat a grill to medium-high. Lightly oil the grates. Lightly toast the hamburger buns, then set aside. Grill the patties for 2 1/2 minutes per side for medium. During the final minute of grilling, top each burger with a slice of cheese. Serves 4.
