When people think of burgers, more often than not their first thought goes to fast food and premade burgers. Most people’s favorite burgers are found at McDonald’s, Five Guys, In ‘n Out, or a variety of local burger places that dot every city with a sizable population. That’s not to mention all of the burgers you can find at restaurants and bars that have all sorts of burgers. Rarely if ever will you find someone saying “You know, I really have to go to Bob’s place again, he makes the best burgers ever!” Every summer, people will fire up the grill but the burgers don’t get very creative when everything you need is right inside your kitchen.
A burger can be almost anything. Some may only define a burger to be one or more patties made of beef surrounded by two buns, but there’s an almost infinite amount of options. Patties can be made with more than just beef and buns can be made with more than just white bread. The variety of condiments you can top your burgers with, ranging from cheeses to sauces to vegetables and even fruits can really make each burger you make unique and better than the last.
There are several keys to making your burger the best it can be, besides just condiments, what you choose to make the patty out of, and buns.
For one, the spices you add to season your meat or other burger material can completely change the taste of your patties. If you properly season your patty, your burger can shine even if you decide to use fewer condiments.
Additionally, the method of cooking can change how a burger turns out. The preparation will differ depending on how you like your burger, the amount of meat/ingredient you use for each burger, what ingredients you use to make your patty, and more. Following the instructions for each recipe, learning what to do for different types of ingredients, and learning how each method of cooking burgers differs should be at the top of your mind when trying these recipes.
