Best Burger Recipes
What we like about burgers is how easy they are to customize. You can go classic with lettuce, tomato, and onion, or switch it up with bold sauces, melty cheeses, and unique toppings. Burgers work for picky eaters and food lovers alike. Theyโre fast to make, and they donโt require a long list of ingredients. Just a good patty and a hot surface go a long way.
Best Burger Cooking Tips
When it comes to cooking, donโt press down on the burgers. That squeezes out the juices and makes them dry. Let the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking so the juices settle. If youโre grilling, a little char adds flavor. If youโre using a skillet, aim for a crust on the outside without overcooking the center. Get more cooking tips: How to Grill Burgers.
Little details matter
Buns matter, too. Toast them lightly for texture and to keep them from getting soggy. And donโt overload the burger with toppings that slide off. Keep it balanced so every bite holds together.
Have a crowd to feed? Make smaller patties for sliders or keep extras warm in a low oven until ready to serve. Burgers also freeze well, so you can prep ahead and cook later. Keep burgers warm on a buffet in a slow cooker with a little water in the bottom.
Got your own favorite sauce or topping? Add it. Thatโs the best part, burgers leave room to make it yours. Scroll through the list and find the ones that suit your next cookout or weeknight meal. Theyโre fast, simple, and always welcome at the table.
What to serve with the best burgers
Serve your delicious burgers with Finney’s Potato Salad, Cucumber Salad, Broccoli Cornbread Salad, or offer a baked potato bar to a crowd.
Of course, you need a good drink during hot weather. Watermelon Cucumber Mojitos are perfect.
