THE PERFECT BURGER
We are always making The Perfect Burger when the sun is out and shining. It’s so much fun to make such a flavorful, comforting food at home without having to go out to get one.
Not to mention it is so scary easy to make The Perfect Burger at home.
All you need is a hot grill or a hot grill pan to make them inside. This allows for The Perfect Burger rain or shine!
Most of the ingredients can be found in your pantry with only a few fresh things to purchase. If you have a beautiful garden growing you may only need the ground beef for this recipe.
Our burger checklist:
- juicy
- flavorful and not bland
- scrumptious burger sauce
- melted cheese
- potato bun!
With those four requirements we’ve got ourselves a banging burger that holds up to any restaurant version.
When making a burger at home one of the biggest benefits is that you can control the size of the burger and the cooking time. Have you ever been out at a restaurant, order a burger, and feel like you’re munching on a pound of ground beef? Or ordered your burger medium to receive a burnt to the crisp burger? Even worse, a rare burger?!
These burgers can be cooked to perfection, the time you like them, and still leave them juicy enough to keep you drooling.
Burger sauce is an absolute MUST on burger nights.
We just throw together a few ingredients, give it a good mix and call it a day. Our go to lately has been mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, minced garlic, worcestershire, and pickled relish. Keeping it spicy with the hot sauce, creamy with the mayo, and tangy with the relish makes for the perfect combination.
The flavor of this burger sauce is all your burger ever needed or ever wanted. It leaves you satisfied like you just had The most Perfect Burger ever in your life!
Serve these babies with crispy fries and you’ve got yourself an easy meal that’s sure to please everyone in your family!
