🔥 10 Must-Make Burger Recipes
- ​Garlic Butter Bacon Cheeseburger – Stacked with crispy bacon, a juicy patty, cheddar, and slathered with homemade garlic butter, this one is the definition of indulgence. It’s not just a burger, it’s a full-send flavor hit.
- ​Griddle Burger – Crispy laced edges and a juicy center - this is our ode to the smash burger done right on a griddle. Perfect for high-heat sears and quick cravings.
- ​Grilled Fajita Burgers – Seasoned beef meets fajita-style grilled veggies for a Tex-Mex mashup that’s equal parts burger and fiesta. Load it up, throw it on the grill, and let the flavors do the talking.
- ​Chimichurri Butter Burger – Our house-made chimichurri steals the show here. Slathered over a perfectly grilled patty, it adds herbaceous, garlicky punch without overpowering the meat. There's a reason we call it magic sauce.
- ​Juicy Ground Venison Burgers – Lean, rich, and flavor-forward, this one’s for the meat nerds who know their way around a grinder. We show you our trick to keeping venison juicy in every bite.
- ​Grilled Bison Burger – A leaner grind that still packs deep, beefy taste. The key is cooking it right and serving it simply. No filler, just clean, bold bison flavor done the right way. And OMG that slaw.
- ​Grilled Ground Pork Burgers with Hatch Chiles – Completely different protein, completely different flavor profile. The flavor the fire-roasted Hatch chiles bring is just the right amount of heat.
- ​Smoked Hamburgers – Our trick for adding real wood smoke to a burger without drying it out. Finished with crazy good caramelized onions and melty cheddar, this one’s perfect for grillmasters looking to flex.
- ​Philly Cheesesteak Burger – Two classics in one. It's all the savory steakhouse flavors you crave (onions, peppers, provolone) packed into a beefy burger with a roasted garlic aioli that makes this amazing. It’s messy, it’s bold, and it's absolutely delicious.
- ​Perfect Beef Burgers – Our foolproof method for nailing the perfect temperature every single time. This is where you start if you’re chasing perfection. We break down the best grind, the ideal temperature, and exactly how to build a better burger from the meat up.

🔥 Before You Fire Up That Grill...
Make sure you're set up for success with these game-changing guides that turn good cooks into grill masters:
🔧 ProPrep Tips for Burger Month
- Chill Your Patties: Shape them and let them rest in the fridge to firm up before cooking. Never forget to dimple the center.
- Smash or Grill? Smash for crispiness edge to edge, or grill for classic sear marks—use the right tool for the texture you want.
- Thermometer is Key: Use a quick-read thermometer to hit 160°F (or your preferred temp if grinding your own beef).
- Bundle and Save: Batch cook and freeze extras—just reheat on a hot skillet or covered grill for quick meals all week.

đź“Ł What Your Butcher Uses but You Should Too
Three simple tools can level up your burger game:
- A quick-read meat thermometer (this is the one we ALWAYS use)
- Heavy-duty cast iron or flat top for even sear (my personal favorite)
- A good spatula for flipping. No floppy let downs.
No need for fancy toys—start with the fundamentals. It's all you need.
