The keys to a good burger are to keep it simple and to use quality ingredients, but if you're looking for a recipe to take that hamburger patty from good to great, we've got a few must-tries. We'll be making each of these delicious homemade burgers at least once this summer — how about you?
There's nothing better than tangy pickled jalapeños — except maybe a burger topped with them. This burger gets extra heat from the jalapeños mixed into the beef and the pepper jack cheese melted on top. Make the pickled jalapeños at least a day in advance for the best flavor.
Nothing fancy here, just the classic ingredients: fresh ground beef, melty American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and hickory-smoked bacon.
There's no better way to keep a beef burger juicy than sweet and tangy barbecue sauce. Top yours with Cheddar cheese and crispy bacon for the ultimate grilled burger.
