How to Grill the Perfect Burger

Let’s discuss a few burger basics before we delve into this amazing burger recipe list! There are a few things in our house that we have found make our burgers the right size so they fit the bun in the end!

1. Use a burger press. Ours is aluminum instead of plastic, so it’s lasted for years and is much sturdier to press the meat into the perfectly shaped patty!
2. The next secret to the best burger recipe is to put your thumb into the middle of your perfectly formed burger to create a divot. Don’t believe me try it! This will prevent your burger from swelling up into a big meatball when it’s done.
3. Don’t press your grill spatula into the burger thinking you are searing lines into it, all you are doing is pressing out the juices giving you a dry burger.
