Best 6 Simple Burgers Recipes
When it comes to simple burgers, there are a few key elements that you need to consider: the patty, the bun, and the toppings. The patty is the heart of the burger, and it's important to choose high-quality ground beef that is at least 80% lean. For the bun, you can use a classic hamburger bun, or you can get creative and use a pretzel bun, brioche bun, or even a slider bun. And finally, the toppings are where you can really let your personality shine through. Whether you prefer classic toppings like ketchup, mustard, and relish, or you want to get more adventurous with toppings like avocado, bacon, or fried eggs, the possibilities are endless.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients with your hands.
- Break off sections and form into patty's.
- Cook on the stove or BBQ.
Tips:
- Choose the right beef: Use a ground beef blend with a fat content of at least 20% for juicy burgers.
- Season the beef simply: Just salt and pepper are all you need to let the flavor of the beef shine through.
- Form the patties gently: Don't overwork the beef, or the burgers will be tough.
- Make a thumbprint in the center of each patty: This will help prevent the burgers from puffing up in the middle.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the burgers are cooked to your desired doneness: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, 155°F for medium-well, and 165°F for well-done.
- Let the burgers rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
- Top the burgers with your favorite toppings: Classic options include cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles.

Just remember to use fresh, high-quality ingredients, season the beef simply, cook the burgers over medium heat, and let them rest before serving.
