Notes
TIFFY’S TIPS
- I use 80/20 percent for a good amount of fat in my burger.
- The last thing you want is a dry hamburger… be careful not to overcook! Make sure you use a meat thermometer for the perfect internal temperature.
- I love cheddar cheese on my burger but add your favorite. So many options… pepper jack, American, brie, havarti, blue cheese, gouda, Swiss or goat…YUM!!!
- While the grill is hot, cook onions, bell pepper, poblano peppers to add a different depth and flavor profile to your burger.
- Let’s talk about buns as the selections are certainly endless. Ciabatta roll, kaiser roll, onion roll, potato roll, pretzel roll, sesame seed, and gluten free. All buns have my vote but brioche is my VERY favorite!
