Juicier, Tastier, Better: My Updated Burger Recipe

How to make the perfect burger at home, every time

Hi foodie,

There’s no better time for burgers than right now. Summer is in full swing, the 4th of July is around the corner, and whether you’re firing up the grill or cooking indoors, a juicy homemade burger never disappoints. So I went back to one of my all-time favorite recipes and gave it the full upgrade: new mouthwatering photos, essential tips for burger perfection, clever variations, and a helpful guide on choosing the right kind of meat.

If you're in the mood for a full cookout, pair your burger with a refreshing side like my coleslaw or a cool tzatziki sauce to spread on top or serve on the side. Trust me—it’s the ultimate summer combo.

Updated: The Perfect Burger

This classic burger recipe just got even better. With easy-to-follow steps, tips for choosing the best beef blend, and creative add-ons like caramelized onions, spicy mayo, or grilled pineapple, this recipe is endlessly adaptable. Whether you grill it outdoors or use a stovetop skillet, the result is a flavorful, juicy burger with a soft bun and your favorite toppings. Don’t miss the new tips on getting that perfect sear and keeping the patty juicy without falling apart.

Just me and my burger
