Frequently Asked Questions about Best Seasoned Burgers
One of the keys to the perfect burger is knowing how long to cook burgers on the grill. According to this article, you should cook your burger patty to 165 degrees F. This means, you’ll want to pull it off the grill when the burger temperature is around 155 degrees F because the meat will continue to cook while resting. The best way to know when you’re burger is at the perfect temperature is to use a meat thermometer.
Let the burger rest for a few minutes before digging in. You want all of the juices to redistribute throughout the burger. If you cut or bite right into it, all of the delicious juice will come pouring out.
Of course, it is really easy to adjust this recipe for the amount of people you need. Big batch or small.
You also want to make sure you don’t press down on the burger while it’s cooking. This will cause all of the juices to drip out of the burger into your grill, losing all the flavors. Not only will your burger be dry, but it will also cause flare-ups on your grill.
There are so many to choose from for example: Creamy Sriracha Sauce, Best Burger Sauce or Campfire Sauce.
