This summer, we’re craving more than just the usual lettuce and tomato. We’re talking arugula and heirloom tomatoes for added depth, tangy goat cheese instead of cheddar, and buns toasted with garlic and parsley. Or, if we’re feeling spicy, ghost pepper cheese and jalapeño poppers are calling our names. And let’s not forget the smoky goodness of bacon jam and caramelized onions. We’re ready to take our burgers to the next level. Want to know our favorite combos and international twists? Keep exploring – the perfect patty is just a few toppings away.
Savoring the Classics With a Twist
As we fire up the grill this summer, we’re cranking up the flavor by putting a spin on the traditional beef burger toppings that never go out of style.
We’re not talking about ditching the classics, but rather elevating them to new heights. Take the humble lettuce and tomato, for instance. We’re swapping in peppery arugula and heirloom tomatoes for added depth.
And don’t even get us started on the cheese – we’re going for a tangy, creamy goat cheese instead of the usual cheddar.
Even the buns get a makeover, toasted to perfection with a sprinkle of garlic and parsley.
It’s time to level up our burger game, people!
