You can also add sharp cheddar or melted Swiss cheese for that extra touch. Pair these delicious burgers with homemade fries or a fresh garden salad to create a well-rounded meal.
Storage and reheating tips
If you have leftovers (which is often a rarity!), make sure to store your cooked patties in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last for about 3-4 days. For reheating, simply pop them in the microwave for a couple of minutes or reheat on the grill for a crispy finish. If you want to save extras for a longer period, these burgers freeze beautifully. Wrap them individually and store them in the freezer for up to three months.
Helpful cooking tips
- For juicy burgers, avoid overworking the meat when mixing your ingredients.
- Let your patties rest for a few minutes before serving, which helps them retain moisture.
- Experiment with different grilling times based on your thick burger preferences for optimal doneness.
Creative twists
There’s so much room for variation with Hamburger Jazz! Add BBQ sauce to the mix for a smoky flavor, or throw in jalapeños for a spicy kick. Don’t hesitate to try different cheeses or swap out traditional toppings for fun options like avocado or sautéed mushrooms.
