4 Easy to Make Restaurant Style Burgers

The best things come in small packages, burgers included

*I was asked by Carusele to participate in the #LaurasLean campaign, sponsored by Lauras Lean. Although I have been compensated, all opinions are my own.

#ad I love burgers. Done right they hit the cravings in all the right ways and when I can make a good burger at home with fresh ingredients it makes it even better. Making burgers at home allows me to experiment with all sorts of ingredients. Many times when I go to a restaurant and have a great burger I think about how I can make them at home, because who says you can ever have enough of a good thing? Now that I am working from home 100% of the time finding fun things to make while keeping it interesting has become a pastime of mine.

The great thing about Laura’s Lean Beef Patties is that they are all-natural, have no fillers or additives and make a great juicy burger. I made four different kinds of burgers on my quest to match up to some of the burgers I ate in some restaurants and the results were absolutely delicious. You too can make these delicious burgers in the comfort of your own home and taste the deliciousness yourself.

So what makes a great burger? Well everyone is different and I personally love practically everything in the form of flavor; spicy, savory, sweet and tangy. So what did I do? I did a bit of each in these four burger pairings and really fell in love with the different flavor profiles I was able to create. The best thing is that Laura’s Lean Beef Patties made it easy for me because honestly, they are just so fresh.

So let’s get into the burgers. I have made these as simple as possible so that you can quickly put these together and be sitting at the dinner table in less than 30 minutes. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below and if you tried them or now and of course go over to Laura’s Lean Beef to check out where you can find their products in-store.
