Maybe I was a weird kid. But I never understood how all the other kids I knew could get so excited about the prospect of a McDonald’s Happy Meal. Sure, I liked the toys – what kid isn’t at least somewhat of a sucker for any meal that comes with a cheap plastic doodad to play with while you eat – but those flimsy flavorless slabs of meat sandwiched between equally bland bread? Eh, not so thrilling. So for a long, long time, I thought I hated burgers. Then one day I ate a real burger. A thick, juicy, glorious beauty of a burger, perfectly charred on the outside, dripping with good beef flavor on the inside. This burger was the sort of food I could see getting hankerings for on lazy summer Sunday afternoons spent hanging out on the patio with friends. It was delicious; it was divine; it was a dreamy, drool-worthy bit of beef patty perfection. And with a single bite, I went from being an avowed burger-hater to a true burger fan. It’s amazing that there are so many ho-hum burgers being served up out there in the world when a truly fabulous burger is such an easy thing to make. If you’re one of the folks out there who’s been settling for dry bland burgers figuring they’re just a vehicle for ketchup and mustard and pickles, no more excuses. Good burgers are such a no-brainer to make that there’s really no reason in the world that blah burgers should exist at all. Check out these secrets to a perfect burger …
choose the right meat If you’re really, really craving a burger but just can’t eat beef for whatever reason, ground turkey burgers can be tasty. Again, it’s better to go with one of the fattier offerings rather than the extra-lean.
