Midweek Menu 224 (BEST Burgers And Sides)

by Donya Mullins July 26, 2023 Leave a Comment This post may contain affiliate links.

Ready to sink your teeth into a juicy, flavorful burger? If your answer is yes, you’ve come to the right place! Learn how to make perfectly seasoned burgers along with two cookout favorite sides and a cool, easy-to-make dessert with Midweek Menu 224.



Building the perfect burger is an art that combines creativity and a love for good food. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned cook, experimenting with flavors and textures is the key to creating a burger that suits your taste buds perfectly. So, fire up the grill or heat up the pan; it’s time to make an amazing meal with burgers taking center stage!

Homemade burger seasoning labled with ingredients.

How To Build The Perfect Burger

  • The Foundation – choose high-quality ground beef with a good fat-to-lean ratio, usually 80/20 or 70/30. This ensures that the burger remains juicy and flavorful during cooking.
  • Season To Perfection – my burger seasoning recipe is made with the best blend of simple pantry ingredients that bring out the best flavor of the meat.
  • Grill Or Pan-Fry – Grilling imparts a smoky flavor, while pan-frying creates a beautiful crust. Both methods are great, so choose based on your preference.
  • Layer On The Cheese – Go classic, with American or cheddar, or experiment with amped flavors like blue cheese or pepper jack to find the perfect match for your palate.
  • Pick The Best Bun And Build The Stack – pick fresh, soft buns and toast them lightly to add a delightful crunch to your burger. Next, place the lettuce at the bottom to create a moisture barrier and prevent a soggy bun. Follow up with the patty, cheese, and your choice of sauces, tomatoes, and onions. Finally, crown it with the top bun.
