Helpful Tips for You!

Tip 1: For extra flavor, season the burger patties with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices before cooking. This enhances their taste and helps create a delicious crust.

Tip 2: Lightly toast the burger buns on the skillet or grill for a crispy texture and added flavor. This step helps prevent the buns from becoming soggy from the burger juices and condiments.
