Summer Grilling Burger Blast

Take a bite of the best burgers you can make at home, whether you are doctoring up one of our Gourmet Burgers with toppings or making patties from DLM Natural Beef Ground Chuck, lifetime free of added hormones and antibiotics! When you start with quality beef, it’s easy to build a better burger with a few simple rules. To start, bigger is not necessarily better: go for a balance of flavor that should be tasted in every bite. Here are three of my favorite ideas for making this summer an absolute burger blast!

BOLD BLUE BURGER

If you love the bite of blue cheese, trust us on this combo that double-downs on it. Coat your burger before cooking with some cracked black pepper to help give it extra flavor. While finishing on the grill, top with your favorite crumbled blue cheese—try Rogue River Blue. When ready to build your burger, slather some DLM Blue Cheese Dressing on both sides of a DLM Golden Hamburger Bun. Top with a few strips of DLM Uncured Bacon, red onion, and a tuft or two of peppery arugula.

The Frenchie Burger

Love French onion soup? This burger has all of those flavors in one bite! Top your burger while grilling with a few thick slices of Gruyère cheese. Smear aioli on both sides of a DLM Golden Hamburger Bun. Dollop the bottom bun with some caramelized onion, add your burger, and top with more of those caramelized onions. C’est magnifique!

The Stack Burger

Make your own version of an everything sauce by mixing equal parts ketchup, mustard, and mayo together for a perfect burger spread. Or, try Terrapin Ridge Farms Everything Aioli. Smear this sauce as a base for both the bottom and top bun. Layer two thin burgers with melted Cheddar cheese. Top with a generous layer of dill pickle chips and sliced white onion, and you're set for summer!
