3 Ways to Celebrate National Hamburger Day

There are so many ways you can celebrate this day while enjoying a delicious burger. Gather your friends and family and get the grill going!

2. Support a local business: It’s getting hotter out which means outdoor dining at your local burger shop. Or you can choose to do carry out and enjoy your favorite burger at home. Enjoy a night in or out with the family with delicious burgers.

3. Get creative: Have a burger cook-off with your neighbors. Try a fan favorite or something new, then gather your friends and vote on which one is the favorite burger.

4 Hamburger Recipe Ideas

Whether you like your burger the same way each time, or you like to change things up, here are some ideas on how to add some pizazz to your burgers!

1. Switch up the spices: Add some spices to the meat before you cook it – garlic powder, cayenne powder, even some smoked paprika. If you want a kick, add some jalapenos.

2. Add new toppings: Top the burger off with some usual items such as lettuce, tomatoes, onions, or pickles, but add some new ones as well. Grilled onions, avocado, cucumber, or even some coleslaw.

3. Swap out the bun: Mix it up with a different type of bun. Try some focaccia bread, sourdough, or a brioche roll.

4. Explore Condiments: Try a new condiment besides the usual ketchup and mustard. Maybe some truffle aioli, chipotle sauce, or even a pesto aioli.

A hamburger is a classic food item that represents comfort and being with close friends and family. Enjoy the day how you like, there are endless possibilities!
