Notes
- When it comes time to cook the burgers, you can grill them or cook them in a skillet on the stovetop. Just be sure to let the pan get hot before adding the burgers so they get a nice sear on the outside.
- The secret to a perfect burger is to cook the patties on high heat, lock in the juices, and get a crispy, caramelized outside.
- Use high-quality beef for the tastiest burgers. If you can find it, organic grass-fed and finished meat makes an excellent choice.
- Rodeo Burgers are delicious, but if you want to take them up a notch, try topping them with Asiago cheese, avocado, and jalapeño.
