Burgers are one of the most common items at backyard BBQs and events. They can range from inexpensive frozen hockey puck burgers to fresh ground steak burgers. The best way to up your burger game is to grind your own meat instead of relying on the store-bought stuff.
I'll show you a couple of different burger recipes and how to grind your meat using a standard meat grinder or your food processor. You don't have to have fancy equipment to grind your meat at home.
If you must use the store bought ground beef, buy it from a place that grinds in house and pick it up the same day you want to make your burgers. Grass fed ground beef is another great way to kick up the flavor.
