The Best Inexpensive Cuts of Meat

Hamburgers

 The Spruce

Hamburgers are the most popular food sizzling on the grill and for a very good reason—almost everyone enjoys them. Whether you have the standard burger patty or like to add a cheesy surprise, most guests are excited to enjoy a good, juicy burger. It doesn’t hurt that they won’t break the bank, either.

Nowadays, people seem to be coming up with hundreds of ways of making a better burger. Any way that you slice it, though, it is best to make your burger with fresh ground beef, handle it as little as possible, and avoid forming your burger patties too thick. It may sound like a good idea to create thick burgers, but those also require a longer cooking time, meaning a dryer burger in the end. In addition, you can stretch your ground meat farther by making a patty that is small enough to fit the bun, instead of one that is impressive to look at.
