Simple Summer Hamburgers
These homemade hamburgers have been on my mind lately for a number of reasons.
- With the weather changing and the heat rising, turning on the oven is just not what I want to be doing every night. Taking the cooking outside or even to the stove makes a huge difference in the general temperature of the house!
- This meal is super nostalgic for me- bringing it back to summer nights in our back yard with family. And since visiting family isn’t really an option these days, this will have to do for now!
- Who doesn’t love a simple, juicy, summertime burger?! It’s hard to beat.
So, fire up the grill, get your toppings ready and enjoy this memorable meal for summers to come!
