Caramalized Burgers
This is a rather sloppy burger because it’s so juicy. Bring your napkins. It’s made in a slightly different way than a patty. In this case, you create a meatball and flatten it on a sizzling hot grill. This type of method actually caramelizes the outside of the burger for that oh, so satisfying crunch.Don’t forget to personalize the toppings according to your taste. Stack 'em high! This is one of those creations you can really have fun with. If you’d like something less fatty, use ground chicken.
