Ten best burgers to celebrate the summer with

Picking a favourite burger is like picking a favourite child; and we’re not up for that task. We love them with lamb, we love them with beef. We love simple tasty burgers for a quick and easy midweek dinner. We love more involved burgers for feeding friends on the weekend. So we’ve gathered the ten most popular burgers for you to celebrate summer with – check them out below.

Pure beef and cheese

A little hot sauce, a little mustard and flash grilled cheese, these are simple and delicious. Make sure you’ve got some crunch in there too – lettuce and pickles help.

Leftover pulled lamb burger

This is perfect for after celebrations when you’ve got some leftover lamb sitting there. We love the Mediterranean touch and it’s a family friendly way to use up leftovers.

Smash burgers

Smash burgers are having a moment and with good reason – these babies are crisp, tasty and a cinch to make. Grab the flat plate on your BBQ and feed a crowd with the best burgers!

Kiwi lamb burger

This is a classic. Beetroot and egg are a must as is the herbed patty. We like to make extras and freeze them so we’ve got these burgers ready to go on busy weeknights.

Beef schnitzel burger

Make extra schnitzels and you’ve got the perfect excuse for these burgers! Full of crunch, it’s a different take on a family favourite!

Cheeseburgers with secret sauce

What is a burger without a winning sauce – be it a sweet barbecue, a savour tomato or this super-secret burger sauce. Trust us when we say it’s the best – double the batch and try it with meatballs and wedges.

Mediterranean lamb burger

We love Mediterranean flavours with lamb, it’s just a match made in heaven. Don’t be intimidated by the ingredients list, the feta yoghurt dressing lasts a week in the fridge in a sealed jar and is great with lots of meals.

Lamb burger with garlic mint sauce

These lamb burgers are given a punch of flavour with the creamiest garlic mint sauce. Underneath is a simple and delicious lamb patty; we like to make a couple of batches as they freeze well for easy future meals.

Beef burger with caramelised onions and Dijon mustard

A little French inspired, this burger is a humble and simple dinner. Sweet onions balance the heat of the mustard, and we would have a big green salad with it too.

Ultimate BBQ beef burger

Everyone is a little subjective about what they think is the best burger, but this is a great example of a diner classic. Smokey melted cheese, pickles and a creamy slaw.
