FAQS
Is it better to season burgers before or after cooking?
If using store-bought patties, season them well on both sides with salt and pepper before cooking. If forming your own patties, season the blend as you mix and shape them.
How do you serve burgers at a party?
Arrange the burger patties, buns, and bread options on one table. On another table, display the toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and cheese. Ensure that there are enough of each topping and consider labeling them so guests can easily identify what they want.
