Timesaving Tips to make this perfect every time

  • For a juicy burger, use ground beef that is no leaner than 85 percent.
  • Don't use pre-made patties, you will get more flavor making the patties yourself. 
  • Don't forget to toast the hamburger buns. A cold bun will take away from a delicious burger.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
