Bunless Burger Recipes

There are several ways you can create a bunless burger dish. We start ours by using a mixture of ground beef and sausage. The meats are mixed and then roasted red pepper and parmesan cheese is used as a filling for the burgers.

Burgers are grilled and then wrapped with a lettuce leaf. A toothpick is used to affix a tomato to the top of each burger and then they are ready to be served.

Although there are many ways to create a bunless burger dish, most cooks agree that the flavor is key. A great tasting burger will taste so good, you won’t even miss the bun.

For many, a great tasting burger starts with high-quality meat. Grass-fed beef or American style Kobe beef are highly recommended.

If you can’t afford the high-quality meats, you can also add bacon grease or olive oil to your beef. It will make the burgers nice and juicy.

Salt is also a terrific secret weapon for home cooks making bunless burgers. It really picks up the flavor of the meat.
