HelloFresh’s Top 10 Best Burgers September 7, 2016
If you haven’t already heard, we love burgers. A lot. There’s just something about these hearty, juicy, and cheesy wonders that keeps us coming back again and again. One day a few weeks ago, our culinary team sat down (over burgers, obviously) to come up with an all-star recipe that would make our love for this American classic official. After several rounds of taste testing and heated burger debates, they nailed down the ultimate recipe. It will be in the boxes in two weeks, so select it next week! We don’t want to reveal tooooo much, but trust us: The Icon Burger is the real deal.
In the meantime, feast your eyes on HelloFresh’s top 10 best burgers.
1. Monterey Jack Burger with Red Onion Marmalade and Crispy Zucchini Fries
This burger is a cheesy dream-come-true, and we’ve got Monterey Jack (and our chefs, Frieda and Nate, of course) to thank for that.
2. Pork and Apple Burger with Rosemary Potatoes and Mixed Green Salad
We’re used to the sweet and savory combination of pork chops and applesauce, but this dish takes it up a notch by incorporating the fruit into a juicy burger.
3. Portobello Burgers with Avocado, Caramelized Onions, and Spicy Mayo
Tired of eating the same old veggie burger? Yea, us too. That’s why we’ve upgraded the dish with a hearty portobello and tangy tomato jam that’s a zillion times better than boring ketchup.
4. Sriracha Turkey Burger with Sweet Potato Crisps and Mixed Green Salad
It’s safe to say we’re obsessed with sriracha. It’s the perfect all-purpose hot sauce, especially when mixed into a turkey burger and topped with a generous dollop of sriracha mayo.
5. Chimichurri Burger with Avocado, Monterey Jack, and Cabbage Slaw
Chimichurri spice gives this burger an Argentinian flair, and cubed avocado adds an irresistible creaminess. Together, the two make an unbeatable pair.
6. French Onion Soup Burger with Béchamel, Caramelized Onions, and Kale Chips
Our chefs had the ingenious idea to take all the richly satisfying flavors of our favorite French soup and make it into a hamburger. Excuse us while we drool over how divine that sounds.
7. Thai Pork Larb Burger with Cucumber Mint Salad
Get a taste of Thailand without leaving your kitchen thanks to larb, a traditional Northern Thai dish composed of stir-fried ground meat, herbs, and pungent spices. We put an American spin on the dish by transforming it into a burger spiked with fragrant lemongrass, shallots, and mint.
8. Juicy Lucy Burger with Tomato Onion Jam and Baby Gem Lettuce Salad
Minnesota’s decadent burger is piled high with tender ground meet, oozing cheddar cheese, ketchup, and gem lettuce. Let’s just say it’s not for the faint of heart.
9. Caramelized Pineapple Burger with Monterey Jack Cheese and Red Cabbage Slaw
Just look at how B-E-A-UTIFUL that pineapple looks! This tropical gem adds a hint of sweetness, and the slaw adds a welcome crunch for a Hawaiian-inspired burger of champions.
10. Barbecue Pork Burger with Tangy Slaw and Sweet Potato Fries
Our chefs accomplished what no one thought was possible… they managed to sneak in all the flavor of slow-cooked pulled pork without the agonizing and lengthy cooking time. This calls for a celebration, burger-style.
If you think these look good, prepare to be BLOWN AWAY by what’s coming next. Let the countdown to The Icon Burger begin!
