If you’re looking for a break from plain, give this Italian burger recipe a try. Mixing additional ingredients in with the meat is sometimes the key to an excellent burger.

We love burgers by the pool in the summer or in front of the fireplace in the winter.

Burgers especially hit the spot after a long day of summer activities. Get all kinds of outdoor activity ideas on Globo Surf.

Use a burger press to make the hamburger even more visually appealing. The burger press helps measure appropriate-sized burgers and makes them look nicer and more uniform.
