Burger Tips for Barbecue Success
Summer and fall – and the long weekends in between – are ideal times to fire up the grill and bring the family together for some outdoor fun.
Burgers, the quintessential barbecue fare, are among America’s all-time favourite foods.
For variety, top them with unconventional fixings, such as:
- avocado slices
- arugula,
- and fresh basil
For the best taste and optimum freshness, connoisseurs recommend organic ground beef.
“USDA-certified organic ground beef is made from animals that have not been injected with synthetic hormones or antibiotics.
And that eat food free of animal byproducts and grown without pesticides,” said Michael Levine, president of Organic Prairie Family of Farms.
One of the nation’s leading cooperatives of organic farmers and providers of organic meat.
Here are some burger-making tips from Organic Prairie.
- For the best flavour, use 85 per cent lean ground beef. If you choose leaner meat, add a splash of tomato juice or Worcestershire sauce to increase flavour and moisture.
- Finely mince any garlic, onions or other vegetables that will be mixed into the meat. Larger chunks will make the burger fall apart on the grill.
- Wet clean hands prior to making the patties. The patties should be formed loosely, not packed or pressed, and should be about one-half-inch thick and slightly wider than the bun.

Go that little further and delight them with a burger with a twist. See their faces light up as you cook.
