Certified Angus Beef Burgers with Homemade Pickles

Need a little inspo? Here’s a quick recipe with a fresh twist!

Ingredients:

– 1 lb Heartland’s Certified Angus Ground beef (or preformed patties)
– 4 burger buns
– lettuce, tomato slices, and onion slices (optional, for garnish)
– salt and pepper to taste

For the Pickles:

– 1 cup sliced cucumbers
– 1/2 cup white vinegar
– 1/2 cup water
– 1 tbsp sugar
– 1/2 tbsp salt
– 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
– 1/2 tsp dill seeds
– 1/4 tsp black peppercorns

Instructions:

Prepare the Pickles: In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, mustard seeds, dill seeds, and black peppercorns. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Place sliced cucumbers in a jar and pour the brine over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Form the Burger Patties: Season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Divide into 4 equal portions and shape into patties. Press your thumb into the center of each patty to create a slight indentation (this helps the patties cook evenly).

Grill the Burgers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. Toast the burger buns on the grill for about 1 minute, until lightly charred.

Assemble the Burgers: Place each grilled patty on a toasted bun. Top with homemade pickles and any desired garnishes such as lettuce, tomato slices, and onion. Serve hot and enjoy with your favorite 4th of July sides!
