In theory, making burgers is a simple process: buy your meat, shape it into a patty, season it, and toss it on the grill or stovetop to cook. But there are a few important dos and don’ts that can make the difference between a burger that’s just okay, and one that’s really great.
Cooking for yourself can be daunting at first, especially with limits on budget, equipment, and time. No need to worry, though — we’ve got a selection of easy recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that will fuel you for hours of studying (and partying!).
