If there’s one meal that Paul and I love, it’s hamburgers. Especially Paul – he really loves his burgers!

During the summer, we tend to have burgers a lot since the BBQ is in use at least two times a week. Plus, this year Paul has been whipping up his own homemade burgers instead of the frozen ones we used to buy. I LOVE the way Paul’s burgers come out – they’re always meaty and juicy – just the way I want a burger to be. Mmm, I’m getting hungry just writing this blog post!

As a Canadian Beef Brand Ambassador, we’ve been having even more hamburgers than usual and in the past two weeks, we’ve made burgers three times! Our favourite toppings are the basics: thick slices of cheese (we tend to throw a variety on there), ketchup and mustard (one of the many from Paul’s growing collection).

Paul is still “perfecting” his burger recipe and I’ll be sure to share it on this blog once he gives it his seal of approval. In the meantime, I’m having fun taste-testing the trial burgers!

What about you burger fans out there? What’s your secret ingredient to the perfect burger?
