Quality food is always appreciated. This is true for everyone, including students. Student checks allow for a varied supply of food, but most of the time things get pretty monotonous. More and more, the offer is reduced to various forms of fast food, which can be good, if not the healthiest. Of course, there is the possibility of preparing dishes such as pizzas and burgers yourself. That’s why today we present the five best recipes for a quality burger that you can also prepare yourself.
Gordon Ramsey’s burger
Most likely a populist choice for many, but the quality of the end result is clear. A famous chef’s recipe that the main ingredient is meat, which must be prepared the day before, in addition, it must be well seasoned. Before putting it on the grill, you need to coat the meat with oil. The meat is then placed on a heated grill and moved as little as possible. Season the meatballs and grill them. Do the same with the onions. The meat should also be coated in butter while cooking. Place the cheddar cheese on the meat 30 seconds before the end of cooking. Then coat the bombette with mayonnaise and place the desired vegetables on top, in the lettuce and the original tomatoes. Remove the burger meat and onion from the grill and mix all the ingredients.

Finally, mix the sauce, the meat and the bombette.
Juicy Lucy Burger
A standard burger with an interesting complication. The cheese is mixed with the meat. The recipe is redone for 4 people, but to prepare it you will need:

Place each slice of cheese on the halves and place the other halves on top, then press the edges together to keep the cheese completely closed. Add additional seasoning to the meat and cook as desired, optimally about 4 minutes. Finally, you can cook the bombette again and add the desired vegetables to the burger. Those who want even more experimentation can mix bacon into the meatball mixture in addition to the cheese.

Of course, most burgers are prepared very similarly and the vast majority deviate from the sauces, but we always have the latest recipe for the ultimate burger ready for you. In this case, the recipe is made for 4 people. For the basic preparation of meatballs you need:

You grate the onion on a grater. Add the grated onion to the bowl of minced meat, along with a drop of Worcester sauce, salt and chili flakes. Mix everything by hand and divide into 8 equal parts. From there you make meatballs, which you then cook on each side for 2-4 minutes. Before the end, put the cheese back in, or cook them and put them in the oven with the cheese for 2 minutes.
