Classic Burger Recipe for summer! Nothing beats a homemade beef burger patty fresh off the grill and stacked into a nice big juicy burger. Celebrate summer backyard BBQs right and make this!
Summer is in full swing and we are loving it.
As a kid, I loved summertime. I mean, what’s not to love right? No school and I just hung out with my friends and all the other neighborhood kids all day long. Literally, all day long. Most of the time, we just ran around all day until dinner time and would only go back home to run in and grab some food for lunch. We would go explore at this nearby creek and just have fun and splash around. God knows what was in that water but we didn’t care. We were kids.
I remember my parents grilling at night and having my fill of burgers and hot dogs. This is something I do with my family now. There’s something so perfect and right about backyard BBQ’s in the summer and just kicking back and spending time with my family. Up until last year, I actually didn’t know how to use our grill so I would have to wait for my husband to get home from work so he could grill our burgers and hot dogs and whatever else I had planned for the evening.
Well, not anymore.
Now, I’m no grill master but I can hold my own. And I grilled these homemade burgers and hot dogs for my kids and they loved them.
As long as we are outside, the sun is out and my kids can run around and play while I’m cooking, everyone is happy. I buy my antibiotic free meats from ALDI. This gives me peace of mind when I’m grilling up burgers and hot dogs for my family because I know I am using quality foods and saving money.
ALDI’s SimplyNature Organic 100% Grass Fed Ground Beef is 85% lean (which is perfect for making burgers) and comes in a convenient 1 lb. package. It’s free of antibiotics, hormones, and steroids. Organic, grass fed ground beef tends to be higher in healthy fats than conventional ground beef.
ALDI also has great fresh fruits and vegetables, ice cream, chips, pickles and anything else you would need for a summer BBQ. So, make this the best summer ever and get out to your local ALDI to pick up all of your barbecue needs!

June 24, 2016 at 6:14 amNow I’m craving a really good burger. Nothing is like those good old days when summers were totally carefree and we could just play all day and then grill at night. I’ve gotta work more on making those memories for my kids! These burgers look incredible, too. So thick and juicy!

June 24, 2016 at 6:16 amOne of the many reasons I love summer is because it’s grilling season! My husband is the grill master around here, but we grill quite often. Burgers are my favorite, too…you just can’t beat that on a summer night. This looks delicious, Alice! Definitely a perfect meal!

December 29, 2017 at 9:01 pmI just made 42 of these bad boys… probably should have tried it on a smaller batch first but as te kids say yolo. Have both my and my ladies families coming here tomorrow for her and my brother surorise birthday party. He thinks it’s for her. She thinks it’s for him. We’re also letting them know we’re expecting. It’s going to be a great weekend even if it is a little chilly. Hope the burgers are as good as they look and sound. Her father is a bit of tough critic on the grill
