Delicious beef burgers served with chimichurri sauce, melted white cheddar, smashed avocados and fried onions served on buttery brioche buns.

Chimichurri is this delicious Argentinian green sauce usually served with meat and is made from fresh herbs like parsley, garlic, red wine vinegar and red onions. We added a jalapeno for a hint of spice. The flavors go so well with red meat and the burgers are perfect for any summer BBQ you might be hosting! Your guest will love this delicious twist on a classic burger.

The burger patty recipe is fairly easy. No need to go overboard on the seasoning since we’ll be topping the burgers with chimichurri which packs a punch of flavor on its own. We opted for medium to lean ground beef. When you’re making burgers from scratch you need a bit of fat from the meat, that’s where the juices come from. You don’t want to use extra lean meat, the burgers will end up being dry. We recommend making the patties a few hours before cooking that way they won’t break a part on the grill.

We added some smashed avocados to the bottom bun, it just adds that extra hint of freshness and adds a nice layer of creaminess to each bite.

To finish the burgers we melted some white cheddar and topped them off with fried onions! I don’t know about you guys but I love fried onions on my burgers. I always make extra and pile the onions high on top. They just add caramelization the each bite and I love it!

These burgers are honestly so flavourful and so delicious! You guys will love them!
