Ground Beef Recipes Perfect For Spring

While a good burger always starts with good beef, there’s more to the classic sandwich than the standard preparation. Try out these inventive recipes to make the most of that beef in the fridge.

Classic Beef Sliders

Sliders are always a great hand-held option, so there’s no silverware required for these fun-sized sandwiches. Whether you’re using a grill outside or a pan in your kitchen, you’ll need to start by applying a good brush of oil to the cooking surface. Slider patties are generally smaller than hamburger patties, so aim to pat them to about half an inch thick each. To help the beef retain its shape on the heat, make a slight indentation in the middle of each patty, then season with salt and pepper. Hawaiian sweet rolls make the perfect bun for these mini burgers, and you can top the meat with any condiments you have on hand.

Patty Melts

This patty melt recipe calls for a mix of ground beef and ground turkey, and you can bind it all together with a couple of teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce. You’ll also need to soften up some onions and mushrooms in olive oil before flavoring them with vinegar and Worcestershire as well. Once the shrooms and onions have been cooked, clear out the pan, season the meat, and cook it over medium-high heat. Once everything is cooked, load the meat, toppings, and cheese into sandwiches. To complete the melts, wipe down the pan again to finish the sandwiches in olive oil over medium heat. It should only take a minute or two on each side to toast the bread and melt the cheese.

Bacon Cheeseburger Crescent Ring

When presentation matters, the Bacon Cheeseburger Crescent Ring is sure to impress. This wonderful wheel of bacon and beef flavors is incased in a flaky shell of crescent roll bread, combining the familiar burger with a crowd-pleasing appearance and unique texture. The meat starts on the stovetop before being wrapped in the roll bread and baked in the oven. The finished, golden brown dish can be served with a homemade sauce tucked snugly in the center.
