3 delicious ways to switch up your burger routine this summer

3 delicious ways to switch up your burger routine this summer

If you’re like us, you’re always up for a good burger. We love how you can change up and personalize a classic Ontario beef patty with different toppings, a new cheese or your favourite locally-made condiments. You can even change up your bun to keep things exciting! If you normally buy classic burger buns, for example, try a fresh potato roll, a brioche bun or even a pretzel bun.

No matter how much you love our classic beef burgers, it can be fun (and delicious) to switch up your burger routine. Here are three tasty ideas from the Rowe Farms team. If you’d like to know more about these awesome local products, please contact us or speak to your local butcher in Guelph or Toronto. We’d be glad to hear from you!

Make smashburgers

Smash burgers are having a moment, and for good reason. They offer incredible flavour and texture in every crispy, melty, delicious bite. All you need is a flat top grill (here are a few options) or a flat top piece that can sit on your BBQ, plus a decent grill press. If you haven’t made smash burgers at home before, here’s a recipe to help guide you. Try making them with our medium ground beef, lean ground beef or delicious ground beef and pork blend. Don’t forget some sharp cheddar cheese, a soft bun and your favourite toppings!

Enjoy a chicken or turkey burger

We love beef, but chicken burgers and turkey burgers deserve a moment in the spotlight, too. They’re lean, flavourful and delicious—kids and adults alike will enjoy them, and it’s a great way to use different proteins in a familiar meal. We like topping this kind of burger with fresh lettuce, sliced tomato, pickled onion and ripe avocado (or a spicy guac, if you’re up for that). You can also use some rich garlic aioli, a slice of havarti or a bit of flavourful blue cheese, mango salsa and other summery toppings. Yum!

Try a lamb burger

Lamb is another must-try for burger season. Our Ontario lamb patties are tender and delicious with a mild, delicate flavour that’s ideal for topping to your preference. Consider adding fresh arugula, some of that garlic aioli, or a generous scoop of tzatziki. However you top this burger, it’s going to be amazing!
