Ingredients:
The Lazy Camper’s Burger Recipe
- Pre-made burger patties (store-bought or pre-shaped)
- Burger buns
- Cheese slices (optional)
- Condiments of your choice (ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.)
- Sliced tomatoes, onions, lettuce (optional, for toppings)
Instructions:
1. Prepping the Grill (or Fire Pit): Forget complicated grilling techniques; opt for the easiest method possible. If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. Alternatively, if you’re by a campfire, ensure you have a sturdy grate or a flat rock to place above the fire.
2. Ready-to-Cook Patties: Grab those pre-made burger patties. Season them with a sprinkle of salt and pepper if desired. No need to get your hands messy shaping the meat—let convenience be your best friend.
3. Onto the Heat: Place the patties onto the grill or fire pit grate. Let them sizzle away for around 4-5 minutes on each side. For a perfect burger, resist the urge to keep flipping—just one flip will do!
4. Cheese, Please (Optional): If you’re a cheese lover, add a slice onto the patties a minute or so before they’re ready. Let it melt to gooey perfection.
5. Bun Toasting: Utilize the residual heat on the grill or fire pit to lightly toast the burger buns. A little char adds that extra campfire essence.
6. Build Your Burger: Once everything is cooked and toasted to your liking, it’s assembly time! Layer the bun with the juicy patty, add any desired toppings, slather on your preferred condiments, and crown it with the top bun.
7. Time to Feast: Congratulations! Your lazy camping burger masterpiece is ready to be devoured. Sit back, relax, and relish the flavor explosion you’ve effortlessly created.
